Look For What's Missing

Aloha!

Thank YOU for Visiting Today :)

"The more your find out about the world,

the more opportunities

there are 

to laugh at it."

Bill Nye 

('The Science Guy')

Hard Working Hawaiian

"Success is getting what you want;

Happiness

is wanting what you get."

Ingrid Bergman

"For something to catch on

you need to be able

to explain it in a sentence."

Al Masini

creator of hit television shows:

'Star Search' 

'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous'

'Entertainment Tonight'

'Sold Gold'

32 miniseries' & Specials

including: 'A Woman Called Golda'

(About Golda Meir, staring Ingrid Bergman

 - won 3 Emmy Awards)

“All of my ideas come from studying what’s not on the air,”

 Mr. Masini told The New York Times in 1986.

 “Most people think the simplest way to sell a show is to say it’s like another show.

 If ‘Cosby’ is a hit, soon you get 10 ‘Cosby’ imitations.

 My attitude has always been to look for what’s missing. . .

  . . . then I try to fill the need.”

In 1980, when “Solid Gold”

 was about to begin its long run,

 he flew from his New York office to Los Angeles so he 

could

 personally choreograph the dance numbers.

“Sure, we had a choreographer,” he later told The Times,

 “but I knew what I wanted.

 I can’t be happy unless I have complete control.”

Mr. Masini came to Hawaii to produce 

the 1998 "Miss Universe Pageant" 

fell in love with our community

and stayed on.

He is credited as convincing the producers

 of the television series'

  "Baywatch" and "Pacific Blue" to film here.

We like to sound smart.

And we think to do this

 by using big words,

many words,

jargon.

The most "intelligent" people

such as professors

and straight  "A" students

are the most guilty of this.

In the recent election

we voted on some amendments and such

that were SO impenetrable

that I could get but a general idea

what they were about,

let alone what specific choice

I needed to make.

And what about instruction booklets?

The people who wrote them

know what they mean to say

and it's just too bad

that it makes no logical sense

to us.

But it's not only jargon.

A whole 

"You know what I mean"

culture

has taken over broadcast journalism.

There is no longer even a pretense

of comprehensive

factual

news.

But there is a lot of giggling

cooking

and pets.

I like pets

but the News Greats

interpreted the world for us

instead of doing expose`

on the best place

to buy cupcakes.

The good news is:

Simplicity

&

Clarity

Stand Out.

Everyone's so used to sounding smart,

or entertaining,

that we have forgotten the power of a 

few simple words.

I hate you.

I love you.

Please stay.

I think that we over-intellectualise everything

to our hurt.

Religion is about thinking;

A life of faith is about feeling,

acting, and being.

Who cares what you call it?

Kindness

 is the universal language.

Gratitude is a big concept.

Let's have a conference about it.

I'll get sponsors

you book a hotel.

Clear your calendars

for one month, one year

from now.

Or better yet:

Stop thinking for just a moment.

Close your eyes.

Breathe.

Say out loud:

"Thank You for my life;

For this day."

If you do this daily

you will not write an essay about grattitude

you will begin living it.

Surprising stuff will occur.

Things will develop

and change

in most delightful

surprising ways.

I know.

I haven't been "thinking"

for quite some time now.

And I've never been happier.

Somehow my life has improved

instead of falling apart

as the ego threatens.

Weekends are a good time to start

it will feel strange at first;

stop being smart

and start allowing

wisdom.

Out of the mouths of babes

and bloggers. . .
