		<description>I agree that you are either improving or decaying - there is no standing still. However, standing in front of a video camera on one&#039;s own is no substitute for standing in front of a live audience. The dynamic is totally different. 

I do agree that the video camera is a powerful tool - when used to record a live presentation. That&#039;s when the real performance issues become apparent.</description>

		<description>Jon and Jeff,

Thanks for the insights and comments. 

I like that, &quot;Power to the life-long learner and those that embrace exploration!&quot;

Communicating is a life-long exploration.</description>

		<description>Great stuff, as always from the man (&amp; family) that understands communication well!

My take-away from this post: 
Our success and survival does not depend upon exposing ourselves to organized, pre-planned packets of information and the way we&#039;ve always done things. Our success and survival depends upon chaotic, reactive information gathering experiences. That&#039;s why one of our best attributes is the ability to learn through a series of increasingly self-corrected ideas.

		<description>The effort to constantly improve is the essence of success.  I often get frustrated because I have the desire to be successful at so many different things (presenting, blogging, golfing, martial arts, among others) but realize that there are only so many hours in a day to practice them all.

Excellence is never in  your grasp.  Excellence is the knowledge that you&#039;ve done as much as you can and realize that you&#039;ll continue to do that day in and day out.  You can never, ever stop.  Larry Bird never said &quot;Okay, I&#039;m one of the best basketball players to ever live.  I can take it easy on the practicing.&quot;  He would shoot hundreds, if not thousands, of shots every day to continually improve.</description>

		<description>Alan - 

Jeff speaks so highly of you, and I can see why. Great speaker, great pilot, not sure about the golf though...

Thanks for your comments. I know your goals are high.
