I thought I heard someone ask “Where On Earth Is Robert?”

To find out click the picture below!

RULES:

1. Only 2.573 guesses per person

2. Do NOT drive and try to make a movie at the same time. Especially in cars with the roof down. Traffic cops can easily see where one of your hands is not. It is poking out above the sunvisor holding a video camera. And this multi-tasking is made specifically difficult in manually operated vehicles. Instead, may I suggest you get a passenger, (any passerby will do), to do the filming. This way the passenger gets to look at the essential buttons and stuff on the camera while you can safely focus on steering the car and doing necessary gearshifts at 80mph or whichever speed suits you.

3. Refer above and/or RTFM

Does a Law on Human Attraction Exist?

“Opposites attract” is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people?

“In a world that is full of strangers” as a line in a famous song of the 1980’s goes, is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other?

Life would be sweeter if at the moment of birth we were presented with $10,000 and our own copy of a user-manual titled “How To Succeed In Life” with a FAQ or knowledgebase to refer to from that moment on.

But the evolved plan of life as we know it, was to see who the fittest among us are and to see how we survive in life and try to rise above the rest of mankind at whatever we choose to do with our one shot at ‘life’. But all is not lost. If you ENGAGE your success values you will improve your chances at succeeding.

Seth Godin is a genius at metaphor. None more so than by applying tribalism to marketing . And I am kicking myself for not picking up on this when for years in Africa I lived in a society where tribalism governed our lives. And nothing outqualifies ‘apartheid’ as being the premier example of tribalism in its worst manifestation at work.

However, what Seth uses tribalism for is for the betterment of society through encouraging leadership in marketing which benefits all peoples directly and indirectly.

Seth Godin has picked up on what Africa gave the world when the world began - “tribes”. The world today is a result of tribal expansionism and individual breakouts from an existing tribe to go off into the wilderness to create and lead one’s own tribe.

Survival of the tribe depended on leadership. And in today’s world, the principle remains as steadfastly paramount as it did when tribal leaders wore a loincloth and battered the heads of invading tribes with a newly adapted tool made of a T-Rex’s dainty femur bone or a shaft of wood with a stone attached at the other end.

Incredible.
