THE ART OF ACHIEVEMENT: 10 PRICELESS LESSONS FROM CLAUDE MONET -- You know his paintings, but do you know the legacy of lessons he left for all us? You might not be a painter, but you certainly have the power to create -- so why not learn from the best? THE UNEXPECTED ROAD TO MEANINGFUL COINCIDENCE -- Can a spark plug conspire with unseen forces to teach lessons about synchronicity? It can and it did, on New Year's Eve, on the way to a funeral service. GETTING UNPLUGGED IN A PLUGGED-IN WORLD -- Can you do nothing? That's right, NOTHING. Can you sit in utter calm for 15 straight minutes and do absolutely nothing and contemplate nothing and just let time pass without hearing the clock tick? I know, these are strange questions, especially when there's so much that needs to get done. Let's set them aside for a moment so I can tell you about Loretta. ASPIRING TO BE A LAMPLIGHTER -- What can Robert Louis Stevenson and a lamplighter from 1800s Scotland teach us about today's fast world? Quite a bit, if we read between the lines. In his poem "The Lamplighter," Stevenson recalls the evening view from his childhood home. He would watch the lamplighter firing up the outdoor oil lamps, and it seemed like a wonderful job. But is Stevenson talking about the work itself -- or about the aspiration of being a good person who casts a warm glow of kindness? Decide for yourself. FLYING THROUGH THE 'UGH-KNOWN' -- Barriers come in all shapes and sizes, but the ones that hold us back the most are those we create in our own mind. Such was the case 60 years ago, when advances in flight were bringing people closer and closer to the sound barrier. "We were flying through uncharted territory, the 'ugh'known' as we called it," wrote Chuck Yeager, the first test pilot to break through the barrier.
