The words, images are reflective and have the aim to make you think. This weeks movie is about making choices. We daily make so many choices. And in every interaction lies a choices.</p>
<p>&#8216;LIGHTER, OR DARKER&#8217;  |  HOLLYWOOD VERSION BELOW<br />
Each encounter holds the capacity to render us lighter.</p>
<p>Or to colour the experience of our world darker.</p>
<p>Each encounter holds the capacity to engage<br />
our sense of wonder.</p>
<p>Or to help us hide from noticing the<br />
experience of being human.</p>
<p>Each encounter holds the capacity to<br />
tell its story without expectation.</p>
<p>Or to force on the world an opinion<br />
of how it must be.</p>
<p>Each encounter holds the capacity for<br />
us to recognise our sameness.</p>
<p>Or to escape into the experience<br />
of separateness.</p>
<p>And with each encounter comes a decision.</p>
<p>To make our world lighter.</p>
<p>Or darker.</p>

<p>And where are you heading off this morning? I drove my son to school. We had a joyful conversation imagining all sorts of things that were funny. Everything was possible. The world a great adventure full of new challenges. And if you were to ask me: &#8221; What is happiness?&#8221; The answer would be: &#8220;Driving my son to school on a early morning&#8230;&#8221; All the rest are details.<br />
Have a good working day&#8230;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[David Allen’s book ‘Getting things done’, has sold 2 million copies all over the world. The premise of the book is simple enough. That a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them externally. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks.

Unlike a computer, we can not add more ram to our brains. So we have to free up ram so we can think more. That’s why David’s book is so amazing. That is gives you a system to take all that stuff and get of your head, so you can do more. Brilliant stuff.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an amazing story of a simple presentation that became a world-wide discussion. “<strong><em>Did You Know?”</em></strong> started originally out as a PowerPoint presentation for a faculty meeting in August 2006 at  Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, United States. The presentation &#8220;went viral&#8221; on the Web in February 2007 and, as of June 2007, had been seen by at least 5 million online viewers. Today the old and new versions of the online presentation have been seen by at least 20 million people, not including the countless others who have seen it at conferences, workshops, training institutes, and other venues.</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Some questions for your thinking:</strong></p>
<p>What skills do you want to teach your kids?</p>
<p>What and how many languages does your kid speak?</p>
<p>How will this impact your professional life?</p>
<p>How are you preparing to coop with these changes?</p>
<p>How is your organization adapting to these changes?</p>
