All right folks, this is going to sound stupid. But…

I always wondered why humans have such big legs in comparison to other animals with much bigger bodies. Even horses have much skinnier, littler legs than us. We are true, thunderthighs and cavalcade thighs.

Yesterday, it came to me in a flash.I was standing in the bathroom looking at my feet. They were these TWO tiny little appendages that balanced and supported this funny body of mine.

 

It’s like balancing a stick figure on two grains of rice for feet.

BAM!

WE NEED OUR BIG LEGS TO CONSTANTLY BALANCE OUR BODIES THAT SIT ON OUR TWO GRAIN OF RICE FOR FEET.

It takes ALL that musculature to keep us upright without swaying and tilting and flopping over.

HAD we had BIG lovely, waddling duck feet, THEN we could have had chopsticks for legs.

Capiche???

I feel like a brilliant genius.

What is the LESSON of all this?

It’s a tale of Life… and Limb.

It’s amazing how two little grains of rice feet can support and balance a whole big body. And by the way - take a look at a 1 year old. Talk about little bitty feet and a big round body.

Folks, there’s method to the madness.

LESSON: Adapt. IF you’ve been given two tiny grains of rice for feet, compensate. Grow some BIG, HONKIN’, Legs.

If I’m wrong, go ahead and let me know.

This was a tweet from Josh Sundquist:

Lunch Friday with @KeithFerrazzi: He said “I’ve never met a truly extraordinary person who was focused on more than one thing in life.”

Does this hit you the way it hit me?

~~~
I never met anyone as spread out as myself, nor anyone as un-extraordinary at anything.

Do many of us really want to be extraordinary? I think it depends on how we define the word. We all want to be a little above ordinary - SOMETHING that makes us stand out from the crowd.

After all, that’s how we get seen and how others get sold on what we have, such as our skills or our products.

I think KeithFerrazi is referring to super extraordinary people who have achieved Gold Medal accomplishments.

Or is he?

We all need to excel in something in order to make a living.

The quote above implies we need to FOCUS.

Understood.

OUSTED Chicago 2016 - Almost immediately upon perfunctory perusal of these mere two Youtube videos, I was able to predict which city had the highest likelihood of winning Olympics 2016.

RIO

Chicago

There’s some sort of mind energy Internet meld going on here. By merely gauging the two videos above, two distinctly different mind sets are revealed. Verry telling.

I’m sure there’s a lesson here, somewhere.

~~~

If I were a movie maker, I might consider hopping down to Rio and finding the particular videographers and directors of Above Video Number 1.

Upon watching Madrid 2016 for 10 seconds, hazarding a guess RIO will win.
