I have determined that I am not doing enough, and so therefore have to do too much. The lightbulb went off in my head. I have to go through a million things and disappoint excitable people. This is superior to trying to get an extraordinary commitment from a few. As Ralph Malph said in his moment of epiphany this is 'volume babysitting'.
So I'm doing a whole bunch of things and not really worrying until I can't take it. I am inspired by John McCain, of all people. This man who cannot raise his hands above his head, is as old as my father and has said that he can work 18 hours a day 7 days a week for four years. I have no excuses.
So I'm going to work on The Raven Group. I'm going to work with Citibank. I'm going to work with Applied OLAP. I'm going to study DISC. I'm going to work with Mr. Reed. I'm going to work with Mr. Gillespie. I'm going to get The Brother's Cup rolling. I'm going to write Managing Essbase Projects. I'm going to keep playing the bass guitar. I'm going to keep designing the Tabletop metaphor. I'm going to keep blogging at Cobb and more at Cubegeek. I'm going to learn OBIEE and Dodeca. I'm going to learn how to raise venture capital. I'm going to continue to speak at NPR and I'm going to keep correcting my kids' homework. I'm basically going to break my neck. And if I spread myself too thin, then I'll let them tell me. But the fact of the matter is that I don't think any of them have any idea of what I'm capable of which is why I'm still not running half as much of the planet as I should be.
I'm energized about what's possible and I have too many BBs to be plinking.
