On the Eve of the W-End.....

As I hope all enjoy The Friday Musical Interlude the Team has chosen, I was briefly "on the grid" before running off and ran across this from the great Rumi that to a large extent talks about the challenge we have here at #Outsiders:

May we all remain humble!!

Wishing all a Fabulous Week-End!!!

Working Away...

It has been another fabulous days here in #Outsiders as the team has continued onward with on-going daily reviews over the grid and beyond.  

As the team continues its' work, I wanted to again share a happy story:  The Return of Jason Rezaian of the Washington Post.   He returned to the United States and I understand Jeff Bezos gave him and his wife Yegi "a ride"!!!   This is as of course Amazon is about to have a good day shortly as it is about to announce earnings which I am sure the team will discuss here in the Network soon.    I was proud to have lent my name to have supported the cause for his release .   He spoke at the Washington Post Earlier:



Secretary Kerry joined the celebration as the new Headquarter for the Washington Post was launched--and he reminded the World that 71 Journalists were killed and some 200 were jailed for doing what they do.    His thoughts were also telling:




(Update:  I picked up this as Jeff Bezos spoke to dedicate the new Washington Post Building:

As a slight token of being every so grateful,  I also hope all enjoy this I chose from my Pandora Station:

As A New Week Dawns....

It was quite a week-end having had the privilege and pleasure to support my Son with his Eagle Project and also having met up with a Eagle Candidate on his Merit Badge.   It is such a joy and privilege to be witness to such dedication and commitment despite it all.

As our team has been "in development" with notations to be released througout the week, I ran across this very perceptive thought from Darren Hardy that goes to the heart of success at its' core:



If this does not motivate anyone, nothing will--It was a good reminder for me personally as I continue onward supporting the journey undertaken here in #Outsiders.    By the grace of the almighty,  the team will do its' part.    What was crucial as a reminder also was the very essence of the #Outsider Mission: "...To help change the conversation about our World One Notation, One Tweet and One Weibo at a time...".    This was as I saw this cross my "Virtual Desk" this morning:

“One child,
one teacher,
one pen and one book
can change the world.”

Can't say it better myself...Onward to the new week !!!
