Dear Geek Squad, I recently purchased an HP Printer, and when I am in the
room watching it, it works perfectly. However, nearly every time I leave it
unattended, the papers come out wrinkled, sometimes even shredded, with
blurred ink. If I re-start the print job and babysit it, there are no problems. You
can imagine that this has been very frustrating, and I would appreciate one of
your technicians coming out to fix whatever the problem is. Thank you.

Do you have a strategy for finishing strong. Your reply
may be discussed on the Radio Show this Monday night 09.08.08
Earlier this year, I attended Nascar’s Daytona 500 race. I don’t claim to be a
racefan but I was given the opportunity to go, and also take my daughter, so I
took advantage of the offer. I had heard a lot of things about the Daytona 500
– “It’s crowded, full of rednecks, lots of drunks, a huge party, loud, fun,
exciting, awesome, and amazing.” (Fortunately or unfortunately, I’ve heard
many of the same things about myself in the past.) Well, everything I heard
about the race was accurate (to one degree or the other), and so much more.
Overall, It was fantastic!
I have always wondered why anyone would go through so much effort to
watch a bunch of cars go around and around, over and over. I’m glad I was
open-minded enough to go see for myself. Not only was it a fantastic
experience, I left with some unique insight as to how this particular racing
sport has so many parallels to the race through life. Before I dive into those
parallels I must say, if you’ve never stood close to a Nascar as it flies by at
200 mph, you should try it. Wow! After you’re pulling the rubber out of your
hair and teeth ( I don’t have hair but I felt it hit my head!) you’re in awe of
the speed, the feeling, and the ground trembling. I immediately had a new
appreciation for the folks driving the cars.
The Goal – Each driver had the same ultimate goal in mind – come in first.
You and I should also have this goal - finish first in life. We need not to finish
first in comparison to others, simply to finish first in comparison to where we
are capable of finishing. If we’re capable of giving more on the job, in our
relationships, with our attitudes, or in other areas of life, then this should be
our “finish lines” of life for the particular moment. Are you living up to your
capabilities or down to your incapabilities?
The Strategy – since I’m not an educated racefan I will simply try to point out
what I observed and also what I learned from those I went with. I will be
discussing these strategies on the radio this Monday night at 6pm. The
broadcast will be on our website by 7:15pm.
Your expertise, knowledge, or observation could be helpful in this discussion.
We will share your replies on the air. Please identify your name, city, and
state. Question; What strategies are used in Nascar racing that can also be
used in the race of life?
Please reply by 10am Monday morning.
Here's one strategy I've noticed. The winner is never just one person. It's a
group of people concentrating on specific areas where each individual is able
to contribute to the team.
Are you trying to do it all in the race of life? Learn to focus on your strengths
and allow others to help where you're weak.
Knock'em alive!
James
