Word of the Week – Compromise

Act ASAP ·

2022/04/25

I bring up this word to ponder because of some of the positive and negative connotations of the term compromise. Look it up in the dictionary, and it appears to be relatively negative. Somehow, we are settling for something less, we are making ourselves vulnerable, and somehow, we are losing. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I talked to some people at a party earlier this week, and the term compromise came up. The consensus of many people there was that compromise is not a win-win situation

Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. That statement was told to me in the fall of 1972 by a Senior Non-commissioned Officer in the United States Army.

Many of us don't just don't have enough fun. That's one reason I am throwing this out into the universe. I know I'm guilty of it myself. I'll be too busy. I have things to do, and drudgery abounds. I get to wash the dishes, have the bathroom to clean, have the laundry to do, and the yard needs to be taken care of. That's no fun. Many of us don't just don't have enough fun.

Sometimes we don’t think we need a plan and there are many times when a spur-of-the-moment thing is very enjoyable. But even though we might do something in the spur of the moment, subconsciously, deep down inside we have a plan. It is usually terrific to have a plan of action when it comes to disaster management planning, business, or family. A plan of action will help you do several things. One is it saves some time.

The Five-Second Answer

2022/04/13

I’ve been pondering what I call the five-second question answer. I remember a point when I was filled with hubris full of myself and knew everything. And people would ask me questions. I would think, man, can’t you go online to look it up? It will take five seconds. I realized I was doing myself and them a severe disservice. I realized that they probably do want an answer to a question, and they don’t know where to find it. So, they are asking the person they think will have the answer. I discovered

It can be something different than what's expected, separate from what is expected, or opposite of what is expected, The word "other" can cover many different things. When I think about others, I usually think about what other things I should be thinking about that I probably am not thinking about.

While learning everything I can about protecting myself and my loved ones from emergencies and disasters, I have concluded that there are three terms we can use that will cover most disasters and protect us. That is time distance and shielding. Time simply means don’t be there at the same time that it, whatever the disaster or emergency is, happening is the timing issue. Distance is having space between you and the event, so it won’t affect you. The farther away you are from the disaster or the

There are three important P's of preparedness that everyone should keep in mind: planning, playing, and persevering. Planning is the key to any successful project. You need a well-thought-out plan to guide you from start to finish. Without a plan, you're likely to get overwhelmed and give up before you even start. Playing is an important part of life.

The Ukraine war is a clear example of how apathy in the west has emboldened a powerful, malicious world leader. What is happening in Eastern Europe today is happening because we allowed it to happen. For decades, western leaders have demonstrated an apathetic response to despots and malevolent world leaders. What does this mean for us here, now, today?
