Casual Articles - Kubrick's Apes
Many people who understand the franchising model intimately have recognized the value of it to unite the world in a common cause. The Franchising of Nations and the Future of a United World makes sense for so many reasons. Of course critics say it can never work, but that is because they cannot do it. In fact not only can the franchising of nations work it maybe the only that will work. Still critics say it is too difficult, complex and it cannot be done. Interesting comments indeed.Franchising Nations is easy. Look how easy it was for the United States to sign up st
And because they cannot deny its existence and they can do nothing about it, the monolith somehow arouses them to develop what could be life’s next best creation since the human cerebral cortex: the human tool.

Farmers, as opposed to hunters, must be much more patient. Rather than waiting for a day or two to bring home the bacon (or venison), a farmer must wait an entire season to bring in the bread. However, where as the hunter must go back out and hope he didn’t shoot the last of the game available (or scare them all off), the farmer can replant every year and get a whole new harvest.In network marketing, there is a technique that is often passed on from upline to downline called the 3-foot rule. What this means is that anyone within 3 feet of a networker should hear a
I’m seduced to imagine a swarm of humans approaching this giant called the “Interweb,” poking its underbelly with their little stick/schtick, and seeing how it reacts.
If it wakes up, if you get its attention, you have options. You either ride on it and let it take you to places, or you scoot back to your cave.
The Internet in its present incarnation has become a truly Grand Monolith, which reminds me of the same block of gray in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: Space Odyssey. In the film, a mysterious monolith appears amid a sleeping group of apes. The apes, when they wake up, react with the three great things that would later propel their own evolution:
fear, curiosity, and courage.
The monolith becomes a point of contention: they stare at it endlessly, they fight over it, they try so much to make sense of it. It baffles and annoys them. But it also inspires them. The apes make those excited grunts that you could only hear these days from somebody like Elizabeth Ramsey.

The days are long gone when managers felt free to sit on the phone for half an hour, providing an in-depth job reference for a former colleague or subordinate. These days, HR departments are cracking down on renegade reference-givers, restricting references to the basic facts of job title, start date and ending date.The good news is that managers are off the hook when it comes to providing job references for former subordinates or co-workers IF they (the managers) still work for the employer. But when a former workmate asks you to give a reference, and you don't feel

"The management of self is critical. Without it, leaders may do more harm than good. Like incompetent physicians, incompetent managers make people sicker and less vital." — Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus, Leaders (in a chapter entitled "Leading Others, Managing Yourself")Too many managers who aspire to lead and develop others haven't learned how to lead and develop themselves. They are trying to build organizations or provide services that are different than they are. These well-intentioned managers are trying to improve their teams or organizations without improving t

You see him from across the room. You know him, but you can’t remember how you know him. Now you have a problem: you want to break the ice but your uncertainty is holding you back. Uh oh, he’s heading in your direction. What do you do?!If you’ve ever been in this situation before, you know how uncomfortable it can get – especially if you really should know who the person is. What’s more, it’s not uncommon to evade those whom you cannot remember for the fear of embarrassment.But your uncertainty shouldn’t generate a “Please Don’t Let This Person Talk To M

Let's take an example that is easy to check: I am French. Among the readers who reacted while reading that, an half felt their painful stomach ulcers starting up again while the others remembered their burning desire for visiting France. Nothing inexplicable. If the French-haters had not been that determined, the French-lovers would never have had to be so supportive. How long would it take to a Finn or a Bulgarian to provoke any reaction?Whoever you are, whatever your activity, there are people who dislike you. The faster you sift them, the faster you can take care

This part of the film where one of the apes makes a little tool out of animal bone is one I could not forget: because the tool, uncannily, is also the world’s first weapon.
It drives home one of the important points of the film: that the first product of human ingenuity was not the wheel, not religion, but something fashioned to defend and destroy.
Which, when you think about it, is also very much like religion.
The tribe of that ape that invents it, the tribe that had been driven away from their precious water pond, makes a comeback with the weapon to slay the f*ckers that had driven them out. And there, in a classic “war over natural resource,” the “advanced” tribe makes its first kill.
Us bloggers are like Kubrick’s apes; we were all sleeping when it hit us in the 1990s. Some of us merely touch it and some rearrange their lives around it. And there are those who spend most of their waking life trying to make it fit into the grand scheme of things, and somehow, make it into a really good thing.
How blogging is fast emerging as a powerful form of media works the same as Kubrick’s prehistoric monolith: we are forced to grapple its possibilities with the things that make us human. Blogging, and the Internet at large, has aroused
