Between Thought and Expression Lies A Lifetime

How fitting. I am testing a prototype now. Did a test yesterday. This rings so true.

“It’s what comes next that is so much more interesting - the point between taking that idea for a new application or service and actually expressing it in a real form. Building it. Prototyping it. That’s when your ideas are subject to limits (technical, execution, market, financial) and those limits actually test your theses and tenets. Prototyping shows you where your assumptions were wrong, maybe, and how your idea may be even better than you thought. Most importantly, it subjects your idea to numerous unanticipated constraints.”

YES. IN.DEED.

FACT.
“Those of us in the financial community know that when you have too big a position in a stock and are confronted with sleepless nights, you have to sell down to the sleeping point. For me, I have to give down to the sleeping point.”

Paul Tudor Jones reflects on the social ills that face most of the world. And is choosing to do something about it.
“Win or lose you will never regret working hard, making sacrifices, being disciplined or focusing too much.”
Being your absolute best is a process. God is a consuming Fire. Therefore, when you get close to him he will refine you, he will knock off the rough edges and He will teach you valuable lessons. During this process you may want to quit, but God is saying, “don’t quit, I am preparing you for a great purpose, hang in there your Blessing is on the way” (Gal 6:9) You need to get up in the morning and say, “God I trust you, I know and believe everything is going to work out! You are behind the scenes working on my behalf! My time is coming!” When you do this you are stepping out of the way and letting go and letting God work! Trust and believe your blessing is on the way!! -Naeem
AMEN

“The new radicalism is paper. Right? Publish it on a printed page and no one will ever know about it. It’s the perfect vehicle for terrorists, plagiarists, and for subversive thoughts in general. If you don’t want it to exist—and there are many reasons to want to keep things private—keep it off the web. But if you put it in digital form, expect it to be bootlegged, remixed, manipulated, and endlessly commented upon. Expect spiders to pick it up and use it as ad-bait on spoof web pages. The moment you put it out there, all bets are off; it’s way out of your control.”

So true. Duh. I want more people to understand this.

Completely agree. Part of the reason why I disabled the automatic sharing option on my blog.
