Yesterday I was interviewed by a reporter for a major newspaper here where I’m visiting family.
Nerissa was there and decided to offer an exclusive news bit to the writer.
I held my breath, not knowing what she was going to reveal.
“Nobody knows this about Joe,” Nerissa began, “but he types all of his books, emails, blog posts and everything else with just two fingers.”
The reporter laughed. I have no idea yet if it will get in her story or not but it’s true.
I type everything, including this post, with my two index fingers.
This should be proof that you don’t need to know everything or be perfect at everything in order to accomplish a lot.
I’m pretty fast with two fingers.
And apparently if I were any faster, no one could keep up with my output.
Ao Akua,

PS – What could you accomplish if you just used your current abilities?

This is great info Joe! How many people have a book inside themselves, but say to themselves ” I could never write a book because I can’t type fast.”
Just goes to show what can happen if you don’t let a limiting belief control your destiny.

That was a tremendous question to end this with. I’m always so focused on improving my abilities, which is perfectly fine, but I don’t focus so much on the value of my CURRENT abilities so much. As I said, a very good question to redirect focus. Thanks Joe.
Join the club Joe.
My kids all take the mick, but they have a job to keep up with their fingers flailing all over the place.
They seem to spend more time going back doing corrections. Then the programme slows as too many conflicting requests are made at the same time.

oh my God. This is hilarious!!!!!! I am trying to imagine how that works. I will try. i am trying to imgine how that works. i am now typing with two fingers. wow. cool. haha. it’s a whole other experience. the mind can only focus on one word at a time. I have to think of the sentence first, then go back and type it. I am still typing with 2 index fingers. the mind works in a whole other way. there is no best way. (though I have to say this way is hard! especially with the SHIFT key!!!!!!!) how funny. we learn all sorts of interesting things on this blog. love, lisa
Haha, that’s awesome Joe! Like mentioned earlier, that just goes to show you that ya can’t use excuses for anything in life.
Like Nike says..”Just Do It!”
