I just published a new article on LinkedIn.
It begins:
“It’s 2 a.m., my usual rising time. My wife and children are all fast asleep. The house is silent, lit only by an occasional nightlight. I quietly slip out of bed, and make my way down the stairs to my home office. I flip open my laptop, the only source of light in the room, and settle before it in my armchair. I have no particular purpose or intention at that time. I am just there, in quiet stillness, allowing my still, peaceful, nighttime awareness to float where it may.
“This is the time when I naturally reflect upon the status of my life, both business and personal. I feel no need to make decisions or come up with conclusions about anything. I am just there, as my silent thoughts naturally sort themselves out. It is an effortless time. I do not try to direct my intention or focus my thoughts. In their own time, insights or worthwhile, new perspectives arise, as if almost by themselves. I may jot down a word or sentence here or there, just as a reminder for later reference. These reminders need not be complete concepts. In fact, they probably should not be complete concepts. They just serve as reminders that I can come back to later during the busy times of day to deal with in an active way”…

HuffingtonPost.com just published another of my latest articles.
It begins:
“Linguistics, the study of language, has its origins in something far deeper, far more innate and primordial than most scholars recognize. The essence of language is rooted in the very essence of life. The sounds that birth existence and life are the same root sounds that are the essence of all language. By living in harmony with those root sounds, we cultivate a life in harmony with our very essence and with all of nature. The information will be brought out here with the same sequentiality that is common to every human being on earth, starting at the beginning with Mama”…

Entrepreneur.com just published one of my latest articles. An excerpt:
“Conceptual thinking is a process that simply explores and ponders, just to see if something may precipitate out. It creates a mindset that perpetuates indefinitely and is completely abstract. It doesn’t look for anything concrete; it’s freeform thinking.”

Entrepreneur.com just published another one of my new articles. It begins:
“A dear friend got up on stage with me once to address the group. His speech was so dry and stilted that, in short order, the whole audience was squirming in their seats, uncomfortably waiting for him to end. I was aware he had a lot of material to convey, so I knew I had to do something. I took a chance. In a friendly, jovial and joking way, I loudly blurted out, “Boring!” The whole audience burst out laughing, as did my friend. It shifted the whole room, and he started to talk from a more natural and comfortable place. Fortunately, it was a great success”…

I just published a new article on Medium.com. It begins:
“Like many people, I was always a reflective type. I liked to think deeply about all matters of life. Yet as the years go by, I’ve noticed the ever-changing form the reflections have taken. When I was young, my reflections had a slightly sharper tone. It’s not that the content of the thoughts have changed much, but rather my relationship with those thoughts has softened. There is a greater appreciation for the delicacy of the nature of things. This includes the delicacy of those people I know and those I don’t know, those with whom I have a close personal relationship and those I do not. When it comes to conflict, it just feels natural to let it go and let bygones be bygones. What difference does it really make?”…

Entrepreneur.com just published one of my new articles. It begins:
“Although the word ego often carries a negative connotation – as in egocentric or egotistical – in actuality, the ego has both positive and negative aspects.
“From the positive perspective, ego simply means a solid, healthy and strong sense of self. Ego in this regard is essential in business. To be a powerful force in business means the individual has to be solid and self-reliant. Though a big ego is usually considered to be a negative trait, in fact, the bigger the ego, the better.”
