The Experience of Choice - The Story of Telling (Wed 08 Oct 2014)

Smile - Bologna (Fri 29 Aug 2014)
Bernadette (*) writes on Experience (*) and Choice (*):

Making things people want goes beyond the making of the thing. How we create experiences, tell stories and give our customer’s stories to tell matters. [..]

because as Bernadette (*) concludes:

when we have an option we will always choose how something feels, before we choose how it tastes, looks or works.

Experiences Matter! - Vern Gambetta (Sun 29 May 2011)

Experiences Matter! - Vern Gambetta (e) (Sun 29 May 2011)

Experiences Matter!

It is not so much about the number of years of experience one has, the depth is what really counts.

Depth comes from experiences.

[It is p]ossible to have one experience many times over, [it is] more valuable to have a rich and varied [set of] experiences.

Here are some photos from the 2010 Asian Dragon Boat Championships, a great experience for us all, particularly Joanne and myself:

On Experiences, Understanding and Behaviour (Marshalle McLuhan)

Everybody experiences far more than he understands. Yet it is experience, rather than understanding, that influences behavior.

Our Lives are Moulded and Shaped by Pivotal Experiences - Jeremy Rolleston (Mon 14 Mar 2011)

Whether triumphs or tragedies, our lives are moulded and shaped by pivotal experiences.

Perhaps we receive a long-awaited promotion or we’re suddenly let go from a job. Perhaps a loved one passes away, or a newborn baby enters our lives.

These experiences immerse us in emotions and challenge our convictions.

Oftentimes, we’re defined not so much in the moment of experience itself as in our response to the experience.

Do we quit or rebound? Do we harbour bitterness or choose to forgive? Do we blame or improve?

Whatever the case, the experiences in our lives profoundly touch us.

From So what is ‘A Life That Counts’ anyway ? by Jeremy Rolleston.

The experiences you create are the moments that define you.

The experiences you create are the moments that define you.

Such a simple sentence - such a strong message.

The Hawkesbury Canoe Classic being just one recent example for me (I am still trying to write something up about the night. The words and motivation will come to me at some stage) ..
