Salutations.

It is now 10:07 AM EST for me.

Promotion pace (revisited):

Before I begin, I want to address again an idea I talked about in the past called ‘Promotion pace’. I typed the phrase in the search engine, but I could not find it. Basically, the advice I am presenting to you called ‘Promotion pace’ says that you can choose what abilities that you have to be committed to your chosen job. You can have abilities, and yet not give a job related commitment to those abilities. Based on what I said in the original description of ‘Promotion pace’, it is my belief that there are people in the American work force that have been working at their jobs for let’s say 10+ years, and they can easily get a promotion if they choose to. Idea ‘Promotion pace’ identifies that ability. However, for whatever personal reason, they don’t want to get a promotion. However, believing they have such an ability gives them some sort of solace. It helps them do their jobs.

Because of the previous idea I offered you called ‘Accomodate’, in Wishlist #1199, I sensed some trepidation in it’s use. To help remedy that, it is my advice that you don’t have to use that idea. It’s just an idea. You can have ideas, and yet not use such ideas. So, going back to idea ‘Promotion pace’, suppose you have a certain job, and for certain tasks, for the sake of being more useful, you have chosen to use a few of those abilities in order to interact with let’s say other clients on behalf of the company. It is made clear to your boss that using such abilities is not in your active job description. You are not making the use of such abilities as part of your active job description. It’s just something that you choose to do now and then for your company. That can happen. I don’t see why that can’t happen. Of course, to avoid a possible ‘Promotion pace’ situation, you don’t have to do that either. You can just avoid a ‘promotion pace’ situation in your future job. I don’t see anything wrong with that. What I do recommend in general is that you continue to learn, especially when you already have a job. And as you acquire new abilities, you can still choose which abilities to give job commitments to.

Since I think kids may be reading this blog, as a refurbished illustration example, I recommend watching a short scene in episode 3.26 ‘The Best of Both Worlds’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation(1990)’. If you have Amazon Prime, that scene is available streaming from Amazon.com without additional payment. In that scene, Admiral Hanson(George Murdock) is talking to Captain Picard(Patrick Stewart) about Cmrdr. Riker(Jonathan Frakes). According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 5 minutes and 23 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Admiral Hanson: ‘Don’t tell me he’s going to pass up another commission.’

Captain Picard: ‘One’s available?’

Admiral Hanson: ‘The Melbourne. It’s his if he wants it. Hasn’t he told you?’

Captain Picard: ‘He’ll make a fine captain, J.P.’

Admiral Hanson: ‘You may want to tell him that. We’re still waiting on his decision. This is the third time we’ve pulled out the Captain’s chair for Riker. He just won’t sit down. Well, let me tell you something, Jean-Luc– there are a lot of hot shots like Shelby on the way up. Riker could suddenly look like he’s standing still next to them. He’s hurting his career by staying put. And if I were you, I’d kick him in the rear end for his own good.’

To the kids: I’m already an adult, and I already have a job. But since you’re still kids, you’re still learning. I recommend that you read just the beginning of the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Here is a quote of that beginning from www.wikipedia.org:

Jack is a young, poor boy living with his widowed mother and a dairy cow on a farm cottage. The cow’s milk was their only source of income. When the cow stops giving milk, Jack’s mother tells him to take her to the market to be sold. On the way, Jack meets a bean dealer who offers magic beans in exchange for the cow, and Jack makes the trade. When he arrives home without any money, his mother becomes angry, throws the beans out of the window, and sends Jack to bed without dinner.

—

Refurbished for advice, Jack was supposed to sell the cow for money, not trade it for magic beans. As you acquire abilities, it’s important to know what your career goals are as you commit certain abilities to your job commitments. That reminds me what happened to Brandon Walsh(Jason Priestley) in the tv show ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’, when he went to college. Brandon was popular with the extracurricular activities in college. However, he put so much of his time in those activities he made commitments to, that he wasn’t able to give acceptable attention to his college courses. In other words, Brandon wasn’t able to pass his college courses because of the commitments he made with the college extracurricular activities he chose to commit to. And that also reminds me of the movie ‘The Circle(2017)’ starring Tom Hanks as Bailey.

It is now 11:37 AM EST for me. The music video I recommend for idea ‘Resist’ is a music video I just watched twice for the 1st time earlier today, and it is from song ‘Look at Her Now’ by American singer Selena Gomez. I just recommend watching it for it’s synchronized dancing. Of course, the song is also great, so to speak, and it probably has deeper meaning. But I’m only recommending watching it for it’s special effects and synchronized dancing. You don’t have to separate one from the other. I’m just recommending that you watch it in a certain simple context. Here’s a quote about the song and music video from www.wikipedia.org:

‘ It has been described as a dance and pop song, this genre being showcased as dance-pop and electropop. ‘

‘ The music video, which was released the same day as the song, features Selena Gomez and background dancers, dancing in a very colored tent. Like the “Lose You to Love Me” music video, it was also fully shot on an iPhone 11 Pro. ‘

And here is a quote from the lyrics of song ‘Look at Her Now’:

Mmm mmm mmm
Look at her now
Watch her go
Mmm mmm mmm
Wow
Look at her now
Mmm mmm mmm
Look at her now
Watch her go
Mmm mmm mmm
Wow
Look at her now

I found music video ‘Look at Her Now’ from www.youtube.com. On it’s front page, I clicked ‘Music’, then I clicked ‘Video Hotlist’. Music video ‘Look at Her Now’ was #20 from a list of 20. It was published Oct 23, 2019, and in just a little over a week, it has over 62 million views, and over 108 thousand comments! Wow!

—

Along with the music video ‘Look at Her Now’, I also recommend watching the new trailer for the sci-fi series ‘Star Trek: Picard’. Just search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘star trek picard’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with almost 8 million views. It was published Oct 5, 2019, almost a month ago. The show will premiere January 23, 2020. I also checked ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ in wikipedia, and it’s scheduled to be released 2020, but it doesn’t say when.

Resist:

Finally! 1st, I want to introduce to you the reference that allowed me to invent idea ‘Resist’. It is in episode 6.6 ‘Give Me the Finger’ from crime tv show ‘Elementary(2018)’. Since I recommended this episode to you recently, you already have it as purchased in Amazon.com. If you haven’t purchased it yet, it’s available streaming from Amazon.com for about 2 dollars Standard Definition. The scene in a tv show context, of course, introduces the characters to an involuntary smell. Since it’s just imagined, I just want to clarify how that scene is to be used here: Sherlock(Jonny Lee Miller) tested the exposure to the smell on himself, and it’s not supposed to cause the people exposed to the smell to be sick. However, if you were to be exposed to such a smell, it still creates an involuntary response, meaning that you will still respond to it. In fact, when exposed to it, you may still believe that it’s the worst thing that you have ever smelled, even though you are not feeling sick because of it. Sherlock wanted to expose everyone in that room to such a smell, in order to reveal to the others the person who does not respond to it. Keep in mind that it’s still just a tv show, and they’re all actors. That scene starts, according to Amazon Video, 36 minutes and 5 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

It is a terrible medical situation affecting millions of men all over the world at cute-n-tiny.com levitra sale some point in their lives, so if you are suffering from it, you are not alone. Sciatica is buy sildenafil uk not caused by the baby pressing on a nerve. It has been proven that overweight men earlier in life might have had a higher tadalafil 20mg no prescription risk of a condition like hypertension, diabetes, and medical issues that might make them sexually unsuccessful. There exists a person problem even though, because it is so much safer than zithromax that the Chinese medicine has almost no side effectss, as all ingredients of the medicine is used to cure that kind of disease that are of the same group of order viagra prescription .

(cell phone ringing)

Sherlock: ‘Oh, sorry. Sorry. I’m-I’m suffering from a condition called PCS. [Sherlock is lying in order to identify the criminal in the room] I, um… (clears throat) I just… I have to eat regularly to stave off the, uh, symptoms, so if you don’t mind…’

(Once Sherlock opened the container of food, everyone sitting down makes an involuntary reaction, except Lt. Colonel Robin Deakins(LisaGay Hamilton). )

Someone in the room: ‘What the heck is that?’

Sherlock: (showing to others that he’s actually eating that food) ‘Again, apologies. The mingled stench of rotting food, ammonia and gym socks is the hallmark odor of the Durian. It’s a fruit from Southeast Asia. My doctor says it’s blend of minerals and vitamins is highly therapeutic.’

Dr. Joan Watson(Lucy Liu): ‘It also just helped us identify the criminal.’

Sherlock: ‘Hmm. Colonel Deakins. …would you join us in an interview room?’

—

In the rest of the scene, Colonel Deakins admits that she lost her sense of smell in an accident.

And I used that ‘smell’ scene from tv series ‘Elementary’ on a scene from movie ‘Mortal Engines(2018)’, starring Hugo Weaving as Thaddeus Valentine, and Andrew Lees as Herbert Melliphant. In that scene, Valentine and Melliphant are talking. According to Amazon.com, movie ‘Mortal Engines’ is available streaming, but only as a purchase for about 15 dollars. If you choose to, it should be available on cable tv as one of those movies that you can just watch without paying extra for it, as part of the service you already have. And even if it isn’t, it may be available as a rental, which should be a lot cheaper than 15 dollars. Anyway, according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 1 minute, and 7 minutes into the movie. Here is the quote:

Herbert Melliphant: ‘I’m sure you know who I am.’

Thaddeus Valentine: ‘No, I don’t.’

Herbert Melliphant: ‘Herbert Melliphant. Your daughter’s a very good friend of mine.’

Thaddeus Valentine: ‘No, she’s not.’

—

OK, so here’s the basic idea of what ‘Resist’ means: Idea ‘Resist’ is the 1st successful? example of converting an adverse contemplation impression caused by an instigation and/or inadvertency into a generalistic contemplation impression that can be useful to you. The 1st successful? example, at least that is the plan, the one I discovered to clarify, refurbished, is from the movie ‘Mortal Engines’. It’s in that conversation between Herbert Melliphant and Thaddeus Valentine. More specifically, it’s from the reaction from Thaddeus Valentine in response to what Herbert Melliphant said to him. Here is that quote again:

Herbert Melliphant: ‘Herbert Melliphant. Your daughter’s a very good friend of mine.’

Thaddeus Valentine: ‘No, she’s not.’

After Valentine said ‘No, she’s not.’ to Melliphant, based on my interpretation, and that scene starts 1 hour, 1 minute, and 14 seconds into the movie, if you choose to, notice that Herbert Melliphant was experiencing resistance maintaining his sense of courtesy, the courtesy that he is using to communicate to Thaddeus Valentine. It happened for only a few seconds, but you can notice that Herbert Melliphant looked very upset, and he stopped following Thaddeus Valentine for a few seconds. And that is why I called the idea ‘Resist’. It’s actually based on Herbert Melliphant’s reaction to Thaddeus Valentine’s statement. If you think about it, it could be said that Herbert Melliphant saying that Valentine’s daughter is a good friend of his was somewhat presumptuous. It may have been better form to say that he regarded himself as a good friend to his daughter. After all, Thaddeus is Katherine’s father. Anyway, I’m assuming that Melliphant did not mean to be disrespectful, and more and more people with authority nowadays based on my opinion tend to expect others to concede to a courtesy that is impossible for them to even understand. I have a partial idea for that, something that may provide to you some sort of continuity, but it will take me several Saturdays before I can explain it. Anyway, going back to the ‘Resist’ examples, if you watched enough tv and movies, you can probably find other ‘Resist’ examples. This ‘Resist’ example for me was the example that I used to create the concept of what idea ‘Resist’ means, and how it’s name was even created. Herbert Melliphant’s reaction. That’s how. And the example came from what I believe to be a popular sci-fi movie that should be available from cable tv.

So, if you look at that scene again, Thaddeus Valentine intentionally caused Herbert Melliphant to have an adverse sense of resistance, a resistance that is discouraging him from maintaining a sense and use of courtesy that he chose to communicate with Thaddeus Valentine. What idea ‘Resist’ recommends for you to is to create a generalistic sense of resistance, a sense that you can actually use for yourself contemplationally, and use that instead of the adverse impression of resistance that an instigator and/or inadvertency causes you to experience. And that is why I gave you that ‘Elementary’ reference. Here is a quote from that ‘Elementary’ episode that I provided for you earlier on this list:

‘ Sherlock: (showing to others that he’s actually eating that food) ‘Again, apologies. The mingled stench of rotting food, ammonia and gym socks is the hallmark odor of the Durian. It’s a fruit from Southeast Asia. My doctor says it’s blend of minerals and vitamins is highly therapeutic.’ ‘

According to the original reference, even at least most of the people in that room are presenting a 1st time involuntary reaction to the smell of that fruit, notice that Sherlock is actually eating that fruit, the very fruit whose smell is causing mostly everyone else to cover their noses. So, therefore, if you choose to, you can easily imagine that Sherlock prepared himself to be exposed to the smell of that fruit. He’s even eating it! You can use Sherlock’s example, refurbished of course, to try to create a generalistic sense of a certain meaning, extrapolated from an adverse sense induced by an instigation and/or inadvertency. Based on my experience, this idea doesn’t work on every form of adverse experience from mild to moderate instigations, but it should work on a good number of those experiences. (I don’t know what the statistical number is, that is why I said ‘a good number’.) [11/2/2019: As of now, when I said ‘good number’, it’s using the idea on your unique strategy that creates the benefit, not a specific number of experiences associated with words. For example, if you ‘shuffle’ words, and you find idea ‘Resist’ useful, then how many specific words are actually affected? In other words, if you associate adverse experiences with specific words discovered by ‘shuffling’, a ‘good number’ may be 5 words a month. That’s less than 1% of the words that you use easily. If you want to think about it that way, then 5 words the 1st month can be construed as a ‘good number’, and that’s because it’s a new idea. After that, a ‘good number’ may be only 1 word a month. To be clear, idea ‘Resist’ is also a new idea for me to use as well. 11/2/2019]

Since kids may be reading this blog, let me go back a little and extrapolate. It’s not just most? kids, but many teenagers and adults as well, that when they experience something that discourages their use of courtesy, for example, then they tend to not use it themselves. What I am recommending when using idea ‘Resist’ is that, if you experience something adverse that discourages for example your use of courtesy, that you try to find a substitute for it, a generalistic variation of it that you can actually use for yourself. In that ‘Elementary’ example, many of the people sitting down are of course actors, but those actors are portraying people with military authority, and even they are covering their noses to avoid that bad smell! And of course, as they are covering their noses, Sherlock is eating the fruit where the smell is coming from. Can you imagine now why that ‘Elementary’ illustration is a great example for idea ‘Resist’?

To be clear, even though my explanation of idea ‘Resist’ was a little disappointing to me, idea ‘Resist’ should give you a lot of noticeable room when making your own ideas. I believe you should have that ‘head’s up’, so to speak. Idea ‘Resist’ even for some? adults, if they choose to use it, should have an active use in their techniques for more than a few weeks. If I am wrong about that, then I’m wrong. But if I’m right, then I believe this ‘head’s up’ is warranted.

[It’s 3:19 PM EST for me. That’s the best I can do right now to explain idea ‘Resist’. This explanation should at least allow me to continue explaining the other ideas, and I already plan to give you an upgraded explanation of idea ‘Resist’ later. So, I’m going to close this list now, since I want to fast forward through 3 Blu-ray/DVD rentals today. Next Saturday, I plan to explain ideas ‘Admit’ and ‘Anticipate’, and that other idea involving a sense of ‘Proof’. I’ll look at that previous list later to find out what I originally said it was. I may give an idea this coming Friday, and then another idea next Saturday. If I don’t type anything in this coming Friday, then I will very likely type something in next Saturday. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
