A Quick Story: I was coaching baseball with a friend of mine. Everything was going wrong. We were getting shelled. I was watching the defense, thinkng about the batting order, thinking about the mental attitudes of the kids on that day. This coach, turned to me and said, "Replogle doesn't have anything on the ball today." (Replogle was our pitcher) All of a sudden, all of my attention became focused on Replogle out on the mound. IT was like the whole universe had suddenly come swirling to a point and focused my eyes right on that one spot, and guess what, Gary, my coach, was right. I had overlooked that one of our better pitchers just didn't have any good stuff that day. Every other part of my reasoning suddenly just went out the window. I had found the problem, not on my own, but there it was, as plain and obvious as day. I yanked the kid out of there and the whole game changed. That, my friends, is the power of the Mastermind Concept. A group of minds working together in a spirit of harmony towards a common goal that will always be infinitely more powerful than any single mind. I knew Gary was right the instant he said what he said, I just hadn't seen it until he, another coach with the same motivations and purpose, but different vision, showed me. As the gold bull gains momentum, the momentum of the mass mind looking into why will also gain momentum. Look for the signs like this, like someone presenting you with a valuable piece of information that you had seen and seen and seen, even remembered, but just never understood until then. This is a good thing, a very good thing. And for all of you... No observation is unimportant. Do not be embarrassed. If you see something that you think is important about gold, silver and Kimber, BRING IT HERE and Share it with all. Let the forum judge what its meaning is. Oftentimes a simple observation by one member will be an epiphany to another. Bull
