Introduction to the Pragmatic View!

My moniker is the Cardinal. I am an ex-techie who now operates as a project strategist and currently working on the ["Next Big Thing"].

This Cardinal believes in taking a practical approach to problems and is concerned primarily with the success or failure of her actions

Here is something about me: < (%)>
A Nobody from Nowhere. ...
* FOCUSES on being internal and consciously aware of one's own relationship toward man, earth and heaven.
* SPECIALIZES in "... linking the "NOW" to the planned result" through indirectness.
* ENSURES the clients that their current set of consultants are capable of achieving the planned result w/ great efficiency.
* STARTS by listening to what the clients needs and wants.
* DETERMINES what's pragmatic to their current situation, then show them how to transform good ideas into grand events (w/ the right ppl) f/ a specific cycle and beyond by developing a complete strategy that allows the client to get there.
* FINDS simple solutions to "difficult" problems.
* BELIEVES in the importance of proper preparation and "hush" operation by flashing through the silence of darkness like a glimmer of light.
* Also BELIEVES in implementing all strategies discreetly while distracting the opposition w/ othr matters.
* PLAYS the game of "waiting f/ the 'grand' opportunity" while controlling and propeling 'forward momentum' toward the target.

The key principle is my approach is to SUBJUGATE the dominant paradigm. ... B-) ~o) (%)

This blog is a placeholder for some of my previous articles on strategy, leadership and other matters on "How the World Is".

My weekend interests lie between cycling in "linear, circular, and figure-eight patterns" while reading books on world history, global economics, quantum sciences, and military strategies during break time.
