Personal Development Blog | Stanley F. Bronstein, Mr. Achievement
Let’s be clear about this: Mr. Achievement has one purpose in life, and that is to help you find your purpose in life and achieve it.
Now, it may (may) turn out that in having Mr. Achievement help you find your one purpose in life, you also might discover that your one purpose in life —like that of the titular Mr. Achievement—is to help people find their purpose in life and achieve it. So, please prepare yourself for this. Because it could get weird fast.
The point is: this is the Mr. Achievement, okay?
So.
- If you’re struggling to find your purpose in life (and/or achieve it), you’d do well to go straight to the man whose name, literally, is “Achievement.”
- Just because you learn enough from Mr. Achievement to find your purpose in life and achieve it—and to potentially, in turn, help other people find their purpose in life and achieve it—does not mean you’re also entitled to call yourself, “Mr. Achievement.”
Because there’s only one Mr. Achievement. And that’s Stanley F. Bronstein. Whom, as you may have heard, is also known as Mr. Achievement.
Yep. Another band I learned about from “Yo Gabba Gabba!”
Still-sparkling
BET Awards celebrate Michael Jackson - CNN.com
Like a well worn but still-sparkling glove, BET slid easily into Michael Jackson mode Sunday as the network’s annual awards show began.
Ok. Wait. Let me get a pencil and a nice Xanax.
- This glove sparkles. Still sparkles. Despite being “well-worn.” I’m struggling to reconcile that. But, no matter.
- The inexplicable glove simile is used to modify BET, right? Read the sentence again. Ok, why not? BET is a glove. That still-sparkles. And is well-worn. Sure. Moving on.
- So, what is it that’s sliding into this glove? Aha! Exactly! Nothing. It is the glove that is sliding into something else. Got it? BET is a glove. That still-sparkles. And is well-worn. And is—contrary to a more traditional application of the metaphor—sliding into something else. But, what will this glove slide into, you ask?
- A “mode.” The glove is sliding into a “mode.” While still-sparkling.
- The “mode” is “Michael Jackson mode.” And now it has a glove in it.
Later, awards will be distributed.

Forgot about this. 12 seconds from a morning when Ellie was about 9 months old.
Gosh, I like that kid.
Love those crazy eyes.
43 Folders: Omnibus Ad Hoc Creativity Affordance (BETA!)
Obviously, this is still in a very early beta—mostly a proof-of-concept at this point.
WARNING! Although I will try to polish this release soon, PLEASE DO NOT USE OAHCA TO ACTUALLY MAKE ANYTHING.
Remember, creativity is a very unstable thing. Never attempt to start a project until:
- you know you know everything
- you know you have perfect tools
- you know you can’t fail
Seriously. Don’t even start.
