What skill would you like to learn?
On another note, I just made it more easier to subscribe to the blog and get the newsletter. If you like what you see and want more of it, go ahead and subscribe. You won’t regret it.
What is your favorite drink?
It has to be lemonade or a variant of it, i.e., strawberry lemonade. It’s just the perfect drink with enough sweet and tart flavor. This especially goes great on a summer day.
I have no idea when I developed this affinity for lemonade by the way. This is just something that I realized.

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
Yes. So much so that I joined the local political club.
Being patriotic means having a love for your country. That entails a desire to see it become better. In my country, the United States, the founding principles are what made it great.
Now there were mistakes made along the way. But it doesn’t erase the the good that this country has brought to its citizens and to the rest of the world.
It truly is a country blessed by God.

If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
Intentionally Vague; Specifically Imprecise
That’s the working title inspired by a conversation I had tonight actually. I’ll expound more at a future time. Remind me.
If we want to be successful, we need to train our powers of observation, to cultivate that attitude of mind of being constantly on the look-out for the unexpected and make a habit of examining every clue that chance presents. We can’t control the variance. We can’t control what happens. But we can control our attention and how we choose to deploy it.

What’s your favorite candy?
20 years ago, I would have said Snickers. Now i consider my taste buds to be more refined. I’ll have to go with white chocolate peanut M&M’s. They are so sweet and chocolatey <insert gif of Homer Simpson drooling. /> And then you add the peanut for crunch and texture, you might have the perfect candy.
As I write this let’s put Twix chocolate bars as a distant second.
Do you need a break? From what?
These daily prompts! Just kidding.
I don’t think I need a break from anything per se. I need to be more focused and achieve my goals. In other words, I need to be more consistent towards achievement. So it’s more a break from the negative mindset and the shift towards the achievement mindset.
There we go. That sounds much better.
The most important invention in your lifetime is…
I would’ve used an old cliche and said “sliced bread”. But nowadays there’s artificial intelligence (AI) especially with the advent of ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is making AI accesible to the general population. I’ve seen a couple of my friends utilize it with great results. One friend of mine used it to write a book! Another one used to create trivia questions based on certain criteria that he stipulated.
I’m excited to see how humanity uses AI as it becomes more and more ubiquitous. This is a great example of “creative destruction”.
There’s a certain fear that comes with new technology, but it all depends on who is in a position of authority or cultural leadership when it comes to its application. If wicked people are in charge then AI will be used in an ungodly fashion. If righteous people are in charge then the technology will be used for good.
How does death change your perspective?
Well, i won’t get too spiritually deep, although, it has an impact on my worldview. I’ll say this to be brief, it makes realize that time is not to be wasted. Procrastination is the enemy. Therefore I have to be intentional with my time because there’s not much of it left.
Unless the Master comes back in my lifetime then there’s a time to die. But thank God that He has a plan and it’s time to execute that plan before time is up.
