Smile

Messages to self: I am very hard on myself. Maybe you are too? I will post reminders to myself, and maybe you, here.

1. Smile: be happy with who you are and what you have, not with who you aren't and what you don't have.
2. Don't be so hard on yourself. See what others are saying about you and see if that confirms how hard you are on yourself.
3. Read messages and testimonials: "David: You are simply the best. Thank you for being an inspiration"; "David: Thanks David for your superb approach to anything 'client-name' and finance related. I thoroughly enjoy working with you. Thanks for being on call, an email or whatsapp message away!"

Clean Disruption - Why Energy & Transportation will be Obsolete by 2030 ...

Need for nurturing. David Lipschitz letter to the Cape Times published Friday 13th January 2017

I called the letter: How to get rid of the fires and bring the rain

Imagine growing up in an environment where you are told that everything is "common sense".

Imagine growing up in an environment where you are asked, "why don't you know that?"

Imagine you have a friend who says to you, "you should have known that!"

You feel insecure. You worry. You develop anxiety and maybe even become depressed.

There are so many depressed and anxious people in the world. Anxiety and burn-out are so prevalent that Arianna Huffington, the founder of the Huffington Post, has left the Huffington Post and started an online service called Thrive Global. Thriving is defined as prospering and flourishing.

When reading books about Einstein and other famous people, one finds a common thread. Einstein played with magnets and iron filings as a kid. When one moves a magnet through iron filings, the iron filing move around and create patterns. Einstein was fascinated by these patterns. Einstein's parents didn't tell him to go and play with his friends. They bought him more magnets and more iron filings! I have read so many more stories of people who are "doing well", who were given this special mentoring by their parents.

I am lucky to have this special mentoring in my relationship with my wife and with my peers and colleagues at work. We nurture each other and we become "better". Imagine how different the world could be if we would fix this part of our relationships in our families and with our friends and colleagues.

If we nurture each other and bring out the best in each other, even if someone's best isn't specifically interesting to us, or we think they could do better as an all-rounder, even though they are really good at a particular part of our (should be their) lives, then an opportunity opens to heal each other.

This healing energy will pervade our world. Our friends, our animals, other people, other animals and nature will feel this presence and these special energies, and the rain will come.

It might not happen overnight, but if we don't try, we won't know. So, today and every day, let's nurture (original text was: "let's fight the fires ...") and find the good things in each other, and let's bring the rain.

Tesla and the iPhone Moment

Battery prices are coming down fast.

Tesla and the iPhone Moment: "The major reason is battery costs. Five years ago a lithium-ion battery pack for an EV cost $1,000 per kWh meaning that a standard 60kWh battery pack then was costing $60,000. Today GM is buying those batteries for its Chevrolet Bolt or as it called in Europe the Opel Ampera which will come on the market later this year for under $150 a kWH or $9,000 per car. And with range improving (383km or 238 miles for the Bolt) and further cost reductions coming cost parity with the internal combustion engine the “ICE” is in sight."

Taking stock of David Lipschitz on 3rd December 2016

I am a passionate computer programmer specialising in back office systems like financial, accounting, stock control, ERP, incentive and loyalty systems, etc. I work mainly with Delphi and Oracle and SQL-Server and MySQL and historically C#, PHP, WebDev, etc. I've just done a Microsoft Access Database Update for someone and I'm getting into more sophisticated PHP and MySQL programming than I have done in the past.

I specialise in writing "bespoke" systems for people, ie I write software dedicated to the needs of my clients.


And I know a lot about PL/SQL and optimising SQL in databases. Recently I optimised a query that was taking 4 hours into taking 4 minutes, and this without any database or index changes, just changing the structure of the query.

I can work from anyone for anyone anywhere. I like to VPN into my clients systems.

Because I work from anywhere at any time, I have time for other passions in my life like becoming a Bodhisattva, being a Tai Chi Instruction and a Reiki Master. And hiking, swimming, skiing, and having fun.

I studied internal and external energy and today I am able to understand the words that people use to explain their "predicament" and show them the meaning of their words. Call me for a consultation, and in two hours (usually) find out what you want in life.

In 2016, I developed a methodology called The My Power Station Methodology and it deals with how to get rid of Anxiety.

First and foremost I am a competent, incredibly good and passionate programmer. I can program computers and I can help people understand their programs (mission on Earth).

Hope this helps. Happy to answer any questions.

Back Pain, or any pain?

My Power Station

I've been on a life changing journey this life, discovering what I do all the time, wherever I am, and in all the situations where I am called to speak, or to help, or to consult.

And actually I haven't changed! I am who I am and my story is one of deep research and development and making my life and the lives of those around me more comfortable, so that we can all enjoy our abundant planet together.

My name is David Lipschitz.

My intuition has always moved people out of their Comfort Zones, knowing that we all need to move to "where the magic happens".

But as soon as people leave their Comfort Zones, they feel unwell or unhappy or confused, and then my Ego moved them back into their Comfort Zones.

What emerged for me this year is the learning needed to Scaffold someone through that Little Gap, which I have termed "The Valley of the Shadow of Death", or the place where we Overcome our Fears. The Psalmist (Psalm 23) says "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil". We need God to help us, and we need our friends and special people called Guides to help us cross this valley.

I qualified as an Alchemist this year. A special person who knows how to Scaffold someone as they cross this valley to Emerge who they are. It is a purely scientific process, and I use the words and body language that people use and display to see the Signposts that help Guide someone to their untapped potential.

My life methodology, also known as my life purpose, and the reason I am here, is My Power Station.

It is called The My Power Station Methodology and its purpose is to Emerge (Reveal over and over again) a new Retirement Paradigm and a way of overcoming Anxiety.

The methods in my methodology are:
Anxiety, Insurance (External), Insurance (Internal), No Cost of Living, Social Capital, Trust, The Castle.

Each level of my methodology is separate from and interdependent with all the other levels. They work separately and together. They make me who I am. They tell my story.

There are two views of the model, one with Chakras and one without Chakras. Here they are:

People consult with me on software development, relational databases, database optimisation, renewable energy, energy efficiency, life problems, and I help Guide them to see where they are and where they are going.

I have done talks on all these parts of who I am, helping people to see who they are, by reflecting who I am. I am an accomplished Conference Speaker and have been speaking at Conferences since 2008.

If you would like a presentation, I can offer the following: six and 15 minute "TED" talks; 40 minutes; you choose the time.

My story inspires people to continue on their own journeys. I also do two or three hour consulting sessions with my clients helping them on their paths and helping them see the miracles in their lives.

Let's talk.
