Welcome!
It is now 12:29 PM EST for me. Before I begin, I want to introduce to you a new idea I invented I think it was 2 days ago, Thursday, 11/14/2019, called ‘Hold that tiger!’. The name is from the movie ‘Tucker: The Man and His Dream(1988)’ starring celebrity Jeff Bridges as Preston Tucker. According to lyrics.fandom.com, the song ‘Tiger Rag’ is by Joe Jackson, and it appears on the ‘Tucker…’ movie soundtrack. I’m assuming that’s the song character Preston Tucker sings and encourages his family to sing in the movie. Here’s a quote from the song ‘Tiger Rag’:
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Where’s that tiger?
Where’s that tiger?
Where’s that tiger?
Where’s that tiger?
Where’s that tiger?
Where’s that tiger?
Where’s that tiger?

Since the bookmark ‘Hold that tiger!’ may actually encourage you to imagine holding a tiger, the tiger recommended for you to be holding is from the movie ‘Aladdin(2019)’, starring Mena Massoud as Aladdin. Since many of the kids of 2019 I believe already saw this movie produced by Walt Disney Pictures, according to wikipedia, the tiger’s name is Rajah, and it’s Princess Jasmine’s(Naomi Scott) protective pet Bengal tiger. According to the movie, Rajah likes Aladdin, and it likes you, like the way it likes Aladdin. Anyway, I’ll talk about idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ more later. I’m explaining idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ now because I will explain ideas ‘Admit’, ‘Anticipate’, and ‘Proof’. If I explain idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ after I explain idea ‘Proof’, I believe it won’t be as effective. The value of idea ‘Hold that tiger!’, in my opinion, would be more obvious to you if the idea is explained before idea ‘Proof’. And that is why I’m explaining it now. If you want to see illustrations of Rajah the Bengal tiger, the movie ‘Aladdin’ is available streaming as a rental and purchase from Amazon.com.
[11/16/2019: To be clear, you don’t hold wildlife animals(animals you see in the forest), or other animals, especially if they look friendly, and/or they look like you can hold them. In fact, even when an owner is walking his/her dogs, you’re not supposed to just try to hold them, even though those animals look supervised! You can always go to an animal store, and with the permission of those that work there, they may let you pet and/or hold kittens or puppies. Also, people who have a certain disability or need some sort of perspective assistance, such as people who are visually impaired, or people who require small animals for some sort of perspective assistance, even though those animals are trained, you can’t just pet or hold them without the owner’s permission. I’m letting you know this because I’m encouraging you to imagine holding a tiger when you use idea ‘Hold that tiger!’, if you choose to imagine it. The ‘tiger’ is meant to represent a certain disappointment as it relates to your chosen perspective. And since the obviousness of that phrase is not ignored, I want you to also have the ability to imagine holding a tiger. And that’s why I recommended that the tiger is from the movie ‘Aladdin’. In reality, don’t just hold animals you see, just because they look like you can hold them. Now, for example, if the owner of the animal that is supervising the animal is encouraging you to pet and/or hold the animal, and the animal is like a small dog or cat, then it’s reasonably safe to do so. And there are other special circumstances, but by definition, they are special circumstances. For example, you are allowed to work in an animal store, even as a kid, and you have experience with certain animals. Another example is that you were raised in a farm, and you have experience tending to all sorts of animals, especially as a kid. If you don’t have such special circumstances, then you don’t know how to pet and/or hold many types of animals, and you may not know the difference between an animal that you can safely pet and hold, and an animal that is dangerous to pet and/or hold. If you have a friend that has a pet animal, and you are allowed to visit you’re friend’s house regularly, I’m sure you’re friend must have said something to you about that pet animal, and helped you interact with it, so that you are more able to visit. That’s one example of being prepared, but that preparation is for that one animal, not for every animal that is a pet in a house. 11/16/2019]

All right! The concert performance I am recommending for this list is from ‘CMT Crossroads’. Here’s a quick quote from wikipedia.org about it:
‘ CMT Crossroads is an American television program broadcast on CMT that pairs country music artists with musicians from other music genres, frequently trading off performing one another’s songs, and also dueting on some numbers. ‘
I ‘fast forward’ through a lot of stuff when considering watching stuff from cable tv, but on 11/12/2019, this past Tuesday, I looked for the 1st time, a CMT Crossroads episode with Shawn Mendes and Zac Brown from channel MTVLH(MTV Live High Definition). Here’s some of the episode’s description from the cable tv service:
‘ Pop superstar Shawn Mendes and country music’s Zac Brown merge music styles… ‘
When I started watching it, I think they were performing the song ‘Mercy’ by Shawn Mendes. However, by the time I started recording it, the recording wasn’t able to catch that performance. Here is a quote from the song ‘Mercy’:
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don’t mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
—
For the 1st time earlier today, I watched the concert performance ‘Mercy’ 4 times from www.youtube.com. To watch ‘Mercy’ for free, in www.youtube.com, search for phrase ‘shawn mendes zac brown mercy’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 100 thousand views. I looked for it in Amazon.com, and surprisingly, it seemed like it wasn’t available. It looks like someone just posted it on youtube, and it hasn’t been taken out by youtube yet. The posting was published Oct 28, 2018, over a year ago. If you can find a more reliable youtube posting, you can use that instead. This is the one I found. According to wikipedia, this ‘CMT Crossroads’ episode is episode 66, and the original airdate was October 24, 2018.
If you choose to watch the ‘Mercy’ concert performance, the main effect I want you to experience happens 3 minutes and 23 seconds into the performance, when Shawn Mendes shouts out the words ‘Zac Brown everybody!’ And that’s when Zac Brown with his guitar and a violinist presents an active performance. And I turned that into an idea: If you experienced some sort of surprise, or something spontaneous from an instigator, that has a mild to moderate effect upon you, while you were attending grammar school, high school, college, your job, while using public transportation or preparing to use public transportation, such as being in a bus terminal, while attending a public restaurant, etc., then I recommend that you imagine that the male instigators that did this to you take the place of Zac Brown and that violinist during their solo performance. The purpose is to give you an example of a person showing you something that involves what I call ‘active spontaneity’, but done in an acceptable context, in this case, it’s done during a concert performance. I believe that many teenage male high school instigators wouldn’t mind being imagined in such a manner, to be imagined playing a guitar or a violin with Shawn Mendes, while many attractive, single, young women are admiring their performance. And as a bonus, this performance is also recorded and broadcasted for the general public to see. Although I just imagined this, it is also my belief that many high school male instigators do publicly declared events, to allow other students to not just perceive them as instigators. For example, I imagined celebrity actor David Boreanaz portraying a high school student who is a known instigator, he made a public announcement to the students in his high school that he was going to walk around the school track, where the track students practice, that he was going to walk around it several times. He wanted the students to not just see him as an instigator. Although he didn’t need anyone to show up and watch him walk, a dozen or so students did show up to watch him walk around the track several times.
According to the youtube posting, around 3 minutes and 42 seconds into the performance, notice that the violinist is closing his eyes as he is vigorously playing his violin. Here’s a quote from one of the youtube comments:
‘ man. have mercy on that violin. ‘
—
You see? It’s not just me that sees that the violinist is vigorously playing his violin. And if you imagine that male instigator also playing that violin vigorously, then you have more to work with contemplationally, making that experience involving some sort of surprise and spontaneousness more acceptable.
Here’s a question for the advice: ‘What about the girls/teenage girls/women?’ I want to give you an idea that works, that can make certain instigation related experiences more tenable. Sure, I’m only recommending that you use it on the boys/teenage boys/men. It’s something, at least. If you find my recommendation useful, than, in my book, so to speak, that’s what matters. Besides, I will give you more advice, anyway. Of course, if you choose to take the advice, you can change it around, in relation to advice said. But using the illustration example on the males of our species only is how I’m recommending it, also in relation to advice said. If you want to imagine girls/women playing that violin, for the sake of contemplation continuity, sure! Keep in mind that this is just advice to me. I want to offer you something that you find useful. For example, I’m trying to reasonably explain an idea to you in a form that can be useful to you.

Hold that tiger!:
I had experience before advice related that would cause me to experience adrenaline. I believe that, in this case, many people who used the ‘Mercy’ concert performance the way I recommended are probably still experiencing some form of adrenaline. So, what I recommend for that, is that you imagine, or actually listen to, instrumental music that helps you calm down. For example, I recommend ‘Songbird’ by celebrity saxophone player Kenny G. If you have Amazon Prime, the song ‘Songbird’ is available for you to listen to without additional payment. I also recommend ‘Tubular Bells’, Michael Nyman’s ‘The Promise’. Listen or imagine listening to it as you read about idea ‘Hold that tiger!’.
So, here’s how I invented it: I think I saw that ‘Tucker’ movie on cable tv years ago, but from what I remember, Tucker would get his family to sing the phrase ‘Hold that tiger!’ at least twice in the movie, once in the beginning of the movie, and once in the end of it. And so, this past Thursday, I imagined that the reason he sings it, and encourages his family to sing it, is because the tiger represents some sort of discouragement, and ‘holding’ that tiger represents a positive interaction with some sort of discouragement. And so, I refurbished the tiger to represent some sort of disappointment, more specifically, the disappointment that your preferred perspective use is not creating an acceptable experience from something that you agreed to do and something that you are actually doing. For example, I believe that school teachers are very considerate with what is taught to their students. However, students and working adults also learn things on their own, and with others, and certain things that they learn and choose to use may not mix well with their current obligations from time to time. The best example I can think of right now for this blog is because of it’s newness. It’s from a tv show that is still making new episodes. The 2 examples are in episode 2.2 ‘This Year Will Be Different’ from fantasy tv series ‘Legacies(2019)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, the 1st part of the example starts 2 minutes and 41 seconds into the episode, Lizzie Saltzman(Jenny Boyd) and Josie Saltzman(Kaylee Bryant) are talking. Here is the quote:
Lizzie: ‘So I’m all about the present. I have decided to be permanently open to any opportunity that comes my way. This is my semester of yes. And I am available for literally anything.’
In case you didn’t see the movie, Lizzie’s chosen perspective reminds me of the movie ‘Yes Man(2008)’, starring Jim Carrey as Carl Allen. According to www.imdb.com, ‘a man challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year.’
It is now 4:09 PM EST for me, and I recently realized that the 2nd part of the example is even more useful than I originally thought it was. It starts 12 minutes and 13 seconds into the episode, a student portrayed by actress Hannah-Bliss Carlton, is talking to Lizzie, the girl who made the pledge perspective to say ‘yes’. Here is the quote:
Witch portrayed by Hannah-Bliss Carlton: ‘Hey, Lizzie. We’re gonna cast a persuasion spell to stop Tara from getting a pixie cut. Coming?’
People who need this remedy often have a history of a certain type of irregular heartbeat (eg, congenital QT prolongation) or you take certain antiarrhythmic medicines (eg, quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol) Precautions: Vardenafil may cause cheapest cialis generic a psychological pressure on patients, resulting in inhibition and worry especially for those who do not know the disease. cialis pills wholesale Go through the article to explore important about this medication. Eliminating the aggravation alone is worth the trouble viagra 5mg for most people. Take 2 teaspoons of baking soda and add it in one levitra prices purchasing this glass of water, stir it and drink it when symptoms occur. 2.Lizzie: ‘Yes!’
In that scene, Lizzie’s chosen perspective easily gave her a positive sense of reciprocation when she agreed to that other witch that she wanted to participate.
Now, in this 2nd scene, and this is what I originally wanted to show you, this is an example of ‘Hold that tiger!’, and the ‘tiger’ represents a disappointing response from one’s use of chosen perspective, and the person is obviously experiencing some sort of resistance honoring that chosen perspective. That scene starts 12 minutes and 21 seconds into the episode:
Milton ‘MG’ Greasley(Quincy Fouse): ‘Uh, hey, Lizzie.’
Lizzie: ‘Hey, Milton.’
Milton: ‘Hi. Um, would you want to go on a study date later with me?’
Lizzie: ‘Yes.’
Milton: ‘At the Old Mill?’
Lizzie: ‘Uh, yes?’
Milton: ‘2:00?’
Lizzie: ‘All right.’
Milton: ‘All right.’
—
If you choose to watch that scene, just to point it out, notice that Lizzie was having difficulty saying ‘yes’ to Milton’s proposals. Her newfound chosen perspective to say ‘yes’ was not allowing her to feel a positive, preferred response, like the positive response she experienced from the witch portrayed by Hannah-Bliss Carlton. Of course, these experiences from Lizzie are private. Idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ is designed to help you with such experiences, experiences that your current use of chosen perspective is not able to give you a more preferred perspective response for.

The 2nd example is in movie ‘Hart’s War(2002)’, starring Colin Farrell as Lt. Hart, Terrence Howard as Lt. Scott, and Vicellous Shannon as Lt. Archer. The movie is available as a streaming rental and purchase from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 32 minutes and 40 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:
Lt. Hart: ‘Gonna have to make some room in here, fellas. Come on in, men. We got two more guests. 2nd Lieutenants Lamar Archer and Lincoln Scott.’
Soldier: ‘You got to be kidding, sir. They’re gonna live here?’
Lt. Hart: ‘Two officers just entered the barracks. Where’s your salute?’
I think it took about 15 seconds before Staff Sgt. Vic W. Bedford(Cole Hauser) encouraged the others to give a salute.
—
So, to comment about that scene as a recommended use for this advice, I’m addressing that the others had difficulty saluting to the two officers. So, here’s my comment: It’s a free country, freedom of religion, freedom of beliefs. Of course, it’s a movie, and it’s setting is around the year 1944. However, the movie was presented at 2002, and it’s evaluated for the people of year 2002. That means that the people of 2002 should be able to relate to that scene somehow based on their 2002 perspective. That being said, Of course, this is America, it’s a free country, but just because you can make many belief commitments, that doesn’t mean that the job and/or circumstance you choose to interact with will amicably interact with such beliefs. And, refurbished, those soldiers having difficulty interacting with such beliefs is another example of idea ‘Hold that tiger!’, the ‘tiger’ represents those soldier’s difficulty saluting to those two soldiers. They’re supposed to give a salute, that’s one of their obligations. However they have chosen not to give that salute. However, with the help of Staff Sgt. Vic Bedford, they were able to.
One solution that I believe many people with problematic articulation of beliefs use is to simply not tell anyone that they practice such beliefs. Sure, like I said before, ‘it’s a free country’, but the commitments that such people have that makes their beliefs problematic, if such beliefs were revealed to those that they work with, for example, that may cause them to get fired from their jobs, or they may find it more difficult to work with such people.
I’m not a managerial employee, but I’m assuming that there are situations that management practices that they can’t simply tell non-managerial employees about in a short period of time. It may require a lot of time to explain to non-managerial employees. I think that the phrase ‘It’s a long story’ identifies many such managerial situations.
That being said, let’s try to use idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ in a more civilian generalistic context. For example, let’s say a 12 year old kid learns something while texting to her friends. Later, that kid while in school is participating in something, and because of what she has learned and chose to commit to, she has difficulty getting a positive response from her chosen perspective in order to do something in school that she has already chose to commit to. She is experiencing something like Lizzie experienced in the ‘Legacies’ episode, except instead of a boy, it is instead something that she has already committed in school, but she is not getting a positive response from her chosen perspective because of what she has recently learned from her friends and has also chosen to commit to that.
For that, I recommend you contemplationally say ‘Hold that tiger!’, and the ‘tiger’ represents both commitments, or if you don’t know why specifically, the ‘tiger’ represents the inability of your chosen perspective to give you a positive reaction, and since it’s just a minor feeling nuisance, and you want to continue with participating with such a commitment, you choose to hold that ‘tiger’.
Well, I believe that ‘knowing is half the battle’, so to speak, and if idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ helps you know somewhat why you’re experiencing a non preferred perspective response, then idea ‘Hold that tiger!’ may be useful to you.
—
It is now 5:10 PM EST for me. I’m closing this list now. I will start explaining ideas ‘Admit’, ‘Anticipate’, and finally idea ‘Proof’ next Saturday, unless a better idea shows up, so to speak. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
