Anyone for a Gemeinschaft? - Real Online Communities

The internet would have to be the largest organisation that our world has ever seen.  Actually it is one massive organisation made up of millions of smaller organisations.  Each of these organisations can be put into 1 of 2 categories if we look through the glasses of the German sociologist Ferdinand Tonnies.
In 1887, Tonnies wrote Gemeinschaft and Gesellshaft to describe two different […]

Why I will never go Pro again.

“Going Pro” is a popular goal for many people today.  Some seek to become Professional Athletes, some Professional Musicians.  Many are exploring Professional blogging and of course Nacho Libre wanted to become a Pro Wrestler.  There is a certain flavour of Professionalism that is enticing.  It sounds respectable, it gives legitimacy to your goals and it looks great in a CV.  But […]

The Life Goal Action Code of Blogging

Today I wrote an article (or more a rant) about the downfall of the internet.  It became one big complaint about the swelling ranks of seo experts and affiliate marketing gurus, and how they could gradually turn the internet into a ghost town.  When I went back and re-read my final edit I was ashamed.  I had written a […]

You can’t ace it all the time

Think back to your school days and I’m sure you’ll remember someone who seemed to be good at everything.  They were fast on the track, played in a band, made 1st grade teams, aced their exams and also managed to be popular with the girls or boys.  Maybe this was you, maybe you just watched […]

When things don’t go as planned

Take a break
Go back to your objectives
Take stock of your successes
Learn from your losses
Give yourself a break
Re-commit yourself to your goals
Get up and go again

Last week I ordered by email, and received, a new set of bike training rollers for indoor training.  I ordered them from a special advertised by a bike shop in Osaka.  They had great deals on two models, the basic model at an excellent price, and another with all of the extras for close to double the price.  […]

If only the world had a Stumble button

No matter how creative our thinking, and how diverse our range of experiences, we still tend to stick to familiar patterns.  Without thinking about it we go to familiar places, we meet with familiar people, we eat, watch, listen to and otherwise consume familiar inputs.  We are creatures of habit and this saves us from […]

What is Life Goal Action?

LifeGoalAction is now 2 months old, so I have decided it is time for a quick over view of what it is about and why it exists.
Before I launched this site, I did some research about what was available online.  As I searched the internet for information about life skills and personal development, I found a mass of different sites.  Finding […]

Will you be the next Superhero…Please?

Superheroes are brave, capable, and strong.  They have morals, power, and enemies.  They help the weak, overcome evil, and give their world another chance.  They are role models, responsible, and tireless.  But most of all, they are in short supply.
Apart from between the covers of comic books, Superheroes are a species that is practically extinct.  Men […]

Multi-tasking - Efficiency at the expense of effectivity

Electronic equipment is designed for multi-tasking.  The PC I am typing on can edit my writing, while it automatically backs itself up and plays me music (if it is having a good day).  My watch can tell me the time, plot my heart rate, track my movements, and calculate my speed.  These devices are designed […]
