Waiting: While counter intuitive, waiting is actually an action verb. What are you doing? "I am waiting". Hey, that doesn't make sense! Absolutely, it does. Lifting a coffee cup, pushing a wheelbarrow, and digging a hole are definitive action verbs. Everyone recognizes these. How about the phrases, driving me crazy, falling in love, and dreaming. Just figures of speech and not verbs? Perhaps, but they allude to the idea that not all actions are the result of bodily movement.

Waiting: While counter intuitive, waiting is actually an action verb. What are you doing? "I am waiting". Hey, that doesn't make sense! Absolutely, it does. Lifting a coffee cup, pushing a wheelbarrow, and digging a hole are definitive action verbs. Everyone recognizes these. How about the phrases, driving me crazy, falling in love, and dreaming. Just figures of speech and not verbs? Perhaps, but they allude to the idea that not all actions are the result of bodily movement. At the most basic level, waiting is allowing time to pass, recognizing that it is passing, and that there is a desired outcome at the other side of the elapsing time. By not doing something, or more appropriately, doing something else while you are not doing that other thing, you are absolutely taking action. Maybe, actually, even two actions: waiting and doing simultaneously. Even better. This is not about the what and why of making it from point A to B in life, but is about recognizing the need to have a strategy, thinking about the strategy, and how, ultimately, everything you do is a tactic getting you closer to your goals. But, the twist is that your calculated well planned actions are probably just something to do while you are waiting for the real actions to take place. This little text is about identifying and defining what waiting is, why it is important, ideas for waiting, and how to keep track of waiting so you are not slacking instead of waiting. It is not blue sky "imagine yourself sitting beside a gently flowing brook and becoming one with the water ", but about targeted, specific suggestions. With relevant suggestions, R.M. Dayton introduces the concepts of SoToDos, actions by age, and thought provoking exercise to lead the reader.
Autorenporträt
(The guy's got a CPA. No, not accounting, but a Compellingly Positive Attitude...) With a passion for innovation, Rick is continuously working on products, people, and processes. Whether maximizing margin on a business platform in China, optimizing proforma financials for strategic investment, or patenting a technology in magnetic induction heating, Rick is energetically engaged and spreading his "we can do this" enthusiasm. As a compellingly positive achiever, his work has enabled global corporate success. Accelerating revenue generation through product innovation and portfolio expansion, his skill in effectively managing cross-functional teams and generating and maintaining corporate enthusiasm to attain goals is a hallmark. The brevity of this book on so beneficial a life strategy is a good reflection of Rick's style. Author of ten patents, multiple texts, and actively engaged in three companies, there are few people with the energy and ability to maintain Rick's constant productivity - and smile.
