The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.
Albert Einstein
It’s the first day of the Autumn Season and I hope you feel the energy of this day, i.e., a new beginning. Here in the Midwest, a few trees and low shrubbery are beginning to show their Fall colors of gold, orange and red. So I wonder, do you have time for yourself, have your timed out of a deadline or are you timely in submitting your project update. Whatever today’s timetable/calendar holds for you to accomplish, I’d like to share a news article with you.
Early this morning, I read an article about Albert Einstein and his prediction, known as the “Time Dilation.” (While there are a few definitions of the word Dilation, it is often referred to as the swelling of your iris, during an eye-exam.) The article is entitled, “Einstein’s ‘Time Dilation’ Prediction Verified.” Scientists have conclusively verified, “That time moves slower for a moving clock than a stationary one.” In other words, motion speed slows down our aging process if we travel in a speed rocket.
Since many of us will not have the opportunity to travel via a speed rocket, we are able to consider how often we recognize, when we are busy, time flies by. If we become stationary, we have a different sense of how we manage our time. Rushing to finish a task at work doesn’t necessarily mean it will be done well. Yet we may actually feel time moving much more quickly because we are in motion. Perhaps Einstein’s Theory also helps us understand why we feel it takes less time to come home from an event than it took to reach the event.
I must govern the clock, not be governed
by it. Golda Meir
As you Choose Who You Want to be Known as this week, I hope you manage your time, are timely and won’t be timed out of a deadline. Have a great week!

This brief blog was posted this afternoon on the social medial platform LinkedIn. Please join the conversation.
Social Responsibility, giving back to society and sharing your experience with others are all examples of Servant Leadership. We do what we can with our own resources of time, energy, effort, kindness, creativity and goodness to change our own world.
I recently moved to Chicago and can attest seeing examples of servant leadership on the Chicago Transit system given to others who either have or are perceived to have a disability. Bus Drivers and passengers alike demonstrate these examples of servant leadership. It’s a cultural way of life – treating folks like folks.
This week, the Social Media platform of LinkedIn has undertaken a global social
conversation of how you either change or improve the world at 2030#NOW. Please join
the conversation and share how your own resources of time, energy, effort, kindness,
creativity and goodness change your world.
Thank you.

Here’s a Post which was published by LinkedIn.com within the past half-hour.:
“Have you ever been told, “That’s not what you are supposed to do. That responsibility belongs to someone else.” While you may have a Title for your position, it doesn’t necessarily explain what you actually do. A Form usually relates to one thing and a Function relates to the activity of a specific Form.
The answer may lie in what binds the Function to the Form, whether by a job description, perceptions, testimonials or accomplishments. As we begin to think about our upcoming Labor Day – how would you describe what you do – is it Form over Function or Function over Form?
What do your customers expect from you. . . Function or Form? How often has it happened to you that you visit a retail store and what you wanted to buy is not sold by the Form name of the retail store? Perhaps you contacted an Accounting firm, only to learn that the specialty service you want to hire is not found within the firm’s members? Form over function sounds simple, but it isn’t.
Another way of looking at form over function and function over form is to consider the word “feedback”. Is feedback just a comment or response, or your understanding of what was said, or advice, or an opinion or a demonstration of your listening skills? While you may have merely given encouragement to someone’s decision, it was received as advice, which was not your intention. Perhaps this topic is another puzzle for us to work out in our careers because we live in a fluid, every-changing world.
Consider as you Choose How You Want to be Known As, what is your answer to the Form or Function question. Have a great day!”
