The important thing is to decide, keep moving, and be ready to correct course.

I wanted so badly to attend but apparently it's a very exclusive event and tickets cost several thousand dollars. They've already closed registration for 2008. I've been addicted to Ted.com since then and have been absorbed with it's speakers. <BR/><BR/>But... I get to go an amazing conference in September. I'm going to Washington D.C. for the Atheist Alliance Convention. There will be some of the same speakers that I've seen on TED (Richard Dawkins and Dan Dennett). <BR/><BR/>Glad I alerted you to Ted. And... with your recommendation, I've requested "Kinky Boots" from netflix. :-)Naughti Biscottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-83416958770750792982007-07-10T13:31:00.000-07:002007-07-10T13:31:00.000-07:00That is what make some people great!Like you said ...That is what make some people great!<BR/>Like you said mate, make a decision even if it is wrong!<BR/><BR/>I think most people don't what to be seen as failing.....Whitesnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681488364720396274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-73117844627524692242007-07-10T13:04:00.000-07:002007-07-10T13:04:00.000-07:00I watched a video on ted.com that addressed the li...I watched a video on ted.com that addressed the link between creativity and the ability to make decisions. He suggested that all of it stemmed from a fear of failure. This particular speaker (and I can't remember his name) but he suggested that our education system teaches the creativity out of our children. We teach them only those skills that can result in employment (the top being math and language) and in some schools, completely ignore things like art and dance. We then rate them on test scores that translate to just how "marketable" that person will be. So, oftentimes we punish creatively gifted students with poor academic scores. Hence, we have produced indecisive people who are afraid to make mistakes. The most creative people are those that are unafraid of failure. A new idea will come along if this particular one fails. <BR/><BR/>I'm not surprised that your are decisive. You're a pretty creative person. And... I would say that the pattern of your blog is definately "serpentine".<BR/><BR/>See, this is why I haven't been posting comments lately. I've read over this several times and EVEN I can't understand what it is I'm saying. Look, the dude on TED said it much better.Naughti Biscottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-24533857800537893322007-07-10T12:28:00.000-07:002007-07-10T12:28:00.000-07:00Bob & weave, bob & weave.Story of my life!However,...Bob & weave, bob & weave.<BR/>Story of my life!<BR/><BR/>However, no one could ever accuse me of being indecisive.<BR/>No, I'm good at making decisions and sticking with them.<BR/>Sometimes, to my detriment.<BR/><BR/>Just don't ask me to choose a restaurant.

At least that's what I've been told. I can't decide whether it's the truth.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you had a very nice 4th of July. I didn't do any fireworks myself. Luckily, there's a country club a couple miles behind by house that does a very impressive display every year.

Trouble is, I've made so many truly awful choices that the thought of making another one is what holds me back from making any decision at all.
