I wish I had the uh, Cannons to be in a Biker Bar but Wine Bar and Crudites (that would be raw veggies served as snacks, NOT vulgarities served up getting ready to be smacked!) are more my style.

But Cannon Ball Biker Bar is less frightening than…Karaoke Night!!

Jill: I can just see you there at the Biker Bar with your BREWED UP motorized beer cooler! Yeeee-haw!

Yeah, that would be really cool if I learned he had achieved whatever dream he had. I’m all for people living up to their potential and attaining their dreams!

Sounds like a nice time Ms.Q! It would be neat if he really did get his boat & you heard back from him!

I know that I have had “teachers” in my life. It always makes me think of the saying, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

I have one friend who’s honesty has been a wakeup call to me. He’s that type of guy and it’s just who he is. Based on what he’s told me, he’s unintentionally become a catalyst for change for others. What happens is they will tell him, “When you said…I realized I need to …”

You are right in that we feel free to reveal ourselves to strangers but not to those who we feel can hurt us. I’m interpreting what you wrote!

I’m not sure if I will hear from him again. I’ve exchanged cards with many interesting people over the years. Only a few have ever exhanged more than a single email. OK. One woman!

I have emailed people in the past with no response and I never ask for anything (networking, business contacts, anything). I also rarely offer my business card. In this case, I was surprised when he took out his card.

I do know he’ll be in Europe for T-day. I wonder if he’ll do the 2nd MBA. My gut is saying that he shouldn’t take that path - but should find a mentor but heck, who knows. From what he described, the MBA was expensive (he mentioned Stanford or Harvard) and he really wanted specific knowledge. Why go through an entire MBA For that?

I may be at the crossroads but I know where I’m going. I just haven’t taken the first BIG step. You could say I’m packing the bags! As well as hauling away what I don’t need (them dang Limiting Beliefs!)

Keep on blessing the masses with your words of wisdom.

I think you may have impacted that mans life more than he would care to admit if someone every asked him, then again, maybe not.

I find that trust is so hard to come by. We’ll trust strangers with our things (articles) and often with our thoughts. But those that are close to us we tend to hold back from (something I thought about while reading your post not necessarily what you post was about, but then again everything has an underlining meaning - sometimes).

Transient relations are rewarding in a sense that you have no real fear of seeing people every again and you can let your heart bleed. But from the looks of things you have exchanged business cards.

I hope to hear a story about a phone call and how you two catch up. Him being a CEO or sport fishing and you working your way past the crossroad.
