BASIC  CONCEPTS

"There are a few basic  concepts, but think of the metaphors."

I like that saying about metaphors and have through the years.

And from time to time I like to list some of the basic concepts I have come up with so far - concepts that could use a metaphor.  Here are a few first draft concepts - hoping for a metaphor.

1) There is a world of difference between hearing about something or someone than experiencing something or someone.

2) There are two kinds of people: the givers and the takers.

3) There are two kinds of people: those who notice what's missing and those who notice what's there.

4) Everyone is a Columbus, a Madam Curie, an Einstein, an Admiral Perry, they have to discover their America - their cure - their formula or their Pole.

5) Everyone has a parable, they have to discover which one is theirs.

6) The present moment is no longer present.

7) There are different  kinds of persons: listeners and dogmaticians, those who use question marks and those who use periods.

8) We'll never understand the other person..

9) There are two kinds of persons: those who bend and break and those who bend and don't.

10) Every road leads to Calvary.

11) It's all about buying and selling.

12) There are mosquitoes and there are alligators.  Both want the same thing - but they go about it so differently.

13) Timing, timing, timing, location, location, location - you can't avoid time and place.

14) Those who don't wonder and don't ponder and don't question and never scratch their head, might as well be dead.

15) Some people are never satisfied - even when they are offered an ice cream cone - or a glass of cold water.
