In less than 3 weeks, I’ll host my first Limitless Opportunities seminar Who’d have thought so seven years ago? 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

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

I never thought this would happen to me. When it did, happen that is, as you’d expect, I was taken aback. I was merrily jogging through the trees of my favorite forest when two young spandex speedsters blew by me on their $300 shoes. For a moment, I was disheartened. What’s the point–they’re fast like the wind? I’m not. Then I realized that it’s not a race. It’s a journey from beginning to end, and

Words become habits faster than you think Habits rule the conditioned mind. Hold it! Relax. Before you jump to conclusions you only risk to regret later, don’t think that your mind has a choice — it is conditioned whether it likes it or not. The freedom you have, the only freedom you have, is to decide who does the conditioning. It’s either other word-users with their companies’ interests in mind, each their own… …or it’s

In the wordless world Everything you have a word for doesn’t exist in the wordless world for self-evident reasons, including of course media. In the wordy world In the wordy world of word-users, word is the medium without which there wouldn’t be any (media). For completeness’ sake, let me add that it’s not just about media. There’d be no word-users either. Breathe and allow things to pass You will continue to suffer if you have

I was happily pedaling on my bicycle when a T-shirted speedster blew by me on her battery-powered roller. For a moment, I was dis-appointed. She’s speedy, I’m not. She’s young, I’m not. What’s the point? Then I realized, A) that I had failed that morning to appoint myself, B) that it’s not a race, and C) that I don’t own a plan B. It’s not a race. On the contrary, it’s a journey from the

Have you seen Oppenheimer, the movie? It’s possible you’ve read the book. Who knows, maybe you did both. To make your view of the world MASSIVELY stand out from the crowd, is easy to do. Do the opposite of what the crowd does. The majority of word-users read the book or watch the movie thinking Oppenheimer is about the atomic bomb. To MASSIVELY stand out from the crowd, dig just a little bit deeper. When

In the wordless world In the wordless world, everything you have a word for doesn’t exist for self-evident reasons, including word for equally self-evident reasons. In the wordy world In the wordy world, everybody knows that everything is different because everything we know is what we have words for. But that’s not all. What everybody doesn’t know is that words have rules the grammarians don’t have a clue about. With grammar taught at schools throughout

In the wordless world In the wordless world, nothing exists that word-users have a word for. For self-evident reasons that includes good and picture. In the wordy world In the wordy world: Picture is a word Everything you have a word for is a word A word, any word, couldn’t be anything else if it tried Picture is mistaken to speak 1,000 words This might make sense at first sight — especially the part about

It’s possible that you don’t know me…yet. In fact, it’s more than likely. Maybe like many LinkedIn users before, you’ve viewed my profile but would like to know more about me just the same. Therefore, if so inclined, let me share with you my story in two parts. Part 1: Before me/Before 2016/Before words Part 2: After me/After 2016/After words Before me/Before 2016/Before words Before me, I used to do when and how I was told, grew up, traveled the world, worked

Step 1 As you’d expect, your lesson begins with the first step. Step number one is knowing that the word-masters have known in the beginning is the word since the beginning. You don’t need to be a word-master to know what that means. But you must know how it all began. It all began with the invention of words, hence the saying “In the beginning is the word”. Unless you’ve lived in a cave on

Why is it hard to gain a fresh perspective? I think it has got to do — are you ready for this? — with professional golf teachers. I’m told the hardest part for a professional golf teacher isn’t helping adult golfers develop a picture-book swing. The hardest part is getting adult golfers to stop using a bad one. The same is true for professional word teachers. The hardest part isn’t helping adult word-users gain a

Word-users ask strange questions The strange question I often get asked is “Why is the word not what my smart phone says?” In a world of complicated — an English-pronounced Latin word — simple is like one hand clapping, hard to be heard, or if you prefer, like a bird without feathers, hard to take to the sky. Word and words are good cases in point. Simple is a word that couldn’t be anything else

If the above could talk, what would they tell us? We’ll never know because they won’t. That’s the 1 (one) way I increased my knowledge by 1000%. Let me share with you how it came about, so you can do it too. Words Words do not describe the world. They describe how we see it. To know what I’m talking about. For just a minute: Imagine traveling by train at your own chosen speed. The

I’m not kidding. Nor am I one to make a new opinion: If you’ve been told in the beginning is 0 (zero), you’ve been SHAMMED. In case you wonder what’s the opposite of SHAMMED, well, it’s genuine. If you’re interested in genuine, and in how you and your family and friends have been shammed for the past 2023 years with no end in sight, then read on. In the beginning As you can see in

Or rather what not to think. Because if you think the “1% versus 99%” much talked about these days to divide us, is new, you’re mistaken. “The 1% versus the 99%” is as old as words. To know how old words are, try imagining the time between the birth of Earth and the year 2023 in terms of 100%, instead of in years. It might take a minute or two, to talk from experience, because
