We Are Back!


NF is back! Let these two new posts be the beginning of a regularly updated blog. Plan on posts and posts. This is a great time for Nonfiction! We are constantly working on making “it” work. Above is a sample image I have been working on for the NF logo. RIO and I feel like the Logo’s natural color should be yellow. Tell us what you think about that? Picture the yellow used in this design and the standard logo. If I am able to get to it tonight I will post a Yellow NF for all to see. For those of you who don’t work tomorrow…enjoy the early Friday!

Legacy


For far too many of us, getting back to basics and starting from scratch sounds far too familiar, but really that's what's so great about life and the opportunities we've been so blessed to have. For Non-Fiction we've chosen not to pick up from where we left off but are fortunate to look towards a new beginning. A new chapter to a new novel, that starts with Commitment and ends in LEGACY.

In the wake of the passing of our beloved Michael J. Jackson better known as "the King of Pop" I couldn't help but feel for the Legacy he's left behind. While many of us choose to remember him for his music, his dance, his art ... other's found his embarrassments, his debts and his "freak" like nature much more appealing.

I fear that this will also be the case for many of us, while we will all go on to do great things, the things we do in passing or in the meantime will ultimately blemish or even worse, tarnish our own legacies. As important as it is that we do things right the first time around it's just as important when given another opportunity we make the most of it, living our lives not solely for the benefit of ourselves, but also for those around us and more importantly those who will follow. True LEGACY isn't up to us to determine.

Turning points


As I gear up to graduate. I started to think... What does it really mean? Graduating is an accomplishment but by what standards. Surely it's probably better to finish what you started.. However maybe It's more about the experience than the diploma. Tell me what you think about graduating? What does it mean to? And what do you think Orvy could do MORE in this design to represent all of these growing pain? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

School...


Yes school. So something I listened too today really got my head going. "Education is NOT the key to success, It is merely a tool that can lead to being successful"

We focus on school so much. GPA = success. I have seen so many people who have no work skills.... but they have the ability to study for 2 weeks straight and be mad about a 98.5 on a test. Taking tests arent life skills and never well be. Now life testing you thats much different. I am by no meaning downing education. Its very important to progressing, but its more about your learning development and process and less about the tangible "paper" results. The more we focus on numbers the more we miss the point. Education is just another experience we have that leads to growing. Aight I am done.
