READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that money makes the world go around.  He says that people believe in and trust money because OTHER people believe in and trust money, while religion asks us to believe in and trust something.

I'll disagree with his simplistic stance here.  People believe in and trust RELIGION..... ALSO because other people believe in and trust something.  I'm a good example of this.  I felt inadequate to actually KNOW something of my own accord.  So I did, in fact, gradually over the years of my life, come to believe in and trust religion because OTHER people did.  By about age 35, I began unraveling this web of self-deception, and began searching for what "I" believe.

But I don't disagree with Harari about money.  I calculate the value of something based on what OTHER people tell me it is in Dollars and Cents.  And apparently all of humankind is willing to do so, and have done so for millennia.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says in Designing my Look I should keep these tips in mind:

• be recognizable, interesting
• use a professional photographer or designer; put all the input you can into it, but let the professional do his/her job.
• be certain people will notice your logo (although he does not say how to be certain)
• get feedback from friends, fans, followers

Then he says I should "find my voice" which he says is quite difficult to do, and likely will not come suddenly, but over a long period of writing.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He describes his growing up years, and how it was his MOTHER, not his father, who stimulated his curiosity about social issues, as well as politics, war, and other controversies.  He says she lived her life doing what she damn well pleased.  But he was always expected to go to college, and never even thought of someday holding political office.

We'll see what today brings.  But tomorrow, I'll be getting my first Pfizer COVID19 vaccine inoculation.  Can't wait!!
