On the occasion of Joelle's 10th business anniversary (Sound Resources), we created the following, partly based on some teachings by Oswald Swallow of South Africa, one of my life's guru's. He taught "Choose to have Fun" (it is a choice) and of course, much more. Anyway, your bit on what "focusing attention" might do is what prompted me to share the following:<BR>
<BR>
Choose to have Fun!!<BR>
Fun creates Enjoyment<BR>
Enjoyment invites Participation<BR>
Participation focuses Attention<BR>
Attention expands Awareness<BR>
Awareness promotes Insight<BR>
Insight generates Knowledge<BR>
Knowledge facilitates Action<BR>
Action yields Results.<BR>
<BR>
Therefore: Fun is Results Producing. (Which is one reason why OS works so well, people are having Fun). If one chose, you could have quite a discussion about each line.<BR>
