how could i have missed this?!

How does the mighty GOE really think? Care to probe into his mind view about life? His basic presumption is that people and things do not change unless something dramatic happens. Hmm, no wonder..Once an evil, always an evil:(

A Philosophical Note on what we know will happen …
By Akn

We know that:
The sun rose today, and we can count on it that it will rise again tomorrow. That is so long as the earth revolves around its axis and nothing dramatic happens that knocks it off its axis

People are born, they will grow and develop and then there is decay and death. This happens so long as HE wants it that way and HE does not dramatically decide to change the cycle of life.

Rivers will flow to the sea, water will evaporate from the sea and fall as rain on the mountains and give water to the rivers that flow back to the sea. As long as the ecological balance is left intact and we don’t dramatically blast the entire mountain range and reduce it to rubble.

A rose will be a rose, wherever planted, in what ever soil will always look nice and smell sweet. Until it is genetically altered dramatically.

The laws of gravity prevail and dictate that what is thrown up will come down. Until we find a dramatic solution of the airplane or sending flights to the weightlessness of outer space.

Experience tells us that:
The greed of man cannot be satisfied and becomes even greedier after the greed is satisfied. The lust for power or money becomes greater after power (or money) is acquired, not less. Until something dramatic happens, such as a personal awakening, a death, a coup or a revolution.

Romantics will be romantics: Those who fall in love easily, after they are hurt once, will fall in love easily again and be hurt again. Until something dramatic, such as a knight (or damsel) in shining armor comes along.

Good presenters will remain good. Until something dramatic happens that makes them change.
Reliable people remain reliable: They are like rocks. Until something happens such as acquiring an alcoholic addiction or falls in love (bewitched) by the wrong person.

The hard and harsh can be counted on to be hard and harsh again. Until something really dramatic and life changing happens.

Those who are overweight will likely be always overweight - they may lose weight but will likely put it on again unless a dramatic change is made in their lifestyle and attitude toward food.

Those who gamble (for love or money) will gamble again and again. Until they are really hurt hard and big. And even then there is no assurance.

Those who are late for work will likely be late for work again. They may improve for a while, but they will be late again. Until they make a dramatic change in their outlook.

Those who forget things to do, are likely to forget things to do. Until they develop a system, stick to the system and change their outlook about forgetting.

Those who make mistakes are likely to make mistakes and we can count on this. Until they make a dramatic change in their outlook and in their system.

Those who are erratic can be counted to be erratic. They blow hot today / cold tomorrow, nice today / grouchy tomorrow, delivers today / goofs tomorrow. Until they dramatically decide which they really want to be. Reliable and pleasant or unreliable and grouchy.

If you try a system, supplier or other new it is almost certain there will be problems. If you have a new hotel the likelihood of problems occurring is still almost certain, no matter how many hotels you have dealt with. Unless we take dramatic steps to realize and prepare.

Those who fail to give feedback are the ones most likely to fail to give feedback. Unless they realize it is a disease and do something to dramatically alter their outlook on feedback.

Those who tend to be dishonest will always tend to be so. Its like a smoker, gambler or alcoholic – they can’t help it. Until something dramatic happens – such as my alcoholic friend that killed a child driving drunk – or until they completely change their definition of what is dishonest.

Lessons:
The natural tendency of the world is for things to repeat. Life, nature and people are CONSISTENT and predictable. If you put a snake inside a bamboo, it will still wiggle.
These repeating things will not change for better or for worse on their own.
Changing them is NOT easy. It requires a dramatic change.

Reminders:
A) If you had a problem with dele list, payments, pre con, bag delivery, speaker materials, wrong understanding about Expo size, sponsor with incomplete info or whatever, forgot chargers etc, the chances are that it will recur. There is little hope that it will NOT recur, unless you take a different route than the one you took before.

B) If someone likes you a lot, or is not kind to you, or does not respond to your feelings, or cant take no for an answer, or keeps misunderstanding you, chances are he or she will NOT change.

That’s life. That’s Kharma. And it's good. Enjoy life.

YOU can also do something about it. The POWER is within YOU.

That’s why the lines on your left hand tell you what you are born for and the lines on your right hand, tell you what YOU are making your life to be.

That’s also life. //

My personal note to GOE's philosophical note
By me

Sounds hopeless...An how little faith the GOE has!

Wish he could use the 'power in him' to change this:)
