Mexican Music – Part II

Saw the same guys again (see my original post on Mexican Music on May 8th, 2009.) They were waiting for the train with me at the very end of the subway platform, talking amongst themselves – there were more of them this time – and checking their instruments.

Once again I was engrossed in what I was reading, but I was not in the dour mood I was last time. The train comes and I’m successful in finding a seat on the crowded subway car. Within seconds the guys start playing that same music, and again I find myself smiling. Just amazing: the transformational power of music. And these guys, just like the last time, are only going through the motions, expressionless, but playing well. Earning a… Continue reading

Help Me

Imagine you’re the proud Father or Mother of the cutest three year old boy who barely talks, and one day as you’re walking through the mall the little darling starts screaming, “Help me, help me,” to anyone that looks in his direction.

My mother related this true story to me the other day about a friend of hers who lived this – not-so-funny to her – true account with her young son. Not-so-funny to her, but absolutely hilarious to me. Maybe it’s the way my mom tells this story, as she imitates a young child’s voice, but whether its her or the story I laugh till I cry when she tells it.

Can you imagine this little kid? He would do it whenever he had the… Continue reading

Mexican Music

I’m standing in the subway heading to mid-town Manhattan. Train is crowded and at a stop I become aware of two short guys wearing cowboy hats, one with a guitar and the other with an accordion get on. I’ve seen this before, these guys work the trains for money. They play about sixty seconds of a song (what I think is Mexican music), they stop and then walk the subway car hat-in-hand asking for money. They then leave the car and move to another at the next stop. They’re self-employed. (smile)

As I continue reading my magazine I notice myself feeling a little annoyed at this. There was a kind of silence in the subway car, as silent as you can get in a subway car, and these

Routine – The Dance

Oh Routine. What am I going to do with you? You make things so mundane, so ordinary, so repetitive and well … so routine. You are the enemy of passion and fun. You are the oppressor of joy.

Oh how rote you are routine?

How repetitive, how boring, how dull?

Where is your spice? Your zest for life?

You are often unannounced and imposed. So full of stealth and so deeply woven into the fabric of my day that often months or years go by and I don’t even see you. I have felt the life ebbing from me before I noticed you.

Why do you imprison me so?

Yet without you I am easily spent

My energy misdirected. My mood anxious

The Practice of Play

Apr 04

If you’ve ever wondered if work had to be … well … work, then you’ll be happy to know that there is scientific evidence and ongoing research that shows the importance of play to our overall well-being, and that paying conscious attention to a diet of play can make work more fun.

There is a TED talk (below) by Stuart Brown on play called “Why Play is Vital – at any age.” Stuart Brown is an accomplished researcher who was led to the study of play through his research of what drove murderers.

This talk by Mr. Brown is relevant to The Practice of Your Life because it adds some scientific rigor to what is an essential practice, the practice of play, to your living a full… Continue reading

You know, I would soooo like to invent a simple formula that would make my life easy. Ok not easy, some easy … more powerful, exciting and fun. James Bond meets Gandhi. Hey! It’s my life to design.

Every now and then I come across, or read about someone who just seems to have it all going on. The Richard Bransons, the Larry Ellisons, the Bill Gates’ and the Barack Obamas et al. Not that I’m holding any of these as the poster child for how to live a great life (except maybe Branson) it’s just that they all are very passionate, successful and very clear about what their lives are about. And that’s my goal. Indeed, isn’t it everyone’s?

Popular culture is all about the quick… Continue reading

The Art of Breaking Bad News

Below was sent to me as a joke. I think it’s brilliantly funny. Brilliant in the way Ernesto breaks bad news. Funny in the response to the news. Enjoy.

At dawn the telephone rings, ‘Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house.’

‘Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?’

‘Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot, he is dead’

‘My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?’

‘Si, Senor, that’s the one.’

‘Damn! That’s a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?’

‘From eating the rotten meat
