American baseball fans have rituals like the seventh-inning-stretch and the wave; English soccer fans have rituals like the giving-of-the-finger to the opposing supporters.

American sports fans are tame compared to English Premiership fans.

English Football clubs are like tribes. Fans bleed passion for their team and curse it out when things are going poorly.

I always thought it was a bit overly emotional but then you pick a team and you feel the energy. Football (soccer) becomes a part of life.

Mass-Produced Laborers

We all do something that contributes to someone, something, or a company. We all provide a service to each other, directly or indirectly. Someone is at least making decisions that impact the way customers interact with receiving the product from employees.

We’re all workers, separated by different types of tasks, some digital, some that require our feet to be on the ground making stuff at the factory or serving customers within the store.

At the end of the day, we have to work in order to eat and have time to play. We all have to do something in order to survive.

As mass produced laborers, which of us are leaders and which of us are lemmings? Pride is hard to come by. Making decisions from the top and doing the hard hand work below can be equally automated.

How to make a significant impact?

Unplanning

Planning is really a rough sketch of how you want things organized and how you wish them to go. The rest of the time you should be chipping away at your goal.

Plans jumpstart the action engine just like stretching warms you up to exercise.

Plans never pan out exactly how they were designed. They often get tweaked along the way. Flexible plans enable more opportunity while rigid plans impede pivoting.

Planning sets the general guidelines for execution. Move forward and adapt.
