To prepare for my blog, I \u201cmilk\u201d the net. \u200eThis improves both the quality and depth of my writing. I currently \u200eblog in two different languages: one is foreign, while the other, \u200ealthough native, simply does not flow in its former natural rhythm. In \u200eboth cases, I utilize the web to search for synonyms, check spelling \u200eand verify word combinations. Here I have found a brilliant paradise \u200ewhere all searches are carried out with simplicity and ease. Much to \u200emy demise, however, here to be found is also a cursed playground \u200ewhere it becomes ever so easy to just hang out and play\u2026 \u200e<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What\u2019s a blogger to do?\u200e<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There is something magical (perhaps at times of the black kind) about \u200ethe web\u2019s luminous reach. At any moment, through a webbed source \u200eof wands, it is possible to access countless ideas, interviews, people, \u200estories, news and documents. Every search expands the network of \u200eideas which connect and merge. Similarly, each new quest threatens \u200eto change the original blog post\u2019s topic unrecognizably.\u200e<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Outdoor Play as a Tool for Creativity<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you are seeking to <a href=\"http:\/\/hbne.co.il\/?p=1704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bring more creativity into your life<\/a>, might I \u200esuggest some outdoor activity? While unsure of the exact mechanics, \u200eit works like a charm, time and time again. Every Saturday morning I \u200epack up to mountain bike with the gang. I fill up my \u201ccamel bag\u201d with \u200ewater and snacks and leave with a clear intention of the week\u2019s post. \u200eIt may be only semi formed but the topic and some basic links are \u200eclear. Throughout our 3-4 hour bike ride I become flooded with pearls \u200eof wisdom and links of how to tie the post together. By the end of our \u200eride I am anxious to return home and begin writing. \u200e<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Suddenly I am lost within the web. It is always a tossup exactly how \u200ethe adventure will end: ever weary of the rampant flow of villains and \u200eheroines lurking beyond the screen who will lure me into their lair. \u200eOnce inside, my post will be hijacked off route\u2026 Such was the story of \u200ethis week\u2019s blog. \u200e<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I stumble across a fascinating Ted lecture and am lead off track to \u200einvestigate something else. As always, the information can be used to \u200eadd another creative and imaginative connection, set aside for future \u200euse or merely as another way to dally and put off the task at hand. \u200e<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Swept away by an engaging and passionate man with a vision, I \u200epaused to watch his Ted lecture and then promptly joined his \u200ecommunity of visionaries.\u200e<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>This was his call to action:\u200e<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><em>What is the work you can\u2019t not do?

This was the wake up call which rocked his world, \u200ethe day that he said goodbye: quit his job and followed his heart. He \u200ediscovered a Gallop Poll on the subject of employee engagement at \u200ework. It was disheartening to learn that the majority of workers in the \u200eworld are not engaged at work.

While the raw results were not published, it does \u200estate that countries were included in the study only if at least 300 \u200epeople answered the poll. While researching this blog I came upon \u200eother studies of employee engagement. All of the data points to an \u200eaverage engagement of but 20-30% of employees at work. The results \u200eare far from encouraging, neither for the employees nor for the \u200eemployers.\u200e<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I won\u2019t dwell on the immense contribution which employee \u200einvolvement brings to both the company and the employee.
