TECHNICAL READING REVOLUTION

It is amazing the types of documents you and I have sent to us, signed by us, and approved by us. These tedious strings of lawyeristic blah blah blah are used to cover the butt of business and government world wide. They are created with the help of there paid servants, government workers and politicians. Who is the audience of these prospectus, tax forms, insurance forms, bank privacy notices and other corporate CYA drivel? You and me.

Right now on the Rhino’s desk is a small book like document called Transamerica Index Mutual Funds (a prospectus). This long boring piece of information is complete with subscript table of contents and everything else. It is designed to inform me. To be informed it would take me a couple of hours or more.

Recently I rolled over a couple of 401ks for someone from a company that decided they did not want to have that person continue with there investment management when they left. You have a choice. Sit down and figure out how to do the roll over (tedious, paperworkey, expensive if you screw up)or seek “professional” advice. Most of this type of advice wants to sell you something (with lots of words attached). All this is your responsibility. Why, because the people who represent you at state and national levels are owned and operated by those who want representatives to put the monkey on your back.

Should you have to spend more than 1 hour doing your taxes? If the government wants your money they can send you an accurate one page of your earnings and deductions. They and the money changers have all this info anyway. Companies and the government, not providing accurate information should be fined and imprisoned. You should be able to sue both for thier negligence

The law of the land world wide should be that all documents, and financial and property transaction, should be able to be done and understood by a sixth grader in no more than 30 minutes. Not because we can’t do more but because we shouldn't have to. Six grade classes could be used for research and payments for that research could be used for the schools.

The Rhino sees this as a good first step in giving the power of wealth and government back to the people. American (or your countries) workers first. Wealth is owned by the citizens. Let’s shake the money tree.

CREATIVE REALIZATION

Every once in a while it is necessary for the Rhino to give his "Clark Kent" identity to someone. Often dealing with banker or people selling you a new toilet it is customary to exchange cards so that person can get in touch with you. Those outside of the entertainment industry might find it hard to remember why they are doing business with Johnny Rhino.

It seemed like a good time for the Rhino to create a card so he could hand it out to the proctologist and such. After inserting the name in the card template the rhino considered the descriptive term he might use before inserting address phone number etc. Most of the day, when the Rhino is not goofing off, he is creating. Sometimes he does something similar to work which is referred to as skills practice. So the Rhino decided to confer on himself the title of Creative Realizer.

There seems to be a movement afoot to champion the creative folk among us. Richard Florida, in his book "The Rise of the Creative Class" writes about how this group is transforming work, leisure, community, and everyday life. He states that these beasts roam in "a place that enables them to reflect and reinforce their identities as creative people, pursuing the kind of work they choose and having access to a wide range of lifestyle amenities."

Many people and organizations are hesitant to jump head first in the creative waters. They don’t know how to swim there and feel they might drowned. Tom Peters in his writing Thriving on Chaos might encourage the jump. "A supervisor or cheif executive of a big firm not bent on creating dangerously is apt to lose his or her job or go out of business" says Peters. Might be true for one who wants to realize something new as well.

So now you have a swim coach. The Rhino, who has pursued creative reality for some years, would be glad to be of service. He is hanging out his shingle as a creative realizer. What can the Rhino help you realize?
