While I’ve often done my own thing, I hardly ever find time to complain about the system and its fairness.
The specific incident that taught that lesson requires a bit of a setup, so you’ll have to indulge me…
I’m not sure when it happened – perhaps covering anatomy within biology, but at some point in my youth, we explored the eye’s blind spot.
And it’s an interesting realization – that the mind will “fill in” what one can’t see – in order to make the picture complete.
And lately I’ve been considering the similar effect in the social world.
Are there spots that you can’t “see”?

My vices are few, and I think they relate to such good experiences that I can’t help but to have fallen in love – with Chocolate, Gaming, and the Shower… (I know, not what you might expect to see following the word vice, but they work for me)
The last of these because of the insights I find letting the water splash over me.
[you're not the only one .. I do some of my best thinking in the shower ... ed.]

Come along and you might find something to think more on…

I continue to enjoy books by Malcolm Gladwell. The latest I’ve read (or more precisely heard) being “Outliers: The Story of Success“. Before I had a chance to get this material first hand though, I listened to a friend review the book for a networking group. And as with Blink, I found a copy in the books-on-CD section of the library – read by Gladwell. And so once again I enjoyed listening to the book, though my familiarity with the material made the experience seem odd.
Normally one might get a recommendation with a few words, or have only a brief introduction to the topic. But as I progressed through the book I had the funny feeling that I had actually read that part of the book before;-) My good friend (Jim) had done such a thorough job of covering the material that the examples and imagery was already complete in my mind – and here I was listening to it again.
Both events proved enjoyable and I see more of what it takes to succeed…
