Tom Collins Author Official Blog: We Were Robbed!
http://www.tomcollinsauthorblog.com/2015/05/we-were-robbed.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. Once we moved, we told the contractor, “Thank you but we will take it from here.”. Oops, the money was gone. So were three of my wife’s rings that were also in that basket including her 53 year old wedding band. Now getting nervous, I checked where I kept my watches and rings. Two very special rings were gone —. A 22ct gold David Yurman piece with the image of a horse in black jade and a second gold ring with a carnelian carved by the German artist, Manfred Wild. Works by the Author.

Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Πόλλ' οἶδ' ἀλώπηξ, ἀλλ' ἐχῖνος ἓν μέγα. The above ancient Greek text translates as "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." A surprising number of fables and modern stories have been inspired by this bit of text attributed to Archilochus. Jim Collins even included a version of one in his book Good to Great. Collins explains it this way:. 8220;Picture two animals: a fox and a hedgehog. Which are you? With the minimum resources. And Doing Things Right.

Tom Collins Author Official Blog: September 2014
http://www.tomcollinsauthorblog.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. Can an enemy win by losing? What would you think of a story were a militarily advanced industrial society, MAIS, is pitted against a non-industrialized cult enemy? Let us call them The Cult. The Cult’s generals have identified the MAIS’s military might as their weakness. Tactically, The Cult commits acts so abhorrent to civilized mores that the MAIS is compelled to attack, and attack and attack. What do you think? Does this seem believable? Does it make a good story? In additi...

Tom Collins Author Official Blog: Our Next President
http://www.tomcollinsauthorblog.com/2015/01/our-next-president.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. Will the next president be a “problem solver”? Years of interviewing candidates for leadership positions have taught me.

Nor has solving a problem ever added value. At best things are just returned to where they should have been to start with. Go to http:/ amzn.com/B00IV5ZJEI. Published by I-65 North, Inc. Mark ...
