Steps In The Continuum
Can I have some Doritos, please?" Now, if we take a couple of steps down this imaginary line, down this continuum, we move to the people that I call the Bahamas/Aspen People. Those are the people who make just enough money to afford maybe two weeks or maybe a month of skiing in Aspen and then once the money runs out they come back and they'll find another job and make just enough money and go maybe down to the Bahamas and catch some rays and maybe some fish. And after that has pretty much taken its course, they'll go back and find another job. The Bahamas/Aspen People.
Then you move a couple of steps in the continuum, you're a little farther away from the Sealy Posturepedic People, but you're still a Sealy Posturepedic Person. In fact, it's like you took the bedsheet here and kind of brought it with you. You're not really in the bed, you're not a complete sluggard, but you still have hold of it. And now, you're what I call the windfall people. The consultant type person.
You are the man or the woman and some years, you are rolling. Everything is great. The windfall, the money is coming in. You are riding high, but for the next five years, nothing. And you sit there sometimes on the end of the bed, the Sealy Posturepedic Person, and you wonder, "Oh, I've got to make money, but I'll just sit back and relax and think of different of ways that I can make some more money. And, I have this deal coming up, honey, and I promise you, two years from now when this deal closes, everything will be O.K.
New house and new car," and you put your spouse and your children on a roller coaster ride. The Windfall Person. You move to the middle of the continuum and you have the consistent Biblical wage earner. Now, he's not too close to the hypodermic needlewe'll talk about this giant needle in a second, because a lot of us are getting shots day in and day out by that needle. It's not too close to the sluggard Sealy Posturepedic Person.
Ed Young Blog said remember John and Yoko? Didn't they have some deal that was in the Viet Nam War? They were in the bed, the peace thing? Well, you've seen the highlights of that. I don't particularly like John and Yoko, but I remember them having this press conference out of their bedroom, and I thought of this as I began to study.
