Dumbfoundedly, I was complete and set upon giving an audio-only deliverable for today's consumption. Instead, I have found an experience which is as audio-weighted, as it is visually-centered. 

I hold a place in my mind for the daily treasures cultivated and delivered from Maria's digital library. 

As my site, this queue, is intended to be a cultivation tank for deep thinking and cognitive tinkering, I have stayed dicplined with regard to the urge to give you the least information necesary to, "connect the dots," as it were. So, today I leave you with a link, to a video, and encourage to explore, research, and discover... something new.

There was a time. Then, there is this time.... We get the opportunity to do better. In a lot of instances, this better is not recognized by those holding on to the past. In a lot of instances, this better is not recognized by those trying to reconcile morality in the zeitgeist. Yet, here we are. We scour, salvage, and search for meaning in the mundane. Yet, there are moments when we miss the message in the spectacle. While cynicism, maligned skepticism, hold more allure we miss the optimism which builds a vision. We miss the view from the precipice of possibility which depends on the acknowledgment of the problem, but is not dependent on building your foundation in it. I am optimistic in my skepticism. I was not born this way, not that I know of... However, I have learned (or re-learned), trained (or re-trained), myself to respond in ways which take on a view from possibility of a future that is not present. I do not always hit this mark on the head, and yet I am optimistic that one day this will be a reflex like blinking my eyes in the wind, shivering in the cold, or hugging my friend while they mourn. There is more in the mundane and there is simplicity in the spectacle. Do amazing things.

We win. We lose. We play the game.

To what end?

In this piece I found myself contemplating my thinking around the value of a painstaking task. Is there a loss of appreciation for the particular, purposedly difficult, craft and it’s creator?

The elegance in the observedly simple presentation of an intentionally complex task is lost in culture of execution based on efficiency.

Have I lost was it means to give myself enough time to build and deliver the vision from my mind?

Am I aimlessly wandering through methods of how to do something quicker, faster and cheaper rather than doing that thing well?

The value truly is in “How you play the game.”

How do you do your task, well?

What is it that you do which requires more time to create, and is delivered one degree better because of it?

Maybe you know what that is, and it is what makes you better, your product is better, and the customers are better because of it.

It may be that you do not know, and you are lost in delivering a good enough thing, but you know it is not one degree better.

The present is seldom won by what is good enough.

The future is seldom insured by that which is one degree off.

We must make the time to do the task, well.

There is deliberate, determined, diligent practice and correction which does not stop merely because you have completed the task.

We get better by paying attention to our “How” in so far as we consciously consistently learn from our wins and losses.

Be one degree better.

Build well friends.
