This is the first of a series of blog posts that will be entirely random and will definitely seem twisted and perhaps perverse for the uninitiated or those without a lot of life experience. However if you look at it from the perspective of ” if I knew then (say age 16) what I know now, what would I do?” Or the reverse, ” What would I be doing or have at 16 — and maybe some things might be better left undone, or done differently and others just pushed to the limit- as in pedal to the metal.” . It’s about understanding the life processes and perspective of not just yourself but others and how to understand them and how to deal with those people (as well as yourself) appropriately.
Hell Frozen Over
I personally have known Todd for over year and worked with him off and on- he’s definitely my go-to guy for all things tech but then he’s also a really great source of 411 on esoteric and downright crazy information. Much of what I am relaying to you in these posts are from direct dictation from Todd himself about a variety of questions, situations, proposed project or just how to deal with people, places and things in general and some are distinctly specific. So bear with me if the language doesn’t quite sound like me–because it’s not “me (Stevie @LA-Story) but it’s the Rules of Todd for lack of a better title. That’s what these posts will be .
Here’s something that he learned this weekend at a seminar:
If you think you can, you’re right.
If you think you can’t, you’re right.
What’s the difference?
Your mindset about the situation as well as how you will approach the solution. Negative attitudes give you negative results. Positive attitudes generally return positive results. It’s that easy– but most never get that far because the positive results take longer to achieve than the negative results– i.e., karma (it really does suck along with gravity.)
Explanation of Todd:
Todd is a real guy who has multiple combat tours with the US military (That isn’t being redundant. It’s being precise). He has the privilege of being a long-term direct student of leaders of two of the oldest martial arts systems being taught. Todd is one of those “all purpose mechanics” where someone is always showing up on his doorstep with a mess or situation that seems to have no solution and Todd helps them find the appropriate (and fitting) resolution. He’s definitely a “go-to” guy for virtually any situation or question. Todd has a solution-based perspective that might not be the way you want it to turn out for *you*, but the one that will give you the best result or ways to apply it to your own situation. In other words, it’s all in the application. So expect to see him regularly.
