Order of (5) Five Priorities in Life

by C. Henry Adams


When I was a child growing up in my modern-day tribe called,
' Kevin Heights Neighborhood ' of the village called, ' Collier Heights ' of Atlanta, Ga USA; I heard my parents often say this,  " Boy,  you better get your priorities straight or in order! "Of course, I asked quietly to myself under my breath, " What are priorities? "

It turns out that priority in its singular form; is anything that you regard as being important.

That being said, there are many priorities in all our daily lives.  But, for the sake of time, which happens to be a manageable priority (LOL), I will just focus on (5) five priorities.

Those items are; Spiritual Guidance, Mental Stability, Physical Stability, Self Sufficiency and Family.

When one thinks of the management of their individual life, position in life, authority as a leader ( Business, Non-Profit Organization or Community), perhaps they should order their steps while living.

Basically, the arrangement or disposition of the (5) five items could help create a positive system in one's life to exist well.

Order of Priority

1)  Spiritual Guidance: Each living creature on Earth possess some type of animation or motion while alive. But, it would seem odd to actually see a living being without a spirit. Fore, human beings appear to behave uniquely.  Could we assume that how we conduct oneself goes beyond our earthly & scientific knowledge, as well as, understanding? If this is possible, then seeking wisdom and insight from beyond might be worth consideration.

2)  Mental Stability: To possess the abilities to learn;  to be able to feel, express and manage a range of positive and negative emotions.  To become a ' People's Person ' (People skills or soft skills) or consider developing relationships with people is beneficial. Learn to cope with and manage change and uncertainty.

3)  Physical Stability:  To possess the ability to maintain a physically fit body while practicing good health.  This is coupled by getting sleep and eating healthy to say the very least, fore,
there are many other health related factors to consider.

4)  Self Sufficiency:  To possess the ability to satisfy one's own basic needs (e.g.  Earn income to satisfy one's needs, feed & take care of self, etc.)

5) Family:  To possess the ability to take care of one's family basic needs (e.g.  Earn income to satisfy family needs, feed & take care of family, etc.)

Perhaps, there are no perfect individuals or people on this Earth.  Therefore, let's consider that when you place the above mentioned priorities in the particular order from 1 to 5 of importance, things will not be the same for everyone.

However, should you pray while maintaining a positive mental attitude, then implementing some type of physical works to 1st help yourself, then others; good things may occur.

Just a thought process.  What do you say or think? 

Thanks!

Reflecting on what Father's Day means to Me

Marion Lewis Adams, Sr.
1923 - 1995

by C. Henry Adams

It was the Summer of 1979 and 12 months had passed since my brother Marion Lewis Adams, Jr. passed away while serving in the US Army.

Sadden by his death, yet, determine to move forward in life, my parents were outgoing people.

This particular year and season, my Father decided to take my Mother, my nephew and myself on a journey from the State of Georgia to California via car.

This journey took us through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California.   To name a few memorable sites; we saw where JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We ate Buffalo Burgers in Arizona.  We drove through the desert without air condition per advice of a Gas Station Attendant. We heard, ' Tie a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree ' a thousand times on the radio during travel.  (LOL)  We visited Las Vegas, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon.  We drove by a Car Wash in Los Angeles, California that reminded us of the 1976 Movie named 'Car Wash'.  We cross the Golden Gate Bridge to the disappointment of my nephew, fore, it did not appear gold, but red instead. We rode the San Francisco Street Cars or Trolleys.

Perhaps, this unique venture was a pivotal moment in life for all of us.

In fact, when I pass by the Atlantic Station in Downtown Atlanta, I don't always glance at its wonders.

Why? Well, before there was an Atlantic Station, there once was an Atlantic Steel Plant.  It was where my father worked over 30 years for this company from a switch-man in the Norfolk-Southern Railroad yard to a local Locomotive Engineer employed to ship in and out steel.

I recall when he once was a Crane Operator for the aforementioned; moving scrap metal from bucket rail-cars,when the boon of the crane fell backward on him nearly taking his life.   Yet, as a US Veteran & Montford Point Marine (USMC), his motto was to finish what you start while never giving up the fight.

I realized that I slightly jumped off the tangent here, therefore, allow me to realign.

I would summarize that memories of my late Father aren't a once a year thing.

Fore, I reflect on his ordinary capability to do extraordinary things in life daily.

That being said, if you are a Father or even a Mother, please don't think for once you struggle alone or that your struggles to move forward in life are fruitless.

Yes, struggling is real, but the love, devotion and commitment you give your children are too.

Please continue to be blessed and a blessing to others knowingly or unknowingly.

Happy Father's Day!

A Quick Review of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Small Business Exchange and Matchmaking Event - Atl, GA GSU 060519

by C. Henry Adams

I will be the first to admit that we are all human, therefore due diligence must apply in all aspects of doing business.

Having attended a prior engagement on Wednesday June 5th 2019, I missed two things on the program agenda: 1) Opening Remarks and  2)  How to Do Business with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC").

I can hear someone say, ' So why am I reading your blog at this point!? '  

Answer:  Because, all was not completely loss, IF you arrived late to the event.

In fact, the NRC was quite prepared to accommodate Contractors or Small Businesses with Personnel that was disabled by blindness or were deaf to say the very least.

I was impressed with the Networking Break and Expand Your Small Business Growth with Government Agencies on the Agenda. (A deaf-interpreter was on duty.)

The NRC left business cards on the display table embossed in braille for the blind.   Furthermore, the NRC left a three mini disc pamphlet set that possess 2011-2012 Information Digest, Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2008-2013 and 'Making Our Business Your Business'.

This organization greatly impressed myself by providing seven overall opportunities: 1) contact information for the NRC, 2) research information on the NRC , 3) the ability to do business with the NRC, 4) CDC - U.S. Center for Disease Control, 5)  GSA - U.S. General Service Administration , 6)  the Fulton County Georgia Government and finally - 7) the ability to network with other companies.

Much appreciation goes out to Georgia State University for accommodating this event.

Thanks!

A Quick Review of R.E.V.I.V.E. City of Atlanta Business Expo 2019

by C. Henry Adams


Having pursued the chance to contract with the City of Atlanta with no immediate success and great difficulty years ago; I was weary regarding visiting the 2019 City of Atlanta Business Expo.

Nevertheless, the Georgia World Congress Center was an ideal location for an expo.

It was a honor to standby when Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms made her entrance with entourage.

I thought the continental  breakfast was nice.

Also, a chance to network with Other Local Government Entities, Non-Profit Entities, For-Profit Companies and Business Owners was nice too.

As an early morning riser, I'm learning that being  ' On Time means to be ahead of time, period. '

If one steps into an Expo Hall when it officially opens and the exhibitors are still setting up exhibits or have yet to arrive, what should be interpret?

Pressed for time, I did not make an attempt to visit any break-out sessions.

Final comment:  Due diligence must apply in all aspects of doing business.

Thanks!

The Importance of BGP or Border Gateway Protocol to Telecommunications

by C. Henry Adams


Imagine for a moment that you own a smartphone or cellular phone that access the Internet, not to mention - allowed you to receive or send video images of yourself (Telecom & Video Caller A) to another individual (Telecom & Video Caller B)  to say the very less.

OK, its Sunday, June 9th 2019, this mere technology just mention is no longer a figment of the imagination, but a reality.

That being said, I can hear those of my generation saying, " DUH "  or another generation saying, " REALLY C. Henry !? ".

(LOL)

Well, here is my poignant statement,  " Pay close attention to high technology and learn all that you can about it. "

Why?  Well, from an ordinary person, investor and business owner point of view; it is important to identify what could have vast effects on your daily life, investments or business.

So, speaking in those regards from a telecommunications stand point; when a little bird tweets on your screen regarding information that's not fake news in reference to technology, whether it be on your desktop computer, laptop computer, electronic tablet, smartphone, smartwatch, video game, in your vehicle or even IoT Household appliances; take a moment to read or listen for comprehension.

So, what is the end game of this discussion?   Answer: Learn about BGP or Border Gateway Protocol.

What?   BGP is a large scale Internet Protocol utilized to exchange routing and other information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Gateway_Protocol

Quick Example: BGP Technology allows you (Telecom & Video Caller A) to speak /Video chat with that person (Telecom & Video Caller B) who is visiting Europe from the US with the new smartcard chip they just purchased prior to riding the local train in Paris, France.


Thanks!

Looking In The Wrong Direction

by C. Henry Adams


In the form of a cliché;  I heard someone say, " Man, close your eyes, because you are looking in the wrong direction. "

How many times have we all looked in the wrong direction in life?

To even try and grasp the thought or understand the statement above, perhaps, there is a need to define it first.

Consider the meaning of  ' Close your eyes, because you are looking in the wrong direction ' to say that you are pursuing an answer to a problem while seeking the wrong steps to resolve it.

Perhaps, if we live a lifetime from birth to old age, there are (4) four events within our life-cycle that we may or may not experience on this Earth.  It is likely, that we will not have control over each of the following circumstances:

1)  Our own Childhood Development
2)  The likelihood of one or more disasters occurring of some magnitude.
3)  A form of despair with hope restored.
4)  Our own Old Age

The inability to control fate filled moments could be terrifying to think about, but I would like to encourage you NOT to fear. 

Instead, take a moment when one of the (4) four events mentioned above occur. Close your eyes to look within oneself for hope & expectation of positive changes while believing beyond one's conjecture to move forward.  Fore, prayer surely changes things.

Thanks!
