"Default Travel Partners"

I don't mean to make a post that appears to be non-nonsensical or shallow however, I have been on the train for the past 12 hours taking an overnighter from upstate New York to Chicago. Thankfully the ride has been for the most part very calming and my space has been private...riding coach of course we never know whats gonna happen next.

That said, I have had both seats of which I chose the window option. After a decent nights sleep at a 30 degree angle that is, I woke to sunshine and beautiful landscape out my window side.

I then encountered a "Default Travel Partner" or (DTP). I am not sure if this is such a word but for me now it is. So the DTP began talking the moment he sat down asking questions and telling me about his life. Now, I don't want to be rude but I am not always looking to make everyone my friend whilst in the space of travel. Of course, there is a limit to everything and embracing humanity is necessary. We need it!

But how does one deal with this situation? The DTP wants to talk about his Indian dancing career and how he is travelling to Utah to become a professional wrestler. Not that this isn't interesting stuff because in someways this is some really interesting conversation. But then again, that limit kicks in and I don't want to feel bad yet I begin to ignore slowly pacing his jibber jabber down to a quiet nothing.

Is this proper adequate?

Have I left him sad or disappointed?

Will he forgive me?

Well, I guess if I cordially say a fair-well and grant a smile of peace and love all will be good. I suppose the vibes or energetic fields between two people left in peace is most important. But let's not hold bad vibes toward him. He is just trying to be friendly and make a friend. So I embrace you, give up some of my personal space and send good vibrations your way Mr. DTP!

Peter Drucker on happiness of people

We live in an time where the world is truly changing at a rapid pace. Transparency is becoming a higher virtue and clarity is beginning to kreep into the mind of western culture. However, we are only in the beginning of it all and what we live for, why we are alive and how we conduct our lives is under investigation more than ever. Peter Drucker maintained that it was through volunteering in nonprofits that people would find the kind of fulfillment that he originally thought would be provided through their place of work. The youth is rising up to make change, fulfill on hope and rewrite the agenda of what matters and what is important in todays ever changing and increasingly transparent platform for the matters of the world. Peter Drucker made an impact on business and society that will never be forgotten. May the next generation to his lead and follow in footsteps of living a virtuous life.
