I find that I have generally oiled the "squeaky wheel" which often leaves the more passionate talents starving.<br />I think that I need to begin to take charge of my time, and will utilize the concept of 3's.<br />Thank you.<br />EricEric Hoffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059141237828900559.post-72274641569999588842010-06-11T17:05:23.244+05:302010-06-11T17:05:23.244+05:30Thank you James for providing a unique perspective...Thank you James for providing a unique perspective to this topic.

I don't feel that I compartmentalize...Hi Anuj,<br /><br />I don't feel that I compartmentalize my life (at least not on purpose). I don't think I make time. I don't prioritize very much. I'm fully committed to living authentically and philosophically; fully committed to protecting my wife and son to the best of my ability. I'm fully committed to being an excellent tester. But I don't feel fully committed to much other than those things.<br /><br />I don't feel that life is about winning or succeeding at anything. winning, achieving, succeeding are all concepts that belong to games. Life may involve games, but life itself is not for me that sort of game.<br /><br />I seek contentment, excitement, self-respect, love. If I could get these things without getting out of bed in the morning, that would be fine with me.<br /><br />I have multiple passions, I suppose, but they come and go. I don't feel that I manage them. Instead, they use me.James Marcus Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985950531079499844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059141237828900559.post-4087160973087816322010-03-11T17:48:33.631+05:302010-03-11T17:48:33.631+05:30Thank you TV, for your valuable insights into this...Thank you TV, for your valuable insights into this post.<br /><br />Regards,<br />AnujAnuj Magazinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007419487924715310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059141237828900559.post-62013472885186962492010-01-28T19:54:38.449+05:302010-01-28T19:54:38.449+05:30Anuj,
This is a great reflection on how we human ...Anuj,<br /><br />This is a great reflection on how we human being can live highly fulfilling lives. I agree with you that multiple passions is surely a trait of people who seem to accomplish little more than what mono-axis people (or, let's call them mono-rail people) seem to continuously grappple with. <br /><br />Is it the creative freedom that sets them free, or just the fact that to keep time aside for pursuing a personal passion, you must inculcate discipline in your day job (and hence become more systematic and drive even better results) - I don't know. Irrespective, I definitely believe that people who have interest always manage to find the time to pursue those interests. It is like the circle of influence / circle of concern by Covey. <br /><br />Thanks for a well-written and thought-proviking post. Thanks also for referring one of my posts :)<br /><br />-TVTVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040920054713877488noreply@blogger.com
