I'm one who has come to learn Linux and actually enjoy it, so teaching my kids how to use Linux is definitely a must. I think they could also benefit from a whole lesson in computers and how they work. Of course, this is coming from a guy who pretty much lives on the computer.

10 Principles for Life (Playing the Game)

These principles for life are:

1. You will receive a body
2. You will be presented with lessons
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons
4. A lesson is repeated until learned
5. Learning does not end
6. "There" is no better than "here"
7. Others are only mirrors of you
8. What you make of your life is up to you
9. All your answers lie inside of you
10. You will forget all of this at birth

There are rules to life..... but of course I'm just stating the obvious. It is a game that we all play and one that is either won or lost based off of how its perceived. As we go through life we learn the unspoken rules of the game at the same time we are learning the "general" rules that everyone learned (depending on where you are). We use those rules, the guidance from our parents, the influence from our friends and the world around us to navigate through this maze of a game. Even though we may seem to be lost, we are still in control.

Get Moving

There hasn't been that much blogging from me for awhile, I'll give a quote here or there and possibly a story I found on Digg. Other than that there really hasn't been much to really say what the hell is going on. I guess one of the big things going on right now is the fact that I finally got my plan approved at work. Well what does that really mean and why is it a good thing for me? Well I get to change the business model of the company I work for, planning to make it go from an unprofitable VAR (Value Added Reseller) to a business based off of Managed Services. Other than the possibility of earning more money I'll be acquiring new skills in just about every area of business (Sales, Marketing, Operations,...). So if I decide to stay for a while or move on to start my own place, I'll leave with a lot of skills that are going to benefit me greatly.

My Path

"Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: 'Does this path have a heart?'"

~ Carlos Castaneda, 20th century mystic and Toltec warrior
from The Teachings of Don Juan
