What any young man can tell you.

-- "When you are young, you know no tomorrows."
|
-- There are those 'young turks' out there that "think that they know it all so will get it all." They are out there hustling; moving, burning up the world with their successes. (They have always existed, you know!) -- In the old days they were the overly headstrong wildcatters on oil rigs who bragged that they didn't mind getting dirty as long as there was that 'big money to be made.' - Runaways that left home seeking their 'lucky freakin' fortunes'. - Those gamblers, hustlers and pushy fast buck artists, call them for what you will, they now have their prouder names like "E-traders." - They seem to think that their lives will pass them by.-- At least they are trying, and I'll give them good credit for that. -- "When you are young, you know no tomorrows." -- You take risks, you plunge right at it, you steadily overcome adversity and bounce right back. You are invincible! You are expendable, and that is why the 4-Star Generals lay back, sitting safely in their armored bunkers while you 'grunts' are on the ground and fighting it out, hand-to-hand, from the dirty fox-holes and trenches. -- Wars are won with brains and the brawn is sent in to mop up and occupy the land to safeguard our peace.

-- And that is the primary difference between the young and the old. The young wanting it right now and the old defending what territories they have captured. They try to propogate their lands with robot-"like-minded"-thinkers. They write their gloried history with only the pages that they want you to read. -- When reading, search for the absence of fact. - Understand who wrote the book - discover their hidden agenda. Smarten up. - H. Robert Scheinkman -- "It ain't what we don't know that gives us trouble, It's what we know that ain't so." --

-- George S. Patton, General -- "Scientists debate a robot war - Innovation" -- "Inventors, Who Are Your Gatekeepers?" -- YOUNG MAN, I LIKE YOUR THINKING -- A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on little Billy. He replies, "None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot." The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking."
Then little Billy says, "I have a question for you. - "There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?" The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well, I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone." To which Little Billy replied, "The correct answer is 'the one with the wedding ring on,' but I like your thinking." -- "It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn." --

picture in a zoo book and says, "Look, Mama! It's a frickin' elephant!"
-- Deep breath... "What did you call it?"
-- "It's a frickin' elephant, Mama! It says so on the picture!"
-- And so it does... "A f r i c a n Elephant."

-- The two most common mistakes that inventors are making that result in the majority of patents NOT producing a profit:
- 1. Inventing a product for which there is no market.
- 2. Failing to contact companies who are potential licensees for their invention.- If you're one of those inventors who's guilty of hoping that some big company is going to come along and contact you about YOUR invention, or if you plan to find an agent or rep that will take your invention and get it on the market for you, then the following advice might help:- You do the necessary research to locate potential licensees for your invention. Then, if you are not willing to contact them yourself, hire a telemarketer to make your phone calls for you. - Telemarketers are not that expensive to hire and it's what they do best. If you're not making those calls anyway then what do you have to lose?

Can we begin this story with 3 simple questions?
1. What’s the hardest thing about going on a diet?
2. What’s the hardest thing about starting a new workout regimen?
3. What’s the hardest thing about beginning a job search?
ANSWER: Getting started!
Getting started is also the hardest part of getting your new inventions on the market. After all, why should a company be willing to take on that risk? Why should they believe in what you think is a great new idea?
Here’s one way to make that decision easier for them: Begin by having a run of anywhere from 10 units to 100 units, and then begin selling them.
There’s an article in the current issue of Forbes magazine in which the magazine’s publisher, Rich Karlgaard, says that some of the major innovations were first embraced by individuals rather than big companies. He cites as examples the Web, search engines, the Blackberry, and social networks such as MySpace and Facebook. The entire article is at http://www.forbes.com/columnists/forbes/2007/1126/031.html One reason that companies tend to avoid risk is that the decision makers tend to look bad when they make decisions that don’t work out. So it’s easier to NOT make a decision – which to you is a decision of NO. By paying for a small production run, you can build what companies want to see before saying YES, and that is a track record and a revenue stream. By doing this, you eliminate some of the risk for them – which makes it easier for YOU to get them to license your great new product. So you might want to consider producing a small production run if you can afford it and if it makes financial sense.

"Man, I wish I knew how/where to get the proverbial "ball rolling", too. I have two terrific devices, and I don't know who to trust either.
The USPTO says to be careful, even your lawyer can steal
your idea. So what do we do??!!"
MY ANSWER:
Let us suppose that you have discovered a gold vein and want to become rich from it?
You can take a sample, a few of the gold bearing rocks to an assayer and have him tell you what value the content of your rock may indicate. -- For the assayer to tell you this, he has to put the rocks to the test. [Change to Patent Attorney, our expert analyzer.]
The assayer makes his money from what you pay him. He isn't out in the wilderness looking for your goldmine. If anything, he has researched and found that it is less backbreaking doing what he is doing than out prospecting. He makes his money from the miners bringing him gold samples.
QUESTION:
"- File a provisional, then get a lawyer?"
MY ANSWER:
Learn that a Provisional Patent Application isn't going to mature into a non-provisional patent. Don't put yourself under the gun with a 'one-year time limit' until you can afford to. Learn your terminology about patenting, and look before you leap. Read:
http://www.inventorsconnection.org/
Hold on to your secret 'gold mine location' until you are ready to mine it. Learn all that you can about prospecting; --> in Inventors lingo, Do Your Researching first.
QUESTION:
"- Spend 2 months preparing a patent app myself and hope I don't screw it up?"
MY ANSWER:
Now you are beginning to realize that you are out there, all by yourself, and you have to watch your back. Somebody can jump your claim, if the word gets out that you have discovered gold. It is best that you file your claim - or hide your claim until you can put in the effort to mine it, for when you are unfamiliar with the territory, you can die. -- The one to trust is your Patent Attorney. Go to several. It's like going out on a date. Find the Patent Attorney that seems to fit your wants, needs and desires.
QUESTION:
"- Find a rich sponsor?"
MY ANSWER:
The rich sponsor has gotten his riches by being smart. He wants to make a lot more money than he has now - mainly because of his personal 'one-upmanship.' He wants to have 'the best there is' and 'be better off than he is now.' More money and more rich toys make him better in the eyes of his peers. Maybe the getting in on the ground floor of a 'new fangled invention' will just do that? He might be backing the next Sam Walton?
Back to Gold Mining: The Gold Prospector works his mine to the point that he gains the proof that his gold mine will make everybody that later finds out about it, become rich. He goes back into town and convinces a choice few that they can get in on a better than even chance of becoming rich. All they need to do is grubstake him. When they spy his gleaming gold samples, they get in on the gold fever. (Take the hint.)
QUESTION:
"- Knock on Everyday Edison's door?"
MY ANSWER:
Yes. That is one source for ready buyers.
Read about the others.
QUESTION:
"- Give it away for free and hope to get famous?"
MY ANSWER:
Is sucker printed on your chest?
In the real world of business, one makes an offer that the other can't refuse to take. They hardly ever give it away without a hook for their fish to bite into. -- Make them hunger for it. Learn all you can from the marketing experts. Read their books. Back up your giveaway with a better sales promotion. Get something for giving something.
QUESTION:
"help!"
MY ANSWER:
You are like a baby that was left out on the doorstep without parents. Right now, you're not exactly alone and abandoned, I'm helping you. You'll have a lot of learning to do, so start reading.
Good luck, Quint.

********************************************************
** A story went around the mining camps in the early days of gold mining, that the assayer was slick, literraly.. He would grease-up his head of hair and steal the gold when doing his assay. -- The gold dust made his head shine as he brushed his fingers through it. At night, he poured a pitcher of water over his head and the dust washed out into his washbowl. He also used a piece of thick napped carpet under his gold scale and the dropped gold flakes disappeared into it. - Later, he incinerated his carpet piece and kept the golden nugget.

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high ground.
7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9. When you're stressed, float a while. 10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals..

-- -- Pharmacology -- -- All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. -- The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.-- Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of MOUNT & DO. -- Thought for the day:
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. This is good no matter how old you are....but if you can recall any of this, it makes it that much more realistic and funny!
LIFE through the eyes of an old 30-year old.....
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning .... uphill .... BOTH ways !!
yadda, yadda, yadda!
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of (You fill in the blank...( ), I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You've got it so easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter...with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it into the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to
hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the F@#*%N DJ'd usually talked over the beginning and S@#*%D it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know ?? !!!
You had to pick it up and take your chances mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids' and the graphics sucked! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The
game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died!
Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed! Yeah, S@#*%D!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like three channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your fat ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!
And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little sh*#s.
And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire... imagine that! We suffered!!
If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot, and ended up with a bag full of unpopped kernals and burnt popcorn. Geeze, kid, you've got it gooo-d!!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too-damn-easy.. !!
You're spoiled!!!!!!!!!
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in the 80's!
Oh yeah, and a seatbelt was Mom throwing her arm across your chest every time she hit the brakes.

INDEX - Just Keep Waiting
|
-- -- Thought of the day --
-- Many people today live their entire lives on the basis of "seeing is believing." That is to say, the only images they get emotionally involved with are the ones they can discern with their physical senses. But the individuals of real "vision," down through the ages, have always known the overriding principle is, "what you see is what you get."
-- Expressed somewhat differently, what this means is that the images in people's minds, actually precede the concrete images, which pervade our material world. Therefore, you should be aware of the fact that the fascinating physical world we see before us, with all of its conveniences for making our lives more comfortable, has been built largely by image-makers - men and women of vision who knew what they could do, and EXPECTED everything else to "fall into place," regardless of what their critics might say to the contrary.
-- Remember, you will only receive what you truly expect, not what you only wish for.
