While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to decision-making, if you ask the internet, ChatGPT, or other forms of AI, they will want you to believe that decision-making is a complicated, complex, multifaceted process.
I’m not saying decisions are easy. All I’m saying is it doesn’t have to be this hard.
Good and bad
Between a bad and a good decision is no difference. They both feel equally right at the right time.
With hindsight we convince ourselves, and others, that every bad decision was caused by something bad in turn. But when we pay attention to the road ahead, we accept that we will never know what’s up around the bend or behind a new horizon.
Therefore, relax. Had you ever made a bad decision on your journey between birth and death before, you wouldn’t be here.
Take a deep breath and let’s dive right in.
The good news
The good news is that we can get better at our decisions. All it takes is more bad decisions. If you make enough bad decisions, it is inevitable that some good decisions will slip through which isn’t known to ever have failed yet.
Learn from mistakes
Wrong decisions are an inevitable part of the get-it-right process. Remember you learned to walk by falling.
Dwelling on the falls will only wear you out in the long run.
Big vs small
All decisions are not the same. On the contrary, the vital few are a few and far between, and the majority of decisions are small and unimportant.
If that reminds you of the Pareto principle which states that the vital few outcomes will always come from a few causes, great! If not, “Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections, and you can keep your sterile truths for yourself” (Vilfredo Pareto).
What
Your vital few outcomes will always come from a vital few decisions.
These are your BIG decisions from atop the pyramid.
BIG decisions are about the WHAT and about the long term (as opposed to the cursed HOW and the short term).
Unless you want to start with the HOW decisions at the bottom of the pyramid, let’s begin with your WHAT decisions first.
Know what you want
For that it helps knowing that you’ve responded to your most pressing wants since before you were born. And you respond as we speak — whether you know it, are aware of it, or like it, or not.
In other words, to get your BIG decisions made, all you must do is figure out your most pressing wants for the later part of your journey. Not because it will be later, but because the only way to influence your later is by your decisions now.
When you know WHAT you want, many HOW down the road are already decided before they show up.
What YOU want
What YOU want is the BIGgest decision atop the pyramid.
Everything you want to imagine is on a permanent buffet free for the taking far beyond anything you can imagine.
It’s permanent because it’s got nothing to do with whether you and me exist or not.
What’s temporary is your existence, hence your decisions. You only exist once and there’s no freedom in whether you decide or not. Every time you don’t decide, you’ve already made a decision anyway. You can ask why of course, because that’s the beauty of no freedom.
This explains, among other things, why you’ve decided your most pressing wants since before you were born, and why you’ve been doing it ever since, 100% of the time.
At the risk of repetition, you are not free to not decide, and that’s whether you love it, know it, or are aware of it, or not. There’s nothing you can do about it, or you wouldn’t be here.
What YOU want: Part 2
You may want to…
Own it all (where would you put it?)
Know it all (knowing there’s always more to know)
Have everything money can buy
Be somebody else (they’ve got to walk in their own shoes)
Be certain in an uncertain world
Be free
Make the world a better place
Make you a better you

Nobody said it would be easy. But it doesn’t have to be this hard.
All you’ve got to do is decide once and for all.
The common mistake
The common mistake word-users make with decisions is deciding them over and over again. If that’s you, then your decision-making process looks like the one on the right.
I don’t know you. I don’t know how long it will last. But the graph on the right will wear you out in the long run.
Freedom
There is a space between the demand for a decision and your response. In this space you are free to decide your decision. That is where your freedom is.
Feel
To take advantage of your freedom, trust your feelings.
Your feelings decide what you go after and what you avoid. That’s because when we must decide between feelings and logic, feelings almost always win.
Heart
To be free, also embrace your heart.
“Where is fancy bred… in the heart or in the head?” – Shakespeare
What about in crisis mode?
Is a fresh crisis brewing? Good!
You have survived every crisis to-date, with a 100% success rate to boot, or you wouldn’t be reading this.
In crisis mode – with your back against the wall – you don’t decide based on what you know. In a crisis, you decide based on what you re-member only.
The best thing about crises is they are devastating only if you believe they will last forever and you know from personal experience they never do.
Why wait for a next crisis? You can focus on a small sphere and achieve a 100% success rate anytime. If that’s what you want.
Seek advice
When faced with a difficult decision, don’t be afraid to seek advice from friends within and without your family, but be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt. That said, even the internet can offer fresh perspectives you may have overlooked.
Most important
When it’s decision time, it’s all up to you. No other word and no other person can decide for you.
At decision time there’s no candle in the window. You’ve got to find your own way home.
Takeaway
Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of this decision-making guide for those who couldn’t decide, a couple of minutes ago whether they wanted to read this article or not.
With words I can help, after all that’s what im here for, but the decision of what you do with them is all up to you.
Whether you’ve gained any useful insights or are now even more confused than before, remember that no other word nor other person can make decisions for you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. The most important is to have fun along the way.
There’s more
To get even better a decision-making, consider taking part in my seminar that will also be offered as an online webinar in the not too-distant future.
Many word-users are still in doubt about what they are.
The perfect storm
It seems the perfect storm is upon us.
“Nothing endures but change. Change alone is unchanging.”– Heraclitus
Sure, but right now things are changing faster than ever before and artificial intelligence is just another spike in the wheel of change that’s turning at incredible speed as we speak.
Perfectly unprepared in their abilities to respond, an ever-increasing number of word-users don’t have a clue of what the changes are, let alone how to keep up with them.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, not the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”– Charles Darwin
All this for a simple reason.
Word-users in large numbers don’t remember where their ability to respond comes from.
Ashes to ashes
“Ashes to ashes” and alternatively “dust to dust” are the most successful and longest-lasting lies ever repeated, to ensure all listeners believe it, even the liars themselves, with no end in sight.
Once a lie is a habit, everybody knows what that means.
You can’t tell the difference between what is and what is not.
If that’s you
If you can’t tell the difference between the lie and what is, you might take comfort in knowing that you are energy, fire, air, earth, and water.
By stating what is (as opposed to a lie), my days as a member of the “Popular Word-Users Club” are numbered. I know and accept it as the price to pay for stating what is contrary to lies.
As you might guess, I don’t care much for popular belief for it was adopted long ago with no thought and that’s where lies got us.
I don’t mean the world, as beautiful as ever. I mean what we’re doing to it. And to each other.
“There is a war between the rich and poor. There is a war betweenthe man and the woman. There is a war between the left and right. There is a war between the black and white. There is a war between the odd and the even. There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn’t.” – Leonard Cohen
“Currently, man is waging war against nature. If he wins, he is lost.” – Hubert Reeves
The subject matter is quite well-known.
Energy
Everything being energy it’s only natural that our planet has been created by the energy of the sun transformed into the four elements that created our planet — the fire, air, earth, and water.
Everything after that, also known as evolution, is also the work of fire, air, earth, and water.
With the exception of WORDS, but that’s a different story entirely that I’ll get around to telling another day.
You
That means you are energy, fire, air, earth, and water, too.
Among other things, it means that you are intelligent.
Intelligence
Where do you think your intelligence comes from?
You had the intelligence to make yourself from scratch when you were still just a single cell that split itself in two. Despite that, do you think your intelligence comes from books or from what you learned at school?
Or do you think your intelligence is in your head and can be measured?
When I was just a child, many moons ago, I thought so too.
I thought my intelligence was in my head in the same way as music was in the radio. So I took my mum’s knitting needles and stuck them into my family’s then-modern radio. Convinced that there was a tiny symphony orchestra inside that tiny radio, I believed my innovative use of my mum’s knitting needles would sooner or later cause someone to screech “Stop it! It hurts!”
I didn’t.
In the meantime, I learned why that is.
Takeaway
Your intelligence is the intelligence of the energy in the fire, air, earth, and water in you, yet it’s not within you. On the contrary, it’s without you and cannot be measured.
Intelligence is infinite.
And so are you.
“If you make friends with yourself, you will never be alone.” – Maxwell Maltz
All stories — be it the story of how it all began, the story of you, or the story of anything else — have one thing in common.
They are best understood by the simple formula of “Stimulus, Response”.
“Stimulus=Response” is never-ending.
That’s because the universe is energy which responds to itself.
You and your work-life balance are no exception.
You respond
Like everything else you have a word for, information is stimulus to which you respond.
You respond to information within you and without you, at the same time.
Information from within you may include your blood flowing, your heart beating, or your lungs breathing. Much of the time you’re not even aware, but had you failed to respond to every exhale with an inhale within minutes, you wouldn’t be here.
Information from without you is identical, everything you have a word for.
Many word-users don’t like to admit that we respond to words that may include things such as quiet, news, fake news, stories that happened, stories that didn’t happen, words that happened, and words that didn’t happen, to name a few.
Ignorance isn’t a choice
You can be ignorant any time. The same is true for any word-user. That’s because ignorance isn’t a choice. Ignorance is a decision.
When you decide to ignore the fact you’re in a constant state of ”Information=Response”…
…means you’re missing an essential ingredient to your work-life balance.
Because the results you achieve on your journey depend entirely on your ability to respond to information, your ability to respond is the bottleneck on your journey so to speak.
All of your other abilities together — of which there are over 500 in total, if you trust the dictionary, which I don’t recommend — have only one purpose, to serve your ability to respond.
Your ability to respond to information is on top of the totem pole.
When you increase your ability to respond, all of your other abilities follow suit, meaning they also increase, if you’re lucky at the same time.
Information
Information can be measured, they want us to believe.
I don’t know about you, but I believe that all the truths on our planet add up to one big lie
In the unlikely event you’re not familiar with bytes, we the people operate on words — letterally made of letters as opposed to literally made of liters, but the machines operate on qubits — a basic unit of quantum information made of strings of 1 and 0 that can be both 0 and 1 at the same time — dubbed “Spooky action at a distance” by Albert Einstein.
These qubits of information are stored in machine units that go by the name of bytes.
Should you wonder what all of this means, as I did only to discover that if 1 gigabyte is the size of Earth, then an exabyte is the size of the Sun.
The Sun is 1,287,000 times bigger than the Earth
Those who want you to believe that information can be measured say that billions of people rely on more than 2.5 exabytes of information generated every day and that by 2025, that number is expected to climb to 463 exabytes of daily information.
They’re also proclaiming that all of this information will need somewhere to go.
It better not be you
It better not be you because you’re obviously unable to respond to daily exabytes of information today.
It’s not just about you of course. We’re all in this daily information avalanche together.
Do you think you can respond to even more information tomorrow, and if so, how does thinking such thoughts work for you and your work-life balance?
Do you believe more information than you can handle is a good passenger to have on your ship? Or do you think it will wear you out in the long run?
Who is putting on who?
Is it the people who want you to believe that information can be measured?
Or is it you who believe it?
Who is putting on who?
Relax
It doesn’t matter.
Your ability to respond to information is on top of the totem pole.
When you increase your ability to respond to information, all of your other abilities follow suit.
Your ability to respond, no other ability even comes close.
I don’t remember exactly the first time I’ve heard it said that in the beginning is the word.
I was young, Everybody older than me knew about it but didn’t seem to care. When I asked “What does it mean?” the word-users around me yadda-yadded as usual but offered no answer
Many beginnings have gone under the bridge of tradition since, but it’s still only the young ones that ask “What does in the beginning is the word mean?” The grownup still do their yadda-yadda while conveniently forgetting they’ve asked that same question when they were young themselves.
You
After a bunch of brainless cells — how did they know without a day at school? — made you from scratch, you learned to be born, to walk, to word, and finally to ask why.
During your why-days that drove everybody around you crazy, you had no idea that in the beginning is the word. That’s not something the parents say to their children after they have only just learned their first words
And when you asked what happened just before the word during your school days, nobody told you because the story of words isn’t told at school. The school boards continue to be run by word-users that read only one book, and the subject matter of religion is rather well-known.
Trying to add 1+1 together, I concluded there was no beginning before words. With beginning a word, how could it have happened?
The word
It’s rumored that in the beginning is the word was written down 1711 years ago, presumably on paper that in turn had been invented 1918 years ago.
1711 years ago, in the beginning is the word was written in words other than English because Modern English words got invented only 1261 later, 473 years ago.
Be it as it may, “there is magic in every beginning” said Hermann Hesse some 123 years ago. I can but speculate it was this type of magic when in the beginning is the word was recorded 1711 years ago.
Our ancestors knew
When 1711 years ago, our ancestors wrote for everything that could read to clearly see that in the beginning is the word, they knew beyond the shadow of a doubt exactly what they were talking about.
1711 years later, we’ve still only just begun to rediscover that in the beginning of everything is, in fact, a word.
Everything you can think of — a word.
Everything you have a word for — a word.
Everything you know — a word.
Everything you respond to — a word.
Everything you respond with — a word.
It’s not just about you of course.
We’re all in this together.
Call it a dream, it makes no difference,
2016
Back in 2016, I rediscovered that everything is a word and have since written books about it.
Imagine that!
When I don’t research and write my books, I have a habit of asking my fellow word-users what difference it would make if they thought about their words as much as they thought about their thoughts.
How much thinking would it save them?
How many decisions would already be made?
I’ll work till I fall doing what I do best only for the sensation while doing it till I can do it no more.
Almost no one is interested and most of them turn their backs on me.
I meanwhile clearly know it’s because while everybody has heard that in the beginning is the word, nobody knows what it means, and using words makes it a hard message to get across.
“What a word is, a sentence cannot say.”– Ludwig Wittgenstein “Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself. Impossible. Confusing. Frustrating.” – Patrick Rothfuss
At the risk of repeating myself
I recognize the treasure I have in front of me.
Now I am left for what according to some of my friends has been written in the stars long ago, that I’m strong enough to get the job done, and that I will not rest for there’s never been anything like it.
To get the job done, my last Limitless Opportunities seminar has only just ended and the next is already in preparation.
8 hours in total, spread over 4 days in November 2023.
The available seats will be limited so I have enough time to dedicate to each participant, to ensure it’ll be like personal coaching rather than a seminar.
When you change how you look at words, you change
To understand words and how it all begins isn’t easy. It doesn’t happen by accident.
That said, what can be grasped immediately is not always the greatest of qualities. After all, all that glitters…but you know that stuff.
My seminars are for word-users who know you cannot learn less.
Well, different things are said about you depending on what is saying them.
Your smart phone says
“You the second-person pronoun.” – Wikipedia “You can refer to one or more people and is used as the subject of a verb or the object of a verb or preposition.” – Collins Dictionary “You the one or ones being addressed.” – The Merriam-Webster Dictionary “You the person or people being spoken or written to.” – The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary “You the dative and accusative plural of þu.” – Etymology Online “You About 25’270’000’000 results (0.43 seconds).” – Google “You I am ChatGPT, an AI language model created by OpenAI.” – chat.openai.com
I say
“You is an English word.”
“You is what English-speaking word-users use to describe you.”
Nothing happens
Nothing happens until it is believed, and nothing is believed until it is true.
It’s not just about you.
All of these are true:
Whether you believe your smart phone or me doesn’t make a difference to me.
It also doesn’t change you.
It only changes how you look at you.
That’s how the cards are dealt.
What to believe is a question of character and personal preference, to each their own.
There’s nothing new about it. It’s been that way since the beginning of words.
You = Word
That you is a word can be denied only by confirming it.
You cannot use you without using it.
You are, do, and have.
What you are, do, and have are different stories, not different yous.
This post is about what you are, so let’s forget about what you do and what you have for now.
You are
Different things are said about what you are depending on what is saying them.
Ashes to ashes
Word-users that read only one book say you are ashes to ashes dust to dust.
Why do they lie? Well, the subject matter is quite well-known.
The one book these word-users read is designed to instill fear, so it’s only natural that those that believe in fear should instill fear too.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust is designed to make you believe that’s where and how you began and where and how you’ll end. At the risk of repeating myself, the subject matter is quite well-known.
The origin of humanity
The author of THE ORIGIN OF HUMANITY, I say you are made of the same elements that the planet is made of. Because there are no other elements to be found anywhere.
Naturally, so is everything that follows evolution.
Naturally, that includes you.
A closer look reveals you are 70% water, 30% fire-air-earth, and 100% cells.
The numbers don’t add up. Don’t worry, they will when they come together over you.
70%
Like your ancestor, your body weight is 70% water.
Like our ancestor, you’re Nature’s child.
Like our ancestor, you’re an animal with words.
Unless the first that spoke the first (word) was a butterfly, a plant, a tree, a mountain, a lake, or something yet to be discovered.
Water
Water is infinite wisdom. Some call it intelligence beyond words. The same thing. “Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?”– Marcel Marceau Water has the perfect memory, always finds back to itself, and cannot be fooled, created, or destroyed. It responds to being observed before being observed, which means every decision a word-user can make, water has already made it. Water buffers the fluctuations in our planet’s temperature and separates the oceans below from the skies above.
Water to water
Forget the fearmongers.
Forget the ashes to ashes dust to dust bullpoop.
You are 70% water
70% of you is taken care of ahead of time.
Permanently.
It’s a circle game.
Don’t worry
Die happy.
Now or later, there is nothing to be feared.
In the meantime, to keep your inner mounting flame burning takes air.
Make sure you keep breathing.
Thank you for reading. I hope you had a good time. See you again soon.
PS. Like all my posts, today’s contains no true or truth. The only thing you find here is what you’re looking at — words. What you make of them is a different story entirely over which I have no control.
Hello word-user, I know that for us it’s tempting to believe that we are in control.
And to assume that with 20 years or more of school under our belts, we are not easy to fool.
Not by a priest, a politician, or a prankster anyway.
Other word-users might get bamboozled by a cheater or a con artist, but not us.
The contrary is true.
No one fools you more than the words you use.
We are easy to fool
Yup, we don’t fool each other.
We fool ourselves by the words we use.
Have you ever been fooled by fake news?
If you don’t recognize fake news, they are words.
If you’ve ever been fooled by fake news, then you know you’ve been conned by a con artist’s words.
In this case, it concerns a word-master that used to be the prez of a country that once was mine.
Emotional reactions
If you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you, you lose.
You lose because if words control you, that means everyone else can control you.
And everybody knows, you can’t win with a losing hand.
Mirror mirror on the wall
When you look in the mirror . . .
. . . do you see what others see? Or is your reflection like Narcissus’, far less (or far more) attractive than what others see when they look at you?
You may assume that you are so good and so useful that anyone who doesn’t see that is confused or misguided.
For all I know you may feel like a hypocrite, a trickster or an unseen genius…
These are all forms of self-delusion.
Let go
Letting go of self-delusion is the hardest thing of all to let go of.
A useful exit might be to ask if it’s working, or to ask if the opposite is true for a minute or two.
Self-delusion becomes a habit fast, but it’s not the habit.
It’s the user.
“Habits are first cobwebs, then cables.”– Napoleon Hill “The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”– Warren Buffet
What decides what you feel?
If not you decide what you feel, then somebody else is doing it for you as we speak.
In this case, you know what you must do.
But that doesn’t mean that you’ll do it.
Knowing what you must do doesn’t make you a better person.
Doing it does.
The marketplace
If the marketplace sees something of value, perhaps the marketplace is right.
And if they aren’t, you are free to develop the empathy to understand what’s missing in your story about what you do or how you do it.
Marketing to others begins with marketing to yourself.
Should self-deception be the rocket fuel to achieve your goals, it might be worth accepting it for a while, provided you remember that your ability to fool yourself at the same time disables your ability to create generous and useful work in the long run.
A delusional trance will eat away at your confidence and serenity.
I’m not saying it’s easy to see yourself as others do. All I’m saying is perhaps they’re onto something.
Words don’t make sense
To assume words make sense presupposes that they have the organs required.
I’ve looked at words from both sides now.
They don’t.
The one with the organs to feel, to smell, to hear, to touch, to taste, and to see — the sensational one — is you.
Freedom not used is freedom lost
Some word-users don’t want you to use your senses.
You probably know what I’m talking about. The subject matter quite well known. I’m talking about those that have been telling the world’s most successful lie for thousands of years with no end in sight because their business model depends on it. Those that want you to believe the truth is in a book of which they have a copy under their arm, to each their own, on the strength of which many have been, and continue to be as we speak, beheaded, tortured and — less frequent these days — burned at stakes,
Galileo saved his head by declaring that the same divinity that gives us the senses isn’t the same that doesn’t want us to make any sense until we die.
“When you see a difference between the guidebook and the bird, believe the bird.”– Tara Brach
When Galileo saw the guidebook and the moon, he believed the moon
The sensational one
The sensational one — the one with the organs — is you.
Each of your organs’ senses — feel, smell, hear, touch, taste, and see — can be duped by optical illusions and virtual realities. There are many ways to do this.
Most of what can be seen, heard, and known, you do not see, hear, or know.
But if you have any reaction to fake news, only the word-master that invented it will be happy.
Because it’s been seven years since I decided to dedicate my work to words. During that time almost no one has been interested, and to tell you all, I was able to count the number of interested word-users on the fingers of just one of my two hands.
Yet I slave away until I fall simply because I recognise the treasure I have in front of me.
It doesn’t matter to that I’m the only one. It doesn’t matter to me, and near as I can tell, by the end of the day that’s all that counts.
I would rather experience one year of intense happiness than have the happiness spread over my whole existence.
Well, my wish has been granted, for I now had my intense happiness spread over seven years instead of just one.
Now I am left with duty.
Nothing predestines me for such a task.
The discovery that in the beginning is the word only costs and brings in zilch, not even the cost price.
It is against all reason. At times I feel sad. Temporarily. The bad thing is that at my age it’s hard to start something new.
The origin of humanity
The key to understanding the origin of humanity, in fact, the key to understanding everything you have a word for, including you, as well as the key to understanding everything you and I know, without exception, it’s in The Origin of Humanity for everybody to see. In a nutshell, as opposed to in a book, here for everybody to see it even more clearly, beyond the shadow of a doubt:
In the beginning is the word
There’s never been anything like it.
It’s the only key you and I will ever need. The key to everything, including nothing.
You will never look back for you will see there’s never been anything like it and that there shall never be anything like it again.
As many word-users as possible
My passion is to show it and make sure it convinces as many word-users as possible. I do everything I can to fulfill this task.
How can I lead my fellow word-users to realise what a treasure they have in front of them, but can’t seem to see?
Especially the influential know-it-alls who boast about their superior knowledge of how it all began.
This contempt is not new. I have rebelled against convention and authority throughout my existence. And paid the price.
Much of what I started, I broke off.
And until 2016, it’s proven to be of no use.
Now is different
But words still don’t find an audience.
So every time that happens, I change my tactics.
I will not rest.
Describe me as a goofball nice to have around or whatever else comes to mind, but I can respect and understand that it annoys the other word-users when I get on their nerves with a subject they know nothing about.
Assume I’m a nobody, a romantic, a naive, or that getting advice from me is the equivalent of being measured by the undertaker, that I’m patronising and contemptuous with the pessimistic stance comparable only to my co-pessimistic co-word-users, or that in the beginning is the word is nothing more than kid’s talk.
I am sadly aware of it.
I might well at once be too simple and too subtle for the contemporary mind shared by of the defenders of the status quo.
I will never be fully understood, except by the happy people — the children that haven’t already gone through the homogenizing hopper called school into which we toss our integral tots for teaching falsehoods from the start.
Work keeps me in balance
I dream of being the one who helps the new way of looking at words to break through worldwide.
That’s how I want to go when my time will have come.
My view — on the origin of everything, this is on in the beginning is the word — will probably scare all those who normally get their money’s worth from the established views defended by the church/es and state/s.
My seminars are intended for those who still believe what can be grasped immediately is not always of the greatest quality.
All that glitters is not gold.
Furthermore, it is addressed to all those who admire my work, and also to those who already believe in my passion but are not yet convinced of my work.
In less than 3 weeks, I’ll be hosting my “LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITIES” live seminar, as opposed to an online webinar, answering questions and connecting people to get serious in discussing the new way of looking at words.
After the seminar, the participants will have replaced the old way of how word-users looked at words.
In other words, the old way of looking at words will be a thing of the past that the participants will be happy to forget forever and a day.
Limitless Opportunities
Limitless Opportunities will change the world and, hence will be transformative with a money-back guarantee.
Because when YOU change howYOU look AT WORDS, YOU change.
Limitless Opportunities does it for you. As you partake in the seminar, new landscapes will unfold that participants will discover have been there all along.
The unfolding is you.
Limitless Opportunities is based on The Origin of Humanity, my new book which as you’d expect covers how everything began — not only humanity, but also you, and everything else you have a word for.
In the beginning is the word
How everything began — and what words are, what words do, and what words have — isn’t taught at learning institutions such as homes, kindergartens, schools, and universities.
Therefore, graduates don’t think of you, or of themselves, as a word.
“The school system is the homogenizing hopper into which we toss our integral tots for processing.” – Marshall McLuhan
A quick reminder for those who haven’t had a chance yet to read my previous posts — here or on my website: You is a word.
And like every other word you have ever heard of, including you and humanity, it couldn’t be anything else if it tried.
Since 2016
Since 2016 I’ve written more books about words than any other author. Part of that is simply longevity, persistence, and showing up. But most of it is your doing.
The loyal readers of my books, posts, and blog — more than seven years of going tough while the going gets tougher — are the foundation of my career as a words-author.
I remember it well.
Now that my book is out, hosting a live seminar, with a face-to-face audience asking and answering questions, in the town where I care and reside, in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland, seems like a good idea.
If you live in or near Switzerland or know anybody who does, I hope you and your friends can make it to my Limitless Opportunities seminar on October 1st, 2023.
