Happy with Power Class
The semester has ended and I wish it could have gone forever but all good things come to a end. But looking at it I feel that this class helped me a lot and in terms of my performance as a human being I think I will make sure that from now on everything I do will be meaningful. I had been waiting for this class for almost a year and It knocked me out of my boots.
I think that everyone who has taken this class since the beginning this has the old Chinese saying that tells you that the only way to know your needs is to control yourself which in term is power. So I wish everyone the best of Luck and take care
Thanks

And so It Comes to an End
I haven't been very active in the blogging, life has a way of getting in the way of things like that :)
But I'd like to reflect on something that I took away from this course that I thought was very valuable.
I remember one day Les saying something to the effect of "some people believe that we are born happy and then life gets in the way." It got me to thinking, when are you happiest? Isn't it always when you "get away" those times when you leave life and forget everything, just living in the single moment. Vacations, wild adventures, drunken nights. These aren't attempts to live life but attempts to escape it.
It's liek we all innately know that the lives with live drag us into misery and so we reward ourselves with a break.
So why do we do it in the first place?
It begins to give more credit to those spiritual orders that claim that materialism is the devil, the lives with live make us miserable.
This is all rather odd for me to say because I'm a fairly happy person, but I feel it. I feel life stressing me and messing with my head. Do I enjoy the rush and the spin and the crazy juggling act? Yes I do! It's exciting, but could this not be the same exciting as the excitement invoked by power. The bitter sweet emotion that lets us know that we're being wronged?
Have a great summer guys.

Les Book
Ideasmania
I was thinking of many ideas to make the book work when I was at home. In order for many people to know that Les book exists is to let people try out the book. One way is to give many people the book around the world as a ebook and all they have to do is email Les back and say if they Loved it or not.
Les can also have pod casts around and also have some slides in between the pod casts if its a video format. One thing I have noticed that some business people who write books do well is that they present in front of the Camera and talk about the book and what made them talk about the book. This is due to watching 1000s of videos on You Tube.
I know Les can teach many things and if he was to have pod casts on Law, International Law, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Corporate Social Responsibility and Power. If I knew how to do it all I would help him upload all the videos and use Veoh, YouTube, Meta Cafe and many more free resources for him to use. I also think that the color on the blog has to be the same as the one on the onhavingpower.com
When he talks in front of the camera or when he does the pod casts he can let people go to the website its there so it has to be used I think. By giving people the free book on the blog many people can read it and if they like it it spreads like a virus and hopefully many people like it enough and they will ask Les questions. With Les contacting the listeners if they have questions and he can answer them on the Pod casts.
I think that he can also put videos on the blogs making people who go to the website see the blog and they can put in stuff through using their emails so it will be separate and its like a forum now. He can talk about his passions in life. Music is big in the world and people love talking about it so since Les is a musician he can have pod casts with a intro of his music.
The only way for this idea to work is to believe that it can work and if I get time during the summer if Les is in Peterborough I can help him out a bit because culturally I think people have to know about power. I think the reason why some books do well especially books like the Art of War do well is that its about power but people need to know how Sun Tzu has abilities with power and how he uses Control Influence and Seduction.
These are some of the ideas for his book website and blog to do well. I saw one video on Seth Godin when he says the reason why some ideas do well is that people make a remark about it. The Power course is a remarkable idea. The simplest way to explain remarkable is that people mark a remark about. "Just something to think about".

If everyone had Power
I think this is one of the hardest questions we have ever had to answer so far in this course and its not surprising. If you think about it anyone can get power even if you think that you will have it forever it will end and someone will continue from where you left off. Wouldn't it be interesting if everyone had power because everyone will be equal your needs and my needs will be meant right.
But the problem is that everyone has different abilities of which they can use power on people. Give anyone Power and they will give you their true colors then you see the true person. Sometimes people are very nice without it but give it to them then they do things you never thought were imaginable. Needs and abilities and lastly choices if everyone had power what would happen to choices? This is a Hard question for sure but not hard to see why the world is the way it is. Because everyone has needs and someone wants to be better off than their neighbour so to think of it would everyone ever be equal I don't think so and if it happens I wont be there to see it.
Thanks

Music
Week 12 Class
I was happy that the music class was a success. I enjoyed every single song because it meant a lot to everyone. I think that music has this connection with humans that even though many people study hard to see what happens with our emotions its still hard to describe the emotional investment.
There are a lot of songs I love but looking at it the loves that are my favorite are worth a lot because they got me through rough times. Is anything besides love more powerful than music?
Thanks
