21 years ago when I was the lonely artist transforming Sumnagashi into a contemporary Painting on Water™. It is great to see many google listings these days.

Few people are aware of the connections between fluid mechanics and this art form. My clients who are engineers totally get the physics, yet they are amazed with the beauty of the images and the ability of their creativity. The right brains are thrilled to learn about the laws of physics. They walked away feeling smart and confident.

That is the best of both world. Get both brains for the prize of one program. Lately, I begin to believe that just might be my calling.

It's never be done before. Could you imagine 400+ people from 28 countries Painting On Water™ together?

We did it at the CPSI 2010, an International Creativity Conference, took place in Buffalo, New York. It was great fun being the guide, engineering the group chaos and orchestrating the team building process.

555

By now, you probably got the email about:

This OCT. has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, all in 1 month. It happens once in 823 years.

Take that 5 and make it fine. Do something for 5 person for no reason.

Make a virtual introduction on line, write a recommendation, gift a compliment or buy a drink (coffee and tea counts). Make someone else's day a little special.

ABZee Tip: Be fine.

Daniel Pink Motivation and Beyond

The world is about to change in a big way.

The brilliant author, Daniel Pink, has found a way to reach the rest of the population about Motivation in this 11 minutes YouTube video,.

Sure the video depicts the concept of motivation from his book. Then again, look beyond the surface and read the comments. Not only does he understand how we think and how we work, he is tapping into how we learn: multi-sensory learning. He is extending his work, one layer upon another, all interrelated and connected.

Comics and Manga artists stand by your phone, or rather, sit by your laptop or hold your iPad and be ready. The world just might beat a path to your door or email box. Your service of rending concepts just got another big stamp of approval. Google does it. United does it. Now Dan Pink does it.

You have seen it in the bathrooms and playrooms. When will the classrooms and boardrooms do it?

ABZee Tip: Words and pictures together worth a trillion.
