What's One Thing You've Always Wanted - Technology

Ok, the question for the day is, what is one thing you've always wanted that is concerned with Technology.  How might you go about getting it?

Lately, I've been wanting a Tesla Roadster.  This car is awesome, a true weekend warrior car.  It's a sports car, that is 100% electric.  That's right.  It gets good miles on the charge as well.  Only problem?  It cost about $100k.  So, how am I going to get this beast?

I think the only way I'll be able to get it is to work smarter and not harder.  I'm going to have to formulate a plan to put every dollar I get to work for me.  I'm going to have to work out an investing strategy.  Be it stocks, or turn key investments.  Heck, I might even be able to start my own business.

I'm also going to have to take charge of the way I handle my money.  No more wasteful spending.  I'm going to have to keep a tight fist on that money.  I can't just go out and spend it like I normally do.

Now, that I know what I have to do, it's time to start setting goals.

My Take On Thinking Outside The Box

We have that Age Old question.  How does one thing outside the box?  This question isn't always able to be answered.  I think, that for everyone, it's a different process that we have to discover.  I'll share with you my thoughts on the matter though.

Thinking outside the box, requires one thing and one thing only, Knowledge.  That's right, we have to constantly be learning to be able to think outside the box.  We have to be comfortable enough with ourselves that we can accept change.  What kind of change?  Change within.  This change within, is going to give us a brighter view on the Universe itself and how things work the way the do.

How do we go about this change?  Well, I think the absolute best way to go about this change, is to go out and experience the world.  If you can't travel the world, travel your own country at least.  It's always easier to travel within your own country than it is to travel the world.  So, what is there to gain by all this travel?

Knowledge and Experience.  These two things combine, will allow us to look at our inner selves and see things in a different way.  Think about how your first experience was with a foreigner.  Ok, got that experience?  Many people's first experience with a foreigner in America is often with Chinese people in a Chinese buffet.  If you're Chinese or Oriental for that matter, that's often a different story.

This knowledge and experience we gain over time, will shape who we become.  It will change the way we think, unless of course you're a stubborn fool that is set in your own ways.  I believe that the best way to grow, is to experience.  The experience of different cultures and the way they see things and do things for that matter, changes us all.  Whether we like it or not.  This perspective allows us to broaden our minds, thus giving us a brighter picture.

If you can't travel the world, you can get the same experience from traveling in your own country.  While not to the extent of traveling the world, it does have it's benefits.  The more people you interact with, the more you'll learn.  We have to make it a point, to learn and grow.  If we stop learning, then what are we?  You might have made straight A's in school, but unless you apply that knowledge and grow, you're a nobody.  Do we really want to be a nobody?  I know I sure don't.

What's Your Favorite Thing To Put On The Grill?

I think this post will be a question more so than a post.  Just this past weekend was the 4th of July weekend.  It's a reason to celebrate.  Cookouts, Food, Family, Friends, did I mention Food?  Ah, the classic American excuse to break out the grill.

So, my question for you today is this -

What's your favorite thing to put on the grill?

I'd have to say that mine would be a good Hamburger.  I love a good Hamburger.  Throw on some Cheese, Lettuce or Baby Spinach, Tomato, and Pickles and you have yourself one mean burger.  Now, from time to time I don't mind a good Onion on there, but I'm not much of an Onion fan.  That is, when it comes to raw Onions.  When they are cooked, sauteed is the best, I'm all for it.

Hope your week is good and prosperous.
