Here’s a question to ponder about making an impact:

If we can only make a small amount of impact with our finite amount of time, is it more valuable to create an incremental gain, or create something new?

i.e., is 100 to 101 more valuable than going from 0 to 1?

Sure, real life is much more complicated than this, but the core question remains:

Is it worth focusing effort on something which is already OK, when something else hasn’t even been looked at yet?

Personally, I’d rather shift the margin than polish the centre.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.
