Comment on Blog Maverick

I like reading Mark Cuban's Blog, Blog Maverick. When I read it, I almost always forget that the person writing the blog is a multi-billionaire NBA Owner and Television Entrepreneur. He goes back and forth between preaching motivational sermons and writing about personal things happening in his life--ie. what new Apple product he recently purchased. It allows a dude like me to absorb his sermons since I can identify with a fellow gadget-loving sports nut.

I was reading his blog today and one of his entries really caught my attention. He was saying how the only thing anybody can ever truly control is Effort. Wow, that's seems plainly obvious right? The simplest things always seem to have the most impact. He also dropped another awesomely poignant conclusion: Effort is not measured by the number of hours you spend at the desk being busy.

"Effort is measured by setting goals and getting results."

I guess my level of effort is at an all time low since I don't have any goals to meet. Hmmm...scratch that, I do have a goal of Bringing It for 90 days P90x-style. I really should add some more goals to that list. One hour of p90 a day doesn't say much. Let's up the ante.

Here is a list of things I want to accomplish for the next 90 days.

-P90x: I gotta do this one cuz I don't want to be the one guy who bitched out.
-Rosetta Stone: Do 5 lessons a week. I really want to bolster my Chinese before China executes its plan for world domination
-Check Craigslist, Mandy, and Reality Staff Everyday for potential work.
-Register for that Film editing class and take it seriously. SERIOUSLY...unless I get a full time job.
-Finish reading that Peter Lynch book and throw my money in a fund
-Continue bothering Aeschylus about that sound job in Canada
-Get a business Card done so that I can give one to Webrides TV and hopefully get more work from that goldmine

Oh god, how did this blog entry slowly digress to a "self-motivating list blog entry."

Well now that I've written it, I better BRING IT! X-like of course.
