		Unchanging
		Top Line
62	10/11/98	Fifth Line Aim high.  Do not settle for anything second-best or mediocre.  If you sincerely want the best, you will get it.
		Fourth Line
62 31	10/11/98 9/19/02	Third Line If you are to succeed, you must act in your own best interests. This will involve letting go of relationships which, although familiar, are no longer right for you.   However difficult this is, you must be firm.  You need to pave the way for meeting people with whom you can have relationships of an altogether higher quality.
		Second Line
62 45 31	10/11/98 4/11/02 9/19/02	Bottom line You need a wider view point.  Listen to the views of others and be open to the possibility of learning something new.  Use your discrimination to decide what you can accept and what you must reject

Follow your conscience.  Set yourself the highest standards.  Make sure that what you are aiming for will truly enhance your life.  Be careful about who you choose to associate with.  You can not afford to waste your time.  There is so much that is worthwhile to be accomplished.  Be patient if things do not seem to be moving as quickly as you would like.  Adapt to the way things are rather than struggling to make them as you would like them to be.  This will only exhaust you.   Be open-minded and ready to learn from others.  Outstanding success is indicated here but only if you are prepare to explore new possibilities.  You cannot pursue a new path if at the same time you are trying to follow the old, familiar ways.   The means you must overcome your prejudices an adopt a more flexible approach to situations and to people.  Widen your outlook and you will discover that the world is your oyster.

Question: how should I approach building a relationship with New York

#17 Following moving to #62 - attention to detail

Tues February 2, 1999 - Update

When I first began working with New York it was clear it was going to be difficult.  After almost four months of trying my estimation is that we've made some headway on the personal front and no headway at all on the issue of access and opportunity.  The major breakthrough has come in two areas.  The first was being able to teach the HC course.  It's of no real value but it gives us an opportunity to become known and to get our faces in front of people.  The second significance really lies with SC.  Having someone in the New York office on a daily basis helps significantly.

New York never actually amounted to a hill of beans it kept me occupied and focused on things without ever leading to anything useful or productive

Question: Outcome of co-authoring a book with Glen

#17 Following moving to #45 Assembling

Couple of things are striking me.  One is that I don't really know Glen all that well and that seems to be part of what is positive in this reading.  The fact that he might have divergent view points.  It also might say that his choice of Wiley since they are unknown to me might be more in alignment with the fates than Jim would be.

September 19,2000.Update - We haven't accomplished anything yet we're more closely circling the wagons.  I'm sendiing him stuff that I write as I get it written.  We met in Colorado over labor day

Question: outlook for full time employment at WM 

#17 going to 31

This one never materialized.  What's interesting over the years is that I periodically throw a resume their way and I never hear anything back.  It's become something of a game.
