I’ve just begun to read the first book, The First Principles of Pelmanism. It seems it’s primary function is to aid in success in the market place based on the statement, “Today it is the business man with the greater acumen in studying the conditions of the market, the abilities and resources of his competitors; … to whom the world gives its prizes.”

The interesting connection is that in two of the physical examples he uses, the first regarding setting the time table and the second speaking about the things that we know about the mind…his examples are straight out of my current life. The night that I’m not available for any study is Tuesday as many of you know I direct a Sweet Adeline Chorus (women’s barbershop) – Harmony Showcase and it keeps me on my toes. The second example alluded to a student desiring to study a forign language, specifically Russian. So I have the Rosetta Stone course in Russian – and I haven’t gotten very far to date.

There is definitely a sense of - - what? so you’re looking over my shoulder from almost 100 years ago?

Like I said more of an observation than anything else at this point.

Until tomorrow – make it a great day!
