Can friendship be reduced to an algorithm? Yes! Says Sheldon of the Big Bang Theory

October 18th, 2012

One of my kids got me into watching the tv show ‘The Big Bang Theory.’  If you’ve not seen it it’s a bunch of uber, over the top, academically smart students trying to make it in a world of confusingly, erratic, unscientific, unpredictable, human behaviour.

The Heart Life Lens™ world of subtle emotions & intuitive hits can seem like foreign territory to an extremer Head Life Lens™ (like Sheldon).

One of my favourite examples of this is a clip when the most over the top academic, named Sheldon, tries to reduce friendship to an algorithm.  It’s funny stuff.  You can see the short clip here (embedding was disabled so you have to click to see).

What about you – what’s more foreign to you?  The world of the heart or the world of the head?

What’s your key to life? And would your 5 year old self agree?

October 12th, 2012

“When I was 5 years old, my mom told me that happiness was the key to life.
 
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
 
I wrote down ‘happy’.
 
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.
 
I told them they didn’t understand life.”

Wise words, likely from a Heart Life Lens™.

This came to me from my dear friend & colleague Dolly Hopkins.  While I can’t confirm the author, whoever wrote it knew what they were talking about.

Success is not always what you see (from one carrot to another)

October 4th, 2012

This cartoon from Emotionz via my colleague Jules Andre-Brown, had me laughing out loud. It’s such a great illustration of the difference between a Carrot Life Lens™ & a Mountain Life Lens™.

Mountains may miss the depth of Carrot systems, while Carrots may miss the view from above that Mountains have.

Which view are you most comfortable with?

We’re laying it bare. Stripping it down. Peeking in on & playing with perspective.

In this monthly round up you’ll find the Life Lenses™ blog posts laid bare for the month of September. I was lean on the posts this month so there are just a couple to review.

Get bare, dive in deep and take a full look around or simply take a peek. It’s up to you. Regardless, your perspective will thank you.
