Go That Little Extra Mile

by: Ted Ciuba


The whole premise of my articles, and the basis of my business philosophy, is that we get so much for so little. When we invoke the Law of Leverage by going the extra mile we tend to receive not an extra mile back, but miles and miles and miles.


And so it was just this morning, when I went out for a walk. It’s a beautiful day, about 17 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny; it’s January. I went out for a walk along the edge of the golf course, and then I saw a small lake—and I got to enjoy looking at and listening to the ducks that were there.


Now, this is an extra experience; this is a pure example of an illustration of the rewards you receive by going the extra mile….


Let me explain…


When I set out to do my walk, I didn’t intend to walk that far; I didn’t even know the lake existed, and wouldn’t have had that holomagic experience. But when I got as far as I knew I was going, then I could see more. I could see farther, I saw new vistas, and I went for it in the moment.


And that’s the kind of thing we all do. That’s the whole reason why we invest this brief time for some kind of inspirational, motivational, or strategizational message every day. And I’ll tell you another thing about it: this fits over into our businesses, of course, but it also fits over into our relationships—family relationships, friendship relationships, and relationships with God and Nature.


Go that little extra mile, and in addition to what you do for the other person, you yourself are the beneficiary.

Global Climate Change: Does It Occur Abruptly or Gradually?

Many of us are blissfully unaware that almost the whole of human history -from the hunters and gatherers to the rise of towns and cities, the development of science and medicine -the whole of our great human pageant- has taken place within an atypical period of fair weather.


For most of our 4.5-billion year history, the typical pattern was for the earth to be hot, sans ice anywhere. The current ice epoch started about 40 million years ago, with at least 17 serious glacial episodes in the last 2.5 million years, which coincides with the rise of homo sapiens, the rise of the Himalayas and the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, disrupting the flows of warming currents between the Atlantic and Pacific.


Before 50 million years ago the planet had no cyclical ice ages. What it did have was a pair of glacial whoppers: one about two billion years ago, followed by a billion years of warmth and another mega ice age called the Cryogenian (you get the picture!) when temperatures plunged 80 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a global Antarctica, dubbed by pundits as “Snowball Earth.”Recent analysis of ice cores from Greenland show that climate change occurs abruptly with temperature swings of up to 15 degrees over a 10-year period dramatically altering the climate rather than gradual change over hundreds of thousands of years. One thing is certain, change is on the way.

At the recent American Association for the Advancement of Science Conference, climatologists described an “intensification of droughts, heatwaves, floods, wildfires and severe storms” as “early warning signs of yet more devastating damage to come”. In Great Britain, Stephen Hawking and the Government’s chief scientist, Professor Sir David King, said that climate change that it posed a greater threat than , in tune with other experts who describe global warming as a “weapon of mass destruction.”

New “Weird” States of Water Discovered

Exotic new states of water have raised questions about what we really know about one of the most common and abundant substances on the planet.


First there was the discovery that you can actually burn salt water if you zap it with just the right radio frequency, fueling hopes that plain old seawater could someday be converted to abundant clean energy. Researchers have found that water forms a floating bridge when exposed to high voltages. Other researchers also recently discovered that you can make water stay frozen at very warm temperatures if you coat it with a special diamond mixture. These are all surprising twists stemming from H2O—the abundant substance we all thought we knew so well.


Harvard physicists have found that specially treated diamond coatings can keep hot water in a frozen state.The researchers said the finding may be useful in certain medical implants, although others argue that diamonds might cause blood clots. In either case, the big news was that diamonds can make water solid. The Harvard team found that even a very thing layer of diamond coated with sodium atoms will keep warm water in a solid state up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
