January 24 he put a gun in his mouth

jeff noel slogan think differently
Love how Disney Institute has adopted my business tag-line .think .differently (see the darker text near the bottom)

 

January 24 (today), in 2013, he put a gun in his mouth.

He was at his work desk.

He sent an email to dozens of people just before he took his life.

Received his email the minute he hit enter.

i called him immediately.

Thought it was some stupid joke.

After the first ring, i hung up.

“What if he’s not joking?”

Hell is real and no one is immune.

After four years, i just feel compelled this morning to write this – bad things happen to good people.

The beauty of daily writing (for 3,200+ consecutive days) is that it’s healthy in a way i never knew when i did not write..

There is no email subscription option on my blogs, no place to comment, and i don’t actively recommend these personal blogs to anyone.

Even though his letter clearly stated why Scott did this, we will never understand Scott’s why.

What do you see through your lens?

after
After the fact, the crazy idea becomes socially accepted.

 

Outliers are initiators.

Why?

Doesn’t matter.

What matters – and what few appreciate – is that outliers initiators change things for the better.

Initiators go places no one has been before.

Before their discovery becomes accepted, outliers are…

Heretics, lunatics, oddballs, antagonists.

Maybe, but through my lens, dreamers.

On the final night in Mom’s apartment

Granite Park Chalet
No, it’s not a Church, but Granite Park Chalet can easily pass as a place of worship.

 

On the final night in Mom’s apartment:

  • Watched the Hallmark Channel (her favorite)
  • All the Hallmark movies are celebrating Christmas
  • Watched from her chair (her non-negotiable spot, which was also her bed)

Sounds simple and unremarkable – the perfect ending to our last visit together.
