Often times the most difficult part is starting. What holds us back? Is it comfort? Are we scared? Neophobic (fear of new things)?
Whatever it is it defines the haves from the have-nots.
Get going.

This is a poor practice. When we are devoted to keeping up, we are no longer inventing the future.

Telling Stories
Telling stories is underrated.
What makes a good story teller? I attempt to shed some light on the answer:
Learning seems to get harder with age. It is not that I do not want to learn, rather, it is that I have to make a much more conscious effort in doing so. I have been thinking a lot lately about what my passions are and what I really want to become good at.

What drives people to buy?
Working in retail gets me wondering about what drives people to buy. I am often confronted by people who are looking to purchase on a whim. They come in, see something that is cool, pick it up and hand me a plastic card. Its amazing how much I feel contempt for people like that. They may have the money or means to make the purchase, but not the meaning. I have no desire or right to actually know if they can afford what they are buying, but it gets me questioning whether collectively we have lost our ability to see the real value in products.

Further, a positive first impression sets the stage for a positive experience.
