MSN. Making Something out of Nothing.
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Here is a video sent to me by a friend. The video is of a gentlemen who allegedly creates microscopic sculptures. Take a look, click on this link and return to finish reading this blog. Micro Sculptor.
Some would dispute whether or not this is true or a hoax, but for the record, nanotechnology, which enables microscopic creations, does exist. But what is the significance of this that I would like to point out?
Here is a man who is making something that is valuable, in this case worth millions of dollars, and it is literally smaller than a grain of sand. His work is built upon an entirely different way of viewing value and it gives clues to direction of the future. In the past bigger was better. Bigger held all the value. In the very near future we will better exploit the infinitity that exist between atoms and molecules to create value. Soon we will have to reconsider our notions of scarcity and lack. As the tools of creation take us further in the direction of the microscopic, we will create new industries in health, finance, art, culture, information, and more.
So while the world is panicking over the global economic crisis, others are seeing infinite value right where there was nothing. This is what it will take in part to tap into the fortunes of the future. The ability to see and make something, where others see nothing. I encourage you to take time to begin to look for opportunities and you will start to see them. They are all around you. See what the positive possibilities are that surround you right now.
Stay away from information sources, media, and people that orient your mind in the direction of the pessimistic or trivial. It is only likely to blind you to what is available and possible for you. I could go on and on expanding on this subject, plumbing it’s depth to create more and more meaning, but hopefully by now you see what I have done. 
As you have read this blog I have created something valuable, which is this narrative on value and possibility creation, where there was nothing prior to my writing. I have made something out of nothing. Sorry Bill Gates, I created MSN, and now the world knows it. Huh, maybe that is one of the reasons why I am known as Billion.
