Appropriate for these times I remember from my fourth grade SRA reader book, the story of the two twin Piccard Brothers. Jean & Auguste Piccard. First Jean a brilliant balloonist broke all kinds of records and invented the first plastic balloon to carry passengers. Jean also believed so fervently that a balloon could carry men to Mars. Now his brother Auguste also created a breakthrough in ballooning with his sperical pressurized gondola that did not required a pressurized suit to ascend to highest of altitudes. Furthermore he broke undersea diving records with his special diving tank to carry aquanauts.
What does this have to do with these times ? Invention that's what. It's what America is all about. Make lemonade. Think about what immediate world needs. What's missing now?
Don't you feel there is a great vacuum in the way we live our lives right now? What a Wow it is to see great ideas come of age.The genius in the micro loans to women in India and other countries.
Silly fun things like YELP.com that tell where some great places are located. Or locally here in Austin, the amazing trailer food phenomenon . Even if something is counter to what you have always thought was right (legal of course), take on the challenge. It doesn't come from sitting around and saying what would make us money. It comes from "thinking around" of what you would like in your life or others lives. Then figure out if it could make money to sustain itself. Bonk. There it is. The simplest ideas are the best as most of us know. First you have to try and that can be pretty uncomfortable.
Recently Michael Kingsley wrote that the greatest generation endured the depression and World War II. And our greatest gift would be to figure out away to pay down the 14 trillion dollar debt. Here we are whining about these times? Hoping a political white knight will lead us to the golden altar of prosperity. Horsepucky. A charismatic loud mouth is not the answer. Instead be a Piccard.
Seize the time. Invent. There's highs in the lows. That's where the highs come from. To make a start send 25 cents in coin to my pay pal account and I will send it to the national treasury. No wait here's a greater challenge take 25 cents in coin and put it into jar in the closet and start building that new savings account or rebuilding it. Who knows it could catch steam and you could start putting in $1.00's and thousands. Hey, I'm just attempting to make a running start at what has always made us great. Pushing out into the uncomfortable and inventing. Again there's the high in the lows.

Get your "Magic On Earth Spectacles" Now ! Only five easy installments
Ladies and gentlemen step right up and get your "Magic on Earth Spectacles". Yes these wonderous, celestial gifted, eye goggles will take your breath to the highest altitude similar to peak of Kilimanjaro. Now I know everyone is asking... "How much do I write a check for ?
What will be on my credit card? Are there 5 easy installments ? " Well yes on the last one.
There are installments. You need to install into your life the possibility to believe. That's #1 installment. And what you want to give to the world that's Number #2. The #3 installment has to do with a constant check that you have your passion stirred up every so often, be authentic, be truthful and keep the fires of your "will and determination" burning. ( A little insight here is to think of something difficult you did in your life and how you came out better on the other side)
Not that you can't have the happy plan. But ladies and gentleman I am being way too verbose here. The #4 you have to start seeing. That means looking. Recognize what the world means to you and not to someone else. And #5 installment will come to you. Because it is all you. You have your own unique path. At some moment on your path all cyclinders of your installments will start smoking and tingle. In that synchronistic moment in sync the " Magic On Earth Spectacles" will appear on your face and you will just start seeing the world through them.
However if you would like to write me a check for One Quadrillion we can get there a lot quicker.
Today I had one of those "MOES" days as I call em'. A client reminded me how well I can communicate irony. And it was ironic that she had to remind me. It threw me on track. Stopped me dead in my tracks. Then I saw the irony. The funny. And bingo-rama I was wearing a pair
"MOES".
So right here and now. I am professing my experience getting my "MOES" on. As I get older I can see that the last quarter of life can be the most magnificent.
What happened to me today was that I caught a glimpse of something "big". Like seeing a bit of a giant ocean liner out of the corner of my eye. In that moment something chilled the hair on the back of my neck and I knew I was on track.
The next big part of the "Magic On Earth Spectacles" is being able to hand them out to others with no strings attached, no network marketing. Just hand them out without even thinking. But that calls for a few more installments I'll get into later. Yes ladies and gentleman the real secret is that "You have everything you need".
Pssst don't tell anybody but a big clue to getting your "MOES " is found in the lyric that Sheryl Crow sings "It's learning to love what you already have."
