Whining isn't a scalable solution.
I have been getting a daily dose of Seth Godin emailed to me. Seth has some pretty wise words of wisdom and today's ended with this: " Whining isn't a scalable solution."

He talked in today's post about how in the past decade our lives have changed dramatically. AND how we are slow to change. We want things to be as they have been and they are not. So it requires us to not just follow along as we always have done. Change is messy and inconvenient and requires us to adapt however that may look for each of us.
If change is inevitable, and I think it is, we need to change along with it and not whine, instead work on how to make the change better than what we have today. My 2 cents.

When your phone dies
So I went to use my IPhone today and poof, it's dead. So weird. No sign of it going to die or anything. I happened to be by the AT&T store in Williston and had to buy a new one. My customer service guy, Michael, was really nice and helped me to get a new phone. He said he has dealt with 1000’s of IPhones and only 3-4 has he seen just die like this. Gee, I feel special. Was it just a bad technology karma day? I stayed with the IPhone3. They were only $50. I really love my IPhone and it wasn’t until I had it no longer that I realized how much. I am SURE my Friends with Words (I am Jeanvt if you want to play) were wondering when I was going to play back to them. It had me worried. Does this call for therapy?!
Anyway, so I got the new phone in less than ½ hour and got home and synced it with my ITunes account and all was good. I had synced my phone less than a week ago so I hardly lost a thing. So just a friendly reminder to backup your data, be it a netbook, laptop, desktop computer, IPad, IPhone or whatever device you have grown to love because you never know when it is going to go down the tubes fast and knowing you have not lost all your important files, phone numbers, apps, podcasts, whatever is really really comforting with it does occur!
Take away? Backup, Backup, Backup.....Now, please? You can thank me later.
