Patriots VS Colts on Sunday night Football

Let’s talk about the Patriots call to go for it on 4th down against the Colts in Indianapolis. If you want to call it a crazy call then that’s your opinion, but what makes him a great coach and great leader is the ability to make calls or decisions where he is not afraid to fail. If they make the yard he is a hero and brilliant. People say that he had no confidence in his defense, but if you look at it he had confidence in both his defense and his offense. He felt his offense could get the yard and if they did not get the yardage he felt his defense could stop the Colts or at least hold them only to a field goal. What separates the average coach from the great ones is the ability to risk more then your opponent. Do you sometimes fail? Yes but the victory is greater when the risk is higher. I believe that Bill Belichick will learn from this and move his team forward like he always does. You cannot argue that he is a fantastic coach and knows what he is doing and the results that he gets. Well you could argue if you one of the few coaches with more superbowl rings then Belichick has or a better career win record. I’m not a Patriots fan, but I am a student of great leaders and Bill Belichick is certainly that. So ask yourself do you live safely or do you take the chances that very successful people do?

Why Create a Smarter Planet

Everyday we seem to be bombarded by adds from companies trying to create a smarter planet. What are these people thinking? We don't need a smarter planet! What we need are smarter people on the planet. Somewhere along the line we have taken up the cause to allow people to become more and more lazy and dumber. The problem with creating a smarter planet is that when something goes wrong we (the human race) well be to stupid and complacent to figure out what to do. When we create technology we hand over control to a select few people who create these monsters. I was at a gas station a few months ago and the clerk could not sell me a pack of gum and a bottle of water because the stores computer system had gone down. Why did someone not teach this person how to do simple math and sell products without the use of a computer. It seems to me that we are losing the fundamentals of what got us here to begin with. You don't even have to be a alive to drive the cars coming in the future. These cars will do everything for you drive, stop, adjust speed, park, and so on. How lazy do you truly have to be. I know people who can even write a check to pay a bill. That's sad. Stop giving control of your life to technology and take back your mind.
