2013 RESOLUTION

Better late than never! Happy New Year! It feels like a long hiatus. I apologize for not stimulating your curiosity earlier. Trust me, I've never rested. It's been one project after another. It's gradually coming to an end (two more major ones to go) then I'll be free to start another life-long project! Didn't you know, that the end of one project is always the beginning of another? Otherwise, you might as well forget about living. Yes indeed, another EXCITING one. 

I bet you think I'm crazy...I'm not. I guess some of us were created like so. I earnestly blame my mother, Mama, geez!!! She passed on that gene? Did you say gene? Being a workaholic is genetic too? Oh yes! Have you heard about epigenetics? Well, you might think it's a new concept but it's not! Remember the giraffe in Darwinian evolutionary theory? Yeah, the environment can mutate genes so that the giraffe just grew longer neck to access leaves from skyrocketing trees. So, yes - it is my workaholic mother's fault, who literally created a photocopy of herself - MOI oh MOI!

OK, enough of that crap. I have settled for an amazing resolution for 2013 - thanks to my colleague Adam. In fact, it is so FASCINATING that I MUST share it with you. It's called Peter's Law. The Gweep dot Net call it,

The Creed of the Sociopathic Obsessive Compulsive

But I think the world of it because nothing has fully described my journey in life other than Peter's Law. I call it resilience, high achievers and result oriented - especially when you live in a society characterized by "cut-throat" discrimination, racism, oppression and you know the rest! It's a blessing to know that Peter H. Diamendis exists on planet earth. Go ahead and indulge. It will do us all good in making the world a better place. Yeah, to hell with Murphy Law!

1. If anything can go wrong, Fix it! (To hell with Murphy!)
2. When given a choice -- Take both!
3. Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
4. Start at the top and work your way up.
5. Do it by the book...but be the author!
6. When forced to compromise, ask for more.
7. If you can't beat them, join them, and then beat them.
8. If it's worth doing, it's got to be done right now.
9. If you can't win, change the rules.
10. If you can't change the rules, ignore them.
11. When faced without a challenge, make one.
12. "No" simply means begin again at the next highest level.
13. Don't walk when you can run.
14. Bureaucracy is a challenge to the be conquered with a righteous attitude, an intolerance for stupidity, and bulldozer when necessary.
15. When in doubt: THINK!
16. Patience is a virtue but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
17. The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
18. The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - WISH YOU PROSPERITY AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL OF 2013 AND BEYOND!!!
