Someone asked me recently:

What have you always dreamed of doing?

 

I tend to believe that I've written about it a little everywhere. But there is more underneath the tip of the iceberg.

 

Well, in essence, it is...

 

Making stuff useful.

​

The essence of making stuff useful is to me...

• using whatever we have (strive to zero waste, of precious resources, yes, but wastefulness is wrong)

• inventing what we don't have (i.e thinking outside the box, for a change), through... 

• thinking differently on utilizing resources, and creatively using my resources, my brain, and anything/everything I know and have done or have access to.

• It comes down to counter-intuitive thinking and being creative with everything, including (but not limited to) using my brain, my skills and all other assets, for the betterment of humanity as a whole and my micro-cosmos in particular.

 

I like it and I excel at it. And I tend to see patterns and will react quickly to my insights.

 

Some folks around me seem to think that I am “out there” (as in “what drugs are you using, dude?”), and some cannot tell whether I am joking or not (Yeah, that sense of humor…).

​

This feeling has been nagging me for a while now, that my peers usually don’t tend to get it, and all I've got left to do is lean back, and revert to saying, in hindsight: "I have been trying to tell you. That was the idea."

 

Would it happen just ever so seldom, then it might have been a fluke, or my ego, saying "I’m so great" and such...

 

But this summarizes many occurrences, the story of my life really. And even though it feels like an ego boost at times, I don’t like this role very much...Of the one who gets to say “I told you” in hindsight. I prefer that more people would be on the same page as I am, a little more, or at least acknowledge I might have something there, if only a grain of sense even, but acknowledged.
