The New M.B.A.
Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, wanted to take a vacation.
He needed a replacement bell ringer but the only one who showed up at the top of the bell tower was a man without any hands.
“How can you expect to ring those heavy bells?” Asked Quasimodo.
“Easy” said the armless man “watch!” He ran full force at the bells smashing into them with his head and the bells swung back and forth.
“I don’t believe it” said Quasimodo “how long can you keep that up?”
“No problem” said the man “I’ll do it again, watch!”
And once more he ran full tilt into the bells, except that the bells were swinging out as he got there.
He missed the bells and fell twenty stories to his death.
Quasimodo painfully rushed down the winding stairs.
When he got to the street, a crowd had gathered around the smashed body.
A policeman asked “Does anybody know him?”
“I don’t know who he is” answered the Hunchback “but his face rings a bell.”
Learning To Let Go
I’ve studied management at University, worked in several management roles and also run my own business but I’ve always had the challenge of letting go of responsibility fearing that if I get someone to do something that they may not do a good enough job or that it may end up costing me too much money, so I’ve resisted for a long time but recently I’ve realised that in order to really make progress personally and professionally I need to figure out how to delegate and outsource properly.
So recently I’ve started reading Timothy Ferriss’ “The 4-Hour Work Week”. The 4-Hour Work Week introduces us to the concept of M.B.A. – Management By Absence, creating a business that we can step away from and remove oursleves out of, at least, the day to day operations. Another concept that Timothy introduces is the idea that most people don’t necessarily want to be millionaires but what they do want is the millionaire lifestyle – someone who earns $200,000 per year but has to work 80 hours per week is not necessarily better off than someone who makes $20,000 per year but only works a few hours a week, what really matters most is quality of life.

Sesame Street Meets Melrose Place At Avenue Q
In the summer of 1969 what is now known as the essence of Sesame Street was born “the artful blend of fluffy monsters and earnest adults” defying the recommendations of many child psychologists who felt that to mix fantasy and reality would be misleading to children. The decision was made based on extensive research which showed that the mix of puppets with real life actors was the best way to gain and retain the attention of the audience (children). Avenue Q is a musical which extends the idea of combining puppets with real life actors but with more of an adult story line dealing with issues such as racism, pornography and sexuality and I must admit… I really enjoyed it – the combination of puppets, music and comedy had me totally adsorbed and mesmerised!
