  • (Day 895) Trusting Government

    Apr 30, 2012 » No Comments

    I hate to bring politics into the trust conversation but I watched this video today and it reminded me how much government is involved in creating the environment for prosperity.

    Personally I want to live in a country that trusts me and helps me to feel safe, not only from foreign interests but those here who are in power. I want to feel proud of our moral place in the world.  I want to feel like our system is fair to all people. I want to live in an environment that promotes innovation. I want us to be fiscally responsible. All of the issues I have mentioned are under attack.  As I watched this video from Ron Paul I found myself agreeing with what the problem is, and how we might resolve it.  I listened to the whole speech. I especially liked the way he ended, talking about truth and trust.

  • (Day 850) Do You Trust Your Mechanic?

    Mar 25, 2012 » No Comments

    As a 12 year old boy, I remember telling my best friend I was going to fly helicopters when I grew up. That dream came true and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. But like all stories, they have a beginning and a ending.  After years of flying and owning helicopters I decided to sell mine to focus on my new passion (this tour). Today came the time to hand over the keys. It was more emotional for me that I want to admit. Of course,  the new buyer wanted to make sure his mechanic checked out airworthiness. Talk about trust… there is a whole new level of trust when it comes to flying through the air in a machine. Above is my short, funny and real talk with Kevin the helicopter mechanic.

  • (Day 849) Pink Slim – Can We Trust Our Food?

    There has been a lot of talk about Pink Slim lately. I did not understand what it was until this video caught my attention.  What else are we eating that we do not understand?

  • (Day 848) Are We All Becoming Terrorists?

    Mar 23, 2012 » No Comments

    Yet another tragic story. You can feel the sense of sadness and deep betrayal flowing from a daughters broken heart in the video above.  Based on the facts presented, it is hard to imagine what kind of a person could murder and leave a note saying, “Terrorist, go back to Iraq.”

    Unfortunately, as this story has traveled around the world it combines with other current events, Afghan murders,  burning of the Koran and Muslim ejected from airline. I can’t help but wonder how big the storm of mutual fear is going to get?

    This reminds me of the McCarthy Era when the whole country became paranoid of “The Reds.” At the peak of the panic we turned on each other. This of course was the real disaster.

    After  9-11 we no longer feel safe and are once again propelled down the path of fear. There is a risk this fear will become a cancer in the body of our country.  We have to be careful in the process of securing ourselves we don’t end up creating the most powerful terrorists of all… us.

    The McCarthy Era ended when it became apparent there was nothing to fear but ourselves. What will it take this time for us to trust again???

    I came across this video explaining how body language plays a role in how people perceive (trust) us. What messages are you sending out?

  • (Day 835) Trust In An Airplane

    Mar 10, 2012 » No Comments

    I happened to come across these two videos within minutes of each other. One shows a flight attendant creating a fun relaxed environment for his passengers, the other shows a female flight attendant losing it onboard a flight. When you are put in a tube and sent up in the sky traveling 500 miles an hour with hundreds of other people, trust is a BIG deal. I don’t know why one was happy and the other full of fear,  I just know I would rather be in the cabin with the first guy.
