What is the rule of three?
3 is a powerful number!
I learned about the rule of three this morning while reading Rick Otton’s great new book called “How to buy a house for a Dollar.”
It turns out I already knew about the rule of three. Or should I clarify, I already experienced it. I wasn’t aware there was such a rule but as I read about it this morning it reminded me of an experience I had many years ago where I applied it.
You see, the rule of three is an action rule. You put it into play. It’s not a rule you hang up on the wall and admire. It’s one you apply. And, when you apply it, you get wonderful results. After all, that’s why it’s called a “rule!” It gets the title because it works. Why does it work … I’ll leave that for the scholars. But, I know from direct experience that it does.
By the way, in case your interested, here’s the rule of three as stated by Rick in his book on page 62.
The solution to the US economic crisis!
The US Treasury. Going, going ...
Thanks Mom!
I can always count on my Mom. She’s generally always right. And, I think this time is no exception.
You see, she seems to have found the answer to the US economic crisis. Yes, that’s right; the solution. Solved. Done. Dusted. No worries.
How did she find it?
Who’s excited about accounting?
Not me, that’s for sure!
I’m not really into accounting. But, then again, I’m not really into a lot of things. Just add accounting to the list.
But, accounting is different. I’m not into it, but I feel I need to be.
Do I need to get excited about it?
No.
But, I probably should pay attention to it. I probably should get a better understanding of it. I probably should get proficient in this aspect of a business person’s game.
Yes, I know bits and pieces. I know a lot of the jargon. I’ve gathered it third hand from other people. People who aren’t necessarily accountants, but write about it like they are. Write about it like they’re experts. And, me, not knowing much about accounting, take this information in wholesale. Without too much questioning as I don’t have the background to say, “Hey, wait a minute, that’s not right!”
So, how do I go about elevating my accounting knowledge; lifting my accounting game?
My first footy game!
Footy ... great game!
Footy. What a game.
Does the word excitement mean anything to you?
Well, it took on a new meaning for me as I attended my first Australian Football League (AFL) game last Saturday night.
Is there a cure for Linsanity?

A cure for Linsanity?
Sorry to say, there is none.
But, who wants to be cured anyway?
It would be like trying to cure happiness. Why bother? I like being happy. No thanks, I’ll pass on the cure.
If you’ve already got Linsanity, then I recommend you just go with the flow. Enjoy it. Savor every moment. Relish the post game highlights. Feel excited for this young lad who – seemingly – came out our nowhere and launched a tsunami of excitement on an unsuspecting basketball world. And, Linsanity casts a wide net as the epedemic goes beyond basketball borders and beyond geographical boarders. This is a world wide phenomena.
Why?
