READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that there is a theory that men are more powerful due to their larger size and greater strength.  But, he says, this theory is not valid, since even where a powerful position requires little strength, men have dominated (e.g., clergy)

He's right, and he has a 2nd argument against the "strength theory," which I will read about tomorrow.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says that there are MANY THOUSANDS of authors out there who are "crazy" and yet they still have an audience.  So I should remember that and just begin the hard work of writing.

He quotes Anne Lamott, who gives this secret:

The professional shows up every day, ready to do the work.  No magic beans or mystical formulas.  Just simple, hard work.

I am reminded when I worked at DKM (2nd time), and Jeff Dixon threatened to terminate me; we agreed that if I could sell $100K + of business in the next X months, I would be able to stay.

So, I began to work like a professional.  I showed up every day on time, and I worked until "quittin' time" every day.  I filled every minute with work activities.  When I had an hour before "quittin' time" and I was away from the office, I found a Starbuck's, logged on, and made calls until the end of the day.

The result:  I sold more than $100K, and stayed with DKM.  Jeff restored my salary to what it was before, and I kept at it.

I know that many others don't have to "go through all this" to be successful.  But I did.

Perhaps now I will "show up for work" as a writer.
