Salutations!
It is now 5:40 PM EST for me. Before I begin the next idea I want to give to you, I want to give you 5 ‘prep up’ ideas designed to help you prepare for it. The 1st idea I call ‘Change my perspective’, the 2nd idea I call ‘Diversity and obligation’. It was originally in one of the ideas that I deleted. There was nothing wrong with that idea. It was part of a list, and I wanted to delete that list. The 3rd idea is from the movie ‘Presumed Innocent’. I don’t have a name for it, but it has an obvious purpose. The 4th idea I call Heart rate and adrenaline’. I got the idea from an episode of ‘Discovery of Witches’. The 5th idea I call ’30 lacks’. It’s an example for idea ‘Not enough/lack/not adequate’, an idea I started to type in in Wishlist #1173, but I did not give you an explanation for it. I invented this explanation earlier today, after I came home from the public laundromat. It is made from the movie ‘The Upside(2017)’ and an episode of ‘Casual’. Since I”m typing in 5 ideas in this list, after I explain those ideas, I’m going to proofread and close this list, and start the new idea tomorrow in a new list.
Just a quick update, I got the epidural for the lower right side of my back yesterday. I felt pretty good afterwards. Soon after I got back home, I went to a public restaurant and ate a steak well done. Since it was still early, I was able to get the steak, but the baked potatoes were not ready yet for that restaurant, so I ordered french fries instead. I’m not supposed to take a shower 24 hours after the epidural. Since that time has lapsed, instead of 24 hours, I plan to add another day to that. I’ll take a shower tomorrow instead. Since there’s a reason why I should wait 24 hours until I can take a shower, I guess I can add another day to be on the safe side. The doctor that I go to specializes in Sports Medicine, and someone from where I work also goes to him. I originally found him in the internet. The doctor and his team have a convincing web site, and one of his offices is convenient to get to. I didn’t ask anyone where I work about him. I just happened to meet someone from work, since we both had the same appointment. I don’t think I’ll have any more problems with my back any time soon, maybe in a year or 2. If my back situation does get more problematic, based on my decision, I plan to see the doctor that does that ‘Non-Traumatic Discectomy’, and maybe if that doctor agrees, that procedure can treat my lower back problem. I mentioned that in Wishlist #1099.
The music video I chose for this list is for the song ‘Cold In La’ by American pop boy band ‘Why Don’t We’. The group has a link in www.wikipedia.org, but based on the information I am looking for, it doesn’t say much. Here’s a quote from wikipedia:
‘ The band has toured with many artists such as Shawn Mendes and the Chainsmokers. ‘
Here’s a quote from a review from web site soundigest.com about the song ‘Cold In LA’:
‘ The band describes the feeling of being with that person as warmth, cleverly comparing their emotions to the warm temperatures that Los Angeles is known for. That said, being away from that particular person leaves them feeling cold and empty, and honestly, we’ve all been there. ‘
And, based on my opinion from watching the entire music video for the 1st time earlier today, that’s what it shows. It depicts obvious special effects of being cold in LA, which represents a separation from a loved one, depicted by a young woman, and when that woman comes back, the cold melts away. Well, that’s what I thought the music video was showing.
Here is a quote from the lyrics of ‘Cold In LA’:
Don’t walk away
‘Cause it’s cold in LA
Every time that you leave me behind
Just stay at my place
‘Cause I can tell by the way
You’re lookin’ at me, you’ll be fine
I found the music video ‘Cold In LA’ from an associated search. I looked in category ‘Music’ from www.youtube.com in category ‘Popular Music Videos’, which is it’s last category in the page. ‘Popular Music Videos’ has 200 music videos. The group ‘Why Don’t We’ was listed as #188. I did another search for other music videos that group did by searching for phrase ‘why dont we’ again in www.youtube.com, and that’s how I found ‘Cold In LA’. The music video has over 5 million views, and it was published Feb 16, 2019, about 3 months ago. If you choose to watch the music video, I believe that it is a relaxing music video to watch.

Change my perspective:
Idea ‘Change my perspective’ is made with 2 illustrations from the animated tv show ‘The Simpsons’. According to Amazon.com, the 1st illustration is in episode 9.3 ‘Lisa the Simpson’ from tv show ‘The Simpsons(1998)’. In that scene, Lisa is going through a perspective crisis after Bart and Homer encouraged her to eat candy they hid in the couch. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 12 minutes and 14 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:
Homer: ‘Marge, we need 5000 cc’s of snacks, STAT!(medical tv show terminology)
Marge: ‘No snacks! Dinner will be ready in 3 minutes.’
All said together: ‘OH!’
Lisa: ‘If she started dinner three minutes earlier, we wouldn’t be in this mess.’
Bart: ‘Relax, Lis. Dad and I always have a ‘Plan B’ ‘
Homer opens one of the couch cushions, and loads of chocolate bars fall to the floor. Homer and Bart then proceed to eat them.
Bart: ‘Pretty neat, huh?’
Lisa: ‘But all those candy bars are all squished and melted.’
Bart and Homer: ‘Wha?’
Homer: ‘Come on, Lisa. Join your family.’
Lisa goes on her knees and tries to eat a squished and melted chocolate bar.
Skipping a scene, the quote starts 13 minutes and 33 seconds into the episode:
Lisa: ‘No!’
Bart: ‘No’ what?’
Lisa: ‘I don’t want to turn out that way.’
Homer: ‘What way, angel pie?’
Lisa: ‘Like you!’ (Lisa then runs away to her room.)
Later, Marge, Homer, and Bart are at the dinner table.
Marge: ‘Lisa, come on. Your tomato soup is getting a skin on top.’
Homer: ‘Fine. She doesn’t get her skin.’
Bart: ‘Lisa insulted us, mom. She thinks she is so great.’

The 2nd ‘Simpsons’ episode is near end of episode 30.6 ‘From Russia Without Love’ from animated tv show ‘The Simpsons(2018)’. In that scene, Moe is about to get married to Anastasia Alekova(Ksenia Solo). The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 18 minutes and 7 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:
Moe: ‘Ana, is this true?’
Anastasia: ‘No. It’s just another one of their stupid pranks. My sweet Moe, there is no way to fake what we have.’
Moe: ‘Oh, I can’t do it. I-I just, I can’t risk another heartbreak. I’m… I’m sorry.’
Skipping ahead to 18 minutes and 38 seconds into the episode:
Moe: ‘Ana, what about you?’
Anastasia: (with Midwestern accent) ‘I’m not Russian at all. I’m from Columbus, Ohio.’
Moe: ‘Ana, you’re a scam artist.’
Skipping ahead to 19 minutes and 7 seconds into the episode:
Anastasia: (with no accent) ‘Fine. I’ll find another man and give him what he dreams of. I just have to, uh…(with French accent) …speak a little like this. (with Scottish accent) or maybe Scottish, like…’
Willie: ‘Oh, do my ears deceive me? Are you from the Highlands?’
Anastasia: ‘Aye. Between Inverness and the Moray Firth.’
So, here’s the story: If you are an adult, your job may have taught you or made available to you convenient perspectives so that you can do your job. For example, there was episode 3.13 ‘Wilderness + Training + Survival’ in action tv show ‘Macgyver(2019)’ where Mac, Riley, and Bozer go on a weekend of survival training. That was just an illustration example I can think of. I was thinking more along the lines of a sci-fi tv show like ‘Buck Rogers’. Also, college graduates may be given a job that will really be changing their perspectives, which I think is normal. Their parents may visit them from time to time to check on their progress, as those college graduates are being trained by their new jobs. However, if you are a kid or teenager, and since it is 2019, it’s possible that you are exploring perspectives that can re-define how you perceive your family and friends, and not for the better, since you are learning such perspectives on your own. That’s why I offered you the ‘Lisa the Simpson’ illustration. You don’t want to lose control as to how you perceive your family and friends, how you perceive others in your primary perspective lifestyle. You might end up seeing them like Lisa sees her family in that scene.
I recommend that you should practice shuffling perspectives, so that you can learn other perspectives, and be able to go back to your original ‘home’ perspective. So, to give you an example of that, I offer you those scenes from episode ‘From Russia Without Love’, how Anastasia Alekova does it. I’m not recommending that you become her. I just want you to have an example of a person that is able to change his/her perspective.

[Wow, it’s already 8:09 PM EST for me. I’m going to finish this list early tomorrow. If I have to, if it takes too long for me to find yet another music video, I’m just going to throw one in. Of course, I plan to close this list by tomorrow and also start the next list by tomorrow. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

Salutations!
It is now 9:08 AM EST for me. It took me what seemed like over an hour, but for this list, I recommend music video ‘So Am I’ by American singer Ava Max. I found that music video from the 1st page when you type in www.youtube.com. It’s 10 categories down, the category called ‘#RedMusic’. It was originally in that category, but I think it moved. So, to find it again, I had to click the word ‘#RedMusic’, and in ‘#RedMusic’s home page, it was in category ‘Recent activities’, and where I found music video ‘So Am I’ was in selection ‘Top 100 Today’s Most Listened Songs – May 2019’. The song was listed at #61. I looked at the previews of all of those songs, and then I finally chose the music video ‘So Am I’. I’ve seen that music video preview before in other previews, but since I spent so much time in this preview, I decided to choose ‘So Am I’ because of it’s synchronized dancing. There were inadequacies involved, so to speak, reasons why I would not choose that music video to be recommended, but the synchronized dancing allowed me to keep watching it.
Here are a few quotes from www.wikipedia.org:
‘ Max has said the song is about what makes people unique and different from each other. ‘
‘ Billboard called the song a “bouncy, pop-heavy anthem” with lyrics about “navigating your adolescent years”. ‘
And here is a quote from lyrics ‘So Am I’:
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it’s okay to be different
‘Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I-I)
The music video premiered Mar 7, 2019, about 2 1/2 months ago, and already it has over 42 million views! Even though I don’t like the music video that much, I try to give credit where credit is due.
Diversity and obligation:
It’s now 9:35 AM for me. Here’s the ‘Diversity and obligation’ idea in the form of a story: For one particular project, the boss/supervisor has 12 teams, each pitching different project approaches. You may imagine 12 people in a photograph all individually pointing in different directions. Each person in the photo is pointing at one thing, but no one is pointing at the same thing. and you could imagine them like you were zooming in on them or separating them. What I mean is, if you want to see them all in one image, you can squish them together, or give them more space as they all point at something else. Their pointing represents their team’s individual pitching approach. Now, when the boss/supervisor finally chooses one project approach, all of the other teams, in spite of their differences, will have to choose to support/work with that chosen approach. This method allows the teams to develop their sense of diversity and obligation.

I have no name for this idea. It’s an exercise to help balance more how you experience mild to moderate instigation. When you use this exercise, which involves a casual imagining of people, you don’t have to imagine just instigators. I recommend that, for example, when you are in a public bus, you imagine people that are in that bus that you choose to imagine to be involved in that exercise. If it makes you feel better, within reason, imagine just about anyone you want to to be involved in this exercise.
This exercise involves a refurbished scene from the movie ‘Presumed Innocent(1990)’, starring Harrison Ford as Rusty Sabich, and Raul Julia as Sandy Stern. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com as a rental and purchase, and according to Amazon.com, that scene starts 58 minutes and 56 seconds into the movie, Sandy Stern is talking to Rusty Sabich about the fact that Rusty chose Sandy to be his lawyer. Here is the quote:
Sandy Stern: ‘I’m flattered that you want me to represent you in this matter. You have been, my, uh, toughest adversary.’
So, basically, instead of Sandy Stern, you imagine anyone else, such as an instigator from school or work that you have minor problems with, or someone sharing the bus with you, etc, and that instigator has agreed to represent you as a lawyer. And to start you off, that instigator says to you quote:
instigator: ‘You have been, my, uh, toughest adversary.’
With the movie helping you a little, you may imagine that you are a lawyer, and that instigator for a short moment being your opposing lawyer for several cases, and you chose that instigator because you believe that he/she can represent you very well because of his/her resourcefulness. One reason why you may feel better when you imagine using this exercise is because you’re acknowledging a certain resourcefulness that the instigator has. Let me explain. Based on my experience extrapolated and using imagination, when you are working with an instigator, as you experience a minor instigation from that instigator, your ability to acknowledge the resourcefulness of that instigator also wanes. Although I only imagine this situation, I find it ironic and insulting that instigators blame their victims for not acknowledging their job related resourcefulness, when in reality it’s their obvious instigations inflicted upon innocent people that causes those innocent people to have a waning sense to not be able to acknowledge the job related resourcefulness of an instigator.
Since I’m just using words, tv shows, movies, etc. to teach you these ideas, an entertaining illustration this past Sunday, May 19, when my lower right side of my back was bothering me, since staying in bed may make it worse, I chose to stay on my feet for over 4 hours that day. During that time, I basically just fast forwarded through seasons 2-4 of tv show ‘Casual(2015-2018)’, starring Tommy Dewey as Alex Cole. They were available streaming from Amazon.com. I set up the laptop by adding boxes underneath it so that I can watch it standing up. I’m not recommending that you watch the show for this blog, and the show does have mature themes. I did not watch any episode in it’s entirety. I only fast forward to scenes that I thought were interesting to watch. This is the 1st time that I looked through seasons 2-4. Anyway, there is a scene in one of the episodes where one of the main characters, Laura Meyers(Tara Lynne Barr), is choosing to recognize a certain resourcefulness/characteristic of certain pedestrians in order to get them to sign a petition. I thought you may want to have an illustration example of someone making an obvious declaration of someone else’s resourcefulness, refurbished for advice, of course. That scene is in episode 3.5 ‘Look at Me’ from tv show ‘Casual(2017)’. I’ll quote some of the things that she has said to certain pedestrians. That scene starts, according to Amazon Video, 5 minutes and 2 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:
Laura Meyers: (talking to a girl) ‘Aren’t you just the cutest! (talking to the mom) ‘What’s her name?’
Mom: ‘Oh, Holly.’
Laura Meyers: ‘No way. That’s my mom’s name.’
Mom: ‘Oh, really?’
Laura Meyers: ‘Yeah, after Buddy Holly.’
Mom: ‘I love Buddy Holly.’
Laura Meyers: ‘Me, too.’
Mom: ‘Hey, okay. I know you’ve been talking to Tracy(Jeremy Lawson) here, but would you mind signing my petition sheet? You know, I’m just trying to prove to my mom that I can do this. You know, and it would just mean a lot to me.’
Mom: ‘Of course. Good for you for taking the initiative.’
Laura Meyers: (talking to girl) ‘Whoa, those are some cool shoes. They’re kind of like mine, only yours are sparkly, which makes them way cooler. I’m jealous.’ (talking to mom) ‘Thank you. Really appreciate it.’
Mom: ‘No problem.’
Laura: ‘Bye, Holly!’
Tracy: ‘Have a great day.’

The next scene starts 5 minutes and 57 seconds into the episode. This is where several examples of Laura acknowledging the resourcefulness of others occur:
Laura: (talking to pedestrian geared up to ride a bike) ‘Wow, bikes always remind me of my dad. Hey, will you sign this petition?’
Laura: (talking to another pedestrian) ‘Wow, that’s a great shirt.’
Laura: (talking to two women) ‘I mean, like, Arizona in August. You can’t even wear black. That’s LA in 20 years if we don’t get to work.’
Laura: (talking to man) ‘Is global warming a Chinese conspiracy? I’m not a scientist. But if you sign this, I get 65 cents, and it’ll help get rid of my awful tattoo.’
So, going back to the ‘Presumed Innocent’ example, to feel better from time to time, just imagine that instigator or whoever being that lawyer that you want to represent you in court. Have that instigator say quote:
instigator or whoever: ‘You have been, my, uh, toughest adversary.’
or something like that, just imagine the meaning, you don’t have to imagine the words, and that’s the exercise. You should feel better when doing that exercise. Just choose the instigators that have instigated you for only mild to moderate situations. In other words, only choose instigators for this exercise that you believe will actually benefit you when you imagine them being your lawyer, and of course you can choose other people as well who have not instigated you.

Heart rate and adrenaline:
Here is the definition of the word ‘adrenaline’ from www.dictionary.com: ‘a hormone that is secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress and increases heart rate, pulse rate, and blood pressure, and raises the blood levels of glucose and lipids.’, and ‘adrenaline plays a very large role in the fight or flight reaction, which refers to the various processes that occur within the body when it is confronted with some form of mental or physical stress.’
I invented idea ‘Heart rate and adrenaline’ from a scene in episode 1.2 from tv series ‘A Discovery of Witches(2019)’. In that scene, Diana Bishop(Teresa Palmer), who has the potential to be the most powerful witch alive, is asking help from an old vampire named Matthew Clairmont(Matthew Goode). Here is a copy of the premise of the show from www.wikipedia.org:
‘ Diana Bishop, a historian and reluctant witch, unexpectedly discovers a bewitched manuscript in Oxford’s Bodelian Library. This discovery forces her back into the world of magic in order to unravel the secrets it holds about magical beings. She is offered help by mysterious geneticist and vampire, Matthew Clairmont. Despite a long-held mistrust between witches and vampires they form an alliance and set out to protect the book and solve the mysteries hidden within while dodging threats from the creature world. ‘
Episode 1.2 of ‘A Discovery of Witches’ is available streaming from Amazon.com. If you have cable tv, you should also have that episode available On Demand, but you may not be able to fast forward to that scene. The scene, according to Amazon Video, starts 31 minutes and 50 seconds into the episode, Diana Bishop is asking help from Matthew Clairmont. The quote is made using the ‘Subtitles’ option on from the browser:
Diana Bishop: (Diana’s heart beat is beating rapidly) ‘You were right about creatures coming to look for the book. Peter Knox from the Congregation. And there was this Scandinavian witch. I don’t know — I don’t know who she was.’
Matthew Clairmont: (Matthew is still hearing Diana’s rapidly beating heart) ‘Try to calm down. Your adrenaline is very high.’
Diana Bishop: ‘You can smell my adrenaline?’
Matthew Clairmont: ‘Of course I can.’ (heartbeat slowing)
Diana Bishop: (Exhales deeply)
Matthew Clairmont: ‘Thank you. Why did you come to me? Last time I saw you, you said you never wanted to see me again.’
Diana Bishop: ‘I have no one else to talk to.’
Matthew Clairmont: ‘You must have friends.’
Diana Bishop: ‘None I can trust.’

Before I watched that scene, I planned to explain an idea I call ‘Panic’, but I found it difficult to explain, difficult to quantify in order for men to use it. What I mean is, I don’t think women have trouble articulating when they experience a sense of panic. However, after watching that ‘A Discovery of Witches’ scene, I can now quantify something that both men and women can relate to, heart beat and adrenaline. Keep in mind that Diana is just asking Matthew for help. Even though in later episodes, they both choose to be in a relationship, for that scene, nothing has happened between them, like a patient consulting with a doctor. That means, if you choose to, you should be able to easily use that scene on anyone without refurbishing it that much. Here’s how to use it: If you believe you are experiencing some sort of minor instigation that is affecting somewhat your heart rate and adrenaline use, you just have to feel that it is, the experience doesn’t have to actually noticeably affect your heart rate and adrenaline use, maybe it just bothers you in a way that this advice may help you, you can just imagine Matthew Clairmont saying to you quote:
Matthew Clairmont: ‘Heart rate and adrenaline.’
That’s Matthew trying to help you calm down. If you are in a bus or some public establishment, and it’s safe to do so, you may even imagine Matthew Clairmont being there, and it is implied that he already said those words to you. There are so many different variations of instigation. Perhaps this exercise can help you with some? of those variations. I highly recommend that you watch that scene, in order to improve the effectiveness of this exercise.

30 Lacks:
As I said in the beginning of this list, it’s an example for idea ‘Not enough/lack/not adequate’, an idea I started to type in in Wishlist #1173, but I did not give you an explanation for it. I’ll start by giving you the illustrations 1st, and then I’ll explain the idea. The 1st illustration starts near the beginning of movie ‘The Upside(2017)’, starring Kevin Hart as Dell Scott. According to the dvd/Blu-ray mail service I am using, Blu-ray movie ‘The Upside’ was mailed to me 5/20/19. I watched it for the 1st time on 5/23/19, and I mailed it back yesterday. I’m going to quote several scenes from the beginning of the movie. The movie is available as a streaming rental and streaming purchase from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, the 1st quote starts 5 minutes and 20 seconds into the movie, Dell Scott is talking to his parole officer, Pamela Davis(Kimberly S. Fairbanks).
Parole officer: ‘Where are the signatures?’
Dell Scott: ‘I’ve been looking. Trust me.’
Parole officer: ‘I’m not paid to trust you. Do you want to go back to prison?’
Dell Scott: ‘I didn’t belong in prison.’
Parole officer: ‘You need to prove you’re looking for work.’
Dell Scott: ‘I am. It’s just that the leads the computer keeps choosing for me, they’re not for me. The computer don’t know me. You don’t know me.’
Parole officer: ‘Well, I know you, Mr. Scott, and you need 3 signatures by tomorrow, or you can tell it to the judge.’
5 minutes and 54 seconds into the movie, Dell Scott goes for his 1st job. His original goal is to just get the signatures. However, the idea is that you’re supposed to try to get the job. If you can’t get the job, then they will give Dell Scott his signature. Here is the quote:
(There are no subtitles available for me for this movie from Amazon.com, so I’m just doing it by what I’m able to hear.)
Fast food manager(Tatiana St. Phard): ‘What does great? customer service mean to you?’
Dell Scott: ‘Doing the right thing, I don’t know.’
Fast food manager: ‘Tell me about a time when you worked hard to solve a problem.’
Dell Scott: ‘This morning. Getting up.’
Fast food manager: ‘Do you even want to work here?’
Dell Scott: ‘I just need a signature.’
Fast food manager: (gives him a signature)
6 minutes 13 seconds into the movie, Dell Scott applies for his 2nd job:
Data processing supervisor(Rachel Alana Handler): ‘Don’t give up.’ (Later, she gives him a signature)
6 minutes 24 seconds into the movie, Dell Scott applies for his 3rd job. Here’s a copy from the ‘Plot’ category from www.wikipedia.org as to what happened during that interview:
‘ …the recently paroled Dell is ordered to obtain signatures to prove he is seeking a job. He visits various workplaces, including the penthouse home of Philip(Bryan Cranston), a wealthy quadriplegic. Philip, with his assistant Yvonne Pendleton (Nicole Kidman), is interviewing candidates for the position of his “life auxiliary” caregiver. Dell barges in and demands a signature for his parole officer. Intrigued, Philip offers him the job, but Dell declines. ‘
The next quote starts 24 minutes and 9 seconds into the movie, Yvonne is about to give Dell Scott the ‘3 Strikes’ rule when working with Philip Lacasse. The scene starts 24 minutes and 9 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:
Dell Scott: ‘Well, he don’t seem to think these the wrong hands. He picked them.’
Yvonne: ‘And why do you think he picked you?’
Dell Scott: ‘Because I’m the best candidate.’
Yvonne: ‘Because you were the worst candidate by far. Let’s just call this what it is. It’s a game. And this game, you get 3 strikes. That’s the agreement I made with him.’
—
The 2nd scene is in episode 2.5 ‘Bicycle Thieves’ from comedy tv show ‘Casual(2016)’. Alex Cole is talking to his partner and boss Jordan Anderson(Vincent Kartheiser), a venture capitalist. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 12 minutes and 18 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote, edited for advice:
Jordan Anderson: ‘Dude.’
Alex Cole: ‘What?’
Jordan Anderson: ‘It’s 11:30.’
Alex Cole: ‘Maybe I don’t like coming in at 9:00, okay? Maybe I think it’s a holdover for when children worked 16 hours a day at the smelting mill.’
Jordan Anderson: ‘Okay, man, what’s going on with you?’
Alex Cole: ‘You’ve been on my back all week, and it’s getting tired.’
Jordan Anderson: ‘Seriously?’
Alex Cole: ‘Yeah, seriously. And I know Sarah told you some big story about us, but it doesn’t mean you have to treat me like a leper.’
Jordan Anderson: ‘Okay, yeah. Sarah told me you dated, and all she said was that you had a nice relationship, until some stuff went down with your family.’
Alex Cole: ‘Wait, what?’
Jordan Anderson: ‘But you know what, Alex? I don’t care. Okay? I knew your reputation before I came on board, and it didn’t stop me.’
Alex Cole: ‘What reputation?’
Jordan Anderson: (chuckles) ‘Come on, man. You can’t be that naive.’
Alex Cole: ‘Are we cool?’
Jordan Anderson: ‘We’re business partners. Let’s just shoot for, uh, civil.’
—
The idea I invented called ’30 lacks’ is based on what Jordan Anderson said to Alex Cole. Here is the phrase:
‘ Jordan Anderson: ‘But you know what, Alex? I don’t care. Okay? I knew your reputation before I came on board, and it didn’t stop me.’ ‘
So this is how it starts. Since this idea is an example for idea ‘Not enough/lack/not adequate’, I’m going to use the word ‘lack’ to identify a rejection, a disqualification, something that is deemed unacceptable. The example for ‘lack’ starts near the beginning of movie ‘The Upside’. Dell Scott needs 3 signatures to give his parole officer, and so, in the 1st job he applies for, he causes the fast food manager to have a ‘lack’ so that he can get his signature. In the 2nd job Dell Scott applies for, he also causes the data processing supervisor to have a ‘lack’ so that he can get his signature. But in the 3rd job Dell Scott applies for, he eventually chooses to work there. However, Yvonne, his supervisor, said that if he gets 3 ‘lacks’, she has the authority to fire him. Yvonne originally called them ‘3 strikes’, but I converted the ‘strikes’ into ‘lacks’.
And that is when I used the scene, ‘Bicycle Thieves’, from tv show ‘Casual’, that quote:
‘ Jordan Anderson: ‘But you know what, Alex? I don’t care. Okay? I knew your reputation before I came on board, and it didn’t stop me.’ ‘
And this is what I imagined Jordan Anderson did to achieve that perspective, that ‘I don’t care. Okay? I knew your reputation before I came on board, and it didn’t stop me.’ perspective. The movie ‘The Upside’ presented a very short fuse. Even when Dell Scott chose to work for Philip Lacasse, Yvonne only gave him 3 ‘lacks’. If he acquired 3 ‘lacks’, he would get fired. Now, in Jordan Anderson’s case, I imagined him giving all of his employees 30 ‘lacks’, but these lacks are non instigation related, and even though these lacks are seriously obvious in his mind, he doesn’t allow those lacks to be an issue for his employees to do their jobs. That’s why he acts so cheery in the beginning episodes of his tv show appearance. And, of course, he never actually brings those lacks up to the attention of anyone. In fact, the only time an employee brought even a few of them up as it pertains to that employee was that scene in episode ‘Bicycle Thieves’. Alex Cole is the 1st employee/business partner to actually bring a few of those lacks to the attention of Jordan Anderson.
I believe that what I imagined Jordan Anderson did, that ’30 lacks’ trick, could allow you to more tenably experience unavoidable instigation, since, if you use that idea, you already have experience not making an issue ’30 lacks’ that are not instigation related. So, for example, if you use the ’30 lacks’ idea, you allow the students in your school or the employees in your job to have 30 obvious lacks, and these lacks are not used as an issue as it relates to working with them, or going to school with them, just like refurbished for advice Jordan Anderson did. Keep in mind that, when you use this idea, you should not expect other people to actually bring it to your attention, since those 30 lacks are just used as part of your private technique strategy, and is not meant to be presented to others. And if an employee or another student bring a few of their lacks to your attention? The effectiveness of the idea is what matters, how you use it. And, of course, you don’t have to actually imagine 30 lacks for every employee/student.

Also, to say again, keep in mind that those 30 lacks are non instigation related.
[It’s 3:32 PM for me now. I’m finally going to proofread and finish this idea. Because of the time, I’m going to start the next list probably next Saturday. I can’t believe it took me this long to finish this idea. These ideas, however, I believe may be useful to you, and may improve your chances to find more useful the next idea I plan to offer you. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
