I have to mention yesterday I was reading articles in the Wall Street Journal and the AppleInsider during my airport time and or a lack of a better words right now there was an article that pissed me off.

I guess in a good way because on the flight to Phoenix, I got this really great idea for a business that I pretty sure no one has thought of before or I would have already seen it.

Now I really need to bend time, get support from Family and Friends, to get my MBA finished by June and have this up and running before then, God and the Spirits willing.

So with exercising, studying and working on this project, (sorry I can’t talk about it yet, don’t want to give away the goodies) and family I guess I am going to live a Spartan life.

Discipline and time mastery

Exciting times, and these four quote by 3 famous men are the makings of an inspiring day.

“Did you ever observe to whom the accidents happen? Chance favors only the prepared mind.” – Louis Pasteur. (Shorten version, Luck favors the prepared mind)

“When you work seven days a week, fourteen hours a day, you get lucky.”

“We will either find a way or make one” Hannibal (Hannibal’s feat in crossing the Alps with war elephants passed into European legend: a fresco detail, ca. 1510, Capitoline Museums, Rome, incase any one out there is confused who Hannibal is)

“The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Not to meant some great music to get your mood on the right side of excellent.

So after a quick 45 minute nap to recharge the batteries, I started doing more chores things I have needed to get done.

Though I would like to study, and which I should study this is a chance to get so extra things done that I normally would be flying into Phoenix.

I also started doing some extra research, I know like I don’t have enough things going on already but research is fun keeps the mind active.

I also have this handy little program that converts and scanned document into a usable word document. Read Iris, which is just a fabulous tool they also have a scan pen Iris Pen 6, which I also have that has helped me so much with notes, I don’t need to highlight just use the pen and it scans right into Word.

Which I think will be very helpful to students everywhere. Have a scanned document, convert it to text then save a PDF, send it to an eReader of your choice. Hopefully mine will be the iPad  by Apple when it comes out.

Take it with you and read, my back is so happy. I love book truly do but try carrying around textbooks and other reading material, my bag for books must weigh 40 pounds. Ouch!

Plus all the other stuff I need to take with me on my trips, I really live most of my days these past years in a suitcase, more so because of being back on reserves and commuting.

It is getting late and I need to get some sleep so I can get up and take the 9:00 a.m. flight to Phoenix.

Yesterday, I must have read through 300 pages of downloads concerning ESO (employee stock options), footnote disclosure verse financial recognition, and why companies like to give stock options as forms of compensation. My head was swimming is an accountants nightmare.

But I mustered up finished those plus a few other chores that need to get done, you know life still goes on. Just because I am in school, life  doesn’t stop though I would like it to. So I ended up getting to sleep around 2:00 a.m.

You would think that I would be able to crank out these essays, the great writer that I am. I have been working all day, well not quite I have taken time for chores, a nice afternoon walk (to clear my head) and food of course (fuel for the brain).

It is after 11:00 p.m. and the first essay complete, but I will wait till the morning to submit it, I like to have down time, to read it one last time for corrections before sending it off. I have learned that staring at something for hours upon hours, everything blends. Downtime, away from the essay give my brain time to process what I have been writing and to see any mistakes.

But I am happy I just need all day tomorrow, to finish the next essay I am hoping scheduling just assigns me a evening 4 day trip on Saturday.

So me, my trusty MacBook Pro and my endless music can crank out another essay.

Needless to say I still have chore left to do tonight, and many in the morning in preparation for leaving to commute into Phoenix. If I have to go in I am not going till the 3:35 p.m. of the 5:15 p.m. flight, I already have enough stress trying to invade my life I don’t need self inflicted stress too.

Tonight I met a fellow WGU student Lee, actually him found me through the web, a MBA student also a class behind me, but none the less someone with the same dreams. Finish your MBA, at the same time that you are working a full-time job.

I wish him the best, and hope to say in touch.

So I am getting tired and have many things I need to finish, tonight and tomorrow.

I will talk with you in a few hours let see what LUCK the White Tiger brings me.

I am writing now because I should and the Skillsoft lessons took a dump, it always has been stopping, like most university or programs for universities it is built on old technology. Pearsons says you need to use Internet Explore 6.0, come on, that is so out dated.

So I was surprise to read that Pearson has announced an iPad reader app

which is good because what they have now is just doesn’t cut it in the world of online education.

Also all these publishers need to get a clue about charging $110.00 for an online digital copy of a text book.

As I have been doing homework trying to finish this class, I have signed up for the Apple iPhone and iPad developers SDK. I got some great ideas, that maybe I can make an app out of.

So I am going to get some sleep I have tomorrow to be able to really get some work done.

WOW a lot of airport appreciation.

So after getting here it is about 7:30 p.m. so I am going to just relax. I don’t really feel like doing anything. After spending over 18 hours working and going home.

Plus I have to work again tomorrow, everyday for over 2 weeks. At least I don’t have to commute in tomorrow.

I can sleep in.
