Seven powerful steps to fill life with surprises!

“All good surprises have a good central plot, a piece de resistance”

Daily Life

Life is filled with daily chores. Get up the children, feed the dog, take out the trash, get the kids ready for school, make breakfast, get dressed for work, pack up the laptop, put the papers back in the folder. And, what about the do not forget times? Don’t forget your homework, don’t forget your lunch money, don’t forget your dad will pick you up early for the doctor, don’t forget we have friends over for dinner tonight, don’t forget to pick up dinner after the doctor. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It is no wonder there are realms of literature about organization, stress management, how to stay focused and my favorite “one-minute manager.” That is all the time we have left. One minute. Every day, in every kitchen around the world, this scenario, like the one above, is replayed with untold precision, right? No. While the story may begin the same the ending is quite different because the only reliable truth is tomorrow will be much like today. Do not sit there and let life be filled with surprises, instead decide to fill life with surprises. I know that the simple decision I never purposely made, trying to surprise people I know, and some I have never met, contains the key to my state of mind. As I have grown wiser, because getting older did not sound like much fun, I continue to see myself as a child. When I talk to neighbors about a project, I truly feel like I did when I asked my father how to do something: Natural curiosity, wanting to learn something new, and glad that this older person wants to help me be the teenager with this project. So, I urge you to think young, feel happy, and look for surprise opportunities.

Working from home: How to make telecommunication effective

home-office-telecommute

“Take time to recognize the positive, life-changing benefits of working from home.”

Having worked from home for 2 decades, I cannot tell you how many people have said how great it would be if they could work from home as well. It is ideal, but it wasn’t always that way. At first, very few companies would allow remote work. I even started a company at one point to build a remote workforce where people could live anywhere, be at work tomorrow (LABAWT). Still most companies trying to hire contractors require them to be onsite, but that is about to change.

Intro to life LESSONs

Why NO5537 and what can it do for me?

Somehow getting started is the hardest part. For me with this podcast and maybe for you with any new challenge you want to take on.

Sometimes, without the pressure of other people, it can be easier to learn a new skill.

Maybe you want to surprise someone or maybe you feel embarrassed about having to learn something when everyone else seems to already know it (they usually don’t or don’t know as much as they think) or maybe you don’t want any pressure from others to get to class or do well on a test. There are no tests here, BTW.

Of course, lesson.com and lessons.com were already taken, but I also wanted a URL that not everyone would know what it was; only the ideal group for these lessons. Everyone can learn something from almost any lesson provided here, but the ideal learner would be someone who is:

  • Any and all Ages
  • Not happy how it’s going so far
  • Not sure what to do next
  • Looking for a safe, respectful place to learn

NO5537 or SNO5537 when turned upside down & backwards spell LESSON and LESSONS respectfully. Not too much magic or science to it, but memorable and easy to type, which is what I wanted for you and for me.

“It’s not so much the number of storms you will have to go through, it’s a matter of can you dance in the rain?.” Ray Moore.

“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal”, according to Earl Nightingale’s book, The Strangest Secret, so along with the lessons you will be learning on NO5537.com, everyone (and me) will also be working to help you.

I can’t wait, so let’s get started!!
