More From Tom Peters

Masochists are people that have pleasure confused with pain. in a world that has television confused with entertainment, doritoes confused with food, and dan quayle confused with a national political leader, masochists are clearly less mixed-up than the rest of us.
Pain Confused People
Sometimes during the day, i consciously focus on some ordinary object and allow myself a momentary "paying-attention." this paying-attention gives meaning to my life. i don't know who it was, but someone said that careful attention paid to anything is a window into the universe. pausing to think this way, even for a brief moment, is very important. it gives quality to my day.

At the end of the day, no amount of investing, no amount of clean electrons, no amount of energy efficiency will save the natural world if we are not paying attention to it - if we are not paying attention to all the things that nature give us for free: clean air, clean water, breathtaking vistas, mountains for skiing, rivers for fishing, oceans for sailing, sunsets for poets, and landscapes for painters. what good is it to have wind-powered lights to brighten the night if you can't see anything green during the day? just because we can't sell shares in nature doesn't mean it has no value.

Trying Looks Attention
I'm making a lot of money. i should be paying a lot more taxes. i'm not paying taxes at a rate that is even close to what people were paying under eisenhower. do people think america wasn't ascendant and wasn't an upwardly mobile society under eisenhower in the '50s? nobody was looking at the country then and thinking to themselves, "we're taxing ourselves into oblivion." yet there isn't a politician with balls enough to tell that truth because the whole system has been muddied by the rich. it's been purchased.
Country Thinking America
Do stuff. be clenched, curious. not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. pay attention. it's all about paying attention. attention is vitality. it connects you with others. it makes you eager. stay eager.
