My position: Don't dumb yourselves down....
 
....to living in the mousetrap of your comfort zones. Pain, fear and hard work are three of your best friends.

"Most people live in a very restricted circle of their potential being. We all have reservoirs of energy and genius to draw upon of which we do not dream." --William James [Harvard]

Thanks + it goes back to the under-utilized....
 
Hi,

This ties in with the under-utilized assets idea that Dien and Mike Ross and others have discussed.

12 Billion years of nothingness, then I'm born and what do I do? Spend 70 years failing to make the most of the gift I was given? Sounds pretty pathetic.

I realize making efficient use of assets (ones we were born with and ones we can obtain) isn't easy, and that must be why most people can't do it. I know I've failed to do it for the first 48 years of my life. Hopefully I can reverse the trend.

best,

- Boyd
