This particular entry was in a Journal (I've confessed to you before about my paper and pen combined fetish) that I called my transformation journal. Well, I only have about 3 8x10 pages filled in. Short transformation! But in the first entry dated 09.18.04 it said: "I have decided to leave my job at the first of the year". I did tender my resignation in April of 2005. It took until December to leave.
What I was happy to find is this--I wished I had referenced where I pulled this from. And...it is funny to find this, for I was looking for the book. Nevertheless--I'll write for you what I have. I think that it is important, and I hope that you'll find it inspirational or at least thought provoking.
How can you best express you?
The first test is knowing what you want, knowing your abilities and capacities and recognizing the difference between the two.
The second test is knowing what drives you, knowing what gives you satisfaction, and knowing the difference between the two.
The third test is knowing what your values and priorities are, knowing what the values and priorities of your organization are and measuring the difference between the two.
The fourth test is having measured the differences between what you want and what you are able to do, and between what drives you and what satisfies you, and between what your values are and what the organization's values are, are you able and willing to overcome those differences?
For me, I did that and said that the organization's values and mine were too far apart (not that the organization was doing anything wrong, but the NEW focus was not what I enjoyed doing). Anyway, I wanted to share these with you as well as put them someplace I can access them. As soon as I find my book, I'll ascribe the correct credit for these words, and regret that I'm currently unable to do so.

This market is becoming more and more disconnected with reality IMO
Short-term and intraday trading is taking on the characteristcs of 'casino' action -
-->either whippy back and forth trading (where the house usually wins) - or manic depressive behavior (where everyone either wildly piles into a few hot stocks or else blindly runs for cover shorting anything that breathes 'weakness')
Companies which are near bankrupt or severaly depressed - are trading as if nothing is happening to them - and their future is bright.
Bankruptcy - is now called 'recapitalization'
Debt is an asset
Trillions of losses off book - are not 'real'
Grains are now currencies.
Meanwhile oil goes higher and higher - 1/2 blaming speculators - the other 1/2 calling peak oil
.. and the central banks just keep feeding in money and feeding in money
I'm optimistic we get some resolution to all this soon.. but doubts are beginning to emerge...
This market is getting more and more dangerous IMHO
Be careful out there...
They should let the Euro trade over 1.60
That would create a 'blow off' in the commodities...
..it'd be a 'nice' distraction and serve the dual purpose of keeping the indices afloat...
after that Europe and Japan would probably intervene...
nice
I'm still delirious at the prices for commodities. At some point in time I'm going to have to learn how to set my disbelief by the wayside.
