Trust and the Consumer

Some more thinking on trust:

Building trust, creating relationship is slow, laborious. Counterpoint:  it’s erosion is fast, with frightening speed. Years to build and moments to ruin.

As an entrepreneur, one must be ever vigilant against this erosion of trust. The downward slope is far steeper than the assent. When your customer feels commodified, that they’re ONLY a revenue stream for you, the connection will be destroyed.

A haiku

This sums up my feelings about life right now. Seen lots of frustration, fear and anger today. I wonder how to move forward. That’s often the bold challenge, seeking to move past animosity. 
Today’s anger spent
I seek to make things better
Progressing forwards.

Winter

Cold wetness seeps in. 
Clothing’s heaviness intense. 
Seattle’s winter.

Being Human

Funny humans,
The only part of this
Universe that flails
And rages, expecting
Full control of this
Immensity.

Meditation on Greatness

One cannot achieve greatness 
Adhering to the status quo.  
Mediocrity, numbing the 
Quiet desperation, drifting 
Through life barely creates 
Fertilizer for poppies.
