Food for thoughtEvery post has a bit of truth,that does not mean they have the right answer.
Someday when somebody analizes the "whats" and "whys" of SIO success or failure we`ll discover something we already knew.
We hate to agree but love to disagree on things that are no-brainers.
When it`s all said and done luck will determine the final result.
We have changed and keep changing trying to adapt to demands made by a few and expanded by others with the fear of not meeting the expectations of people with other agendas.
We are led by a Prophet with Armani suits and followed by humble Disciples,only his thoughts and decisions count and thus the hard road to success.
The world agreed we had the best Format,the closest thing to BlueRay with all the bells and whistles to make watching 3D TV at home a delight.
But we could not sell,why??,and that will be the forever question.
There were so many pluses, 3D Live with Big Shows and Sports,we even created content but even then they could not sell something already proved with a couple of trophys under their belt.
We had very good people lately on the BOD with good resumes,experience and connections,what happened,they did not last long before they were released without a chance, an entity with no proper guidance when it should have been the opposite.
What does this Prophet have to get away with so much.
So now afraid of being left behind we will settle for mediocrity when we had the Deluxe Market at our hands,all we needed was good hands to make it a reality.

Never settle for mediocrity in others or yourself. Greatness is a choice although sometimes it can also choose you. Far too many
businesses limp along or merely survive rather than thrive. Far too many people are dissatisfied with the outcomes in their life. To achieve anything of significance requires passion, diligence, hard work, commitment and raising your expectations of what’s possible. As I watched
Bruce Springsteen perform last night in front of a packed house for nearly 3 hours at age 62, I couldn’t help but think that besides his obvious talent, what still makes him great is that he cares so much, loves what he is doing and gives it everything he’s got.
I once heard a quote from Will Smith, the actor, that “…other people may have more talent than me but no one will care as much or out work me.” He is someone else who has accomplished many impressive things at a fairly young age and continues to thrive. Bottom line is that there are no shortcuts to success. It takes consistent determined effort and self-belief. I’m not sure that Bruce or Will ever envisioned the heights they have achieved at this point, but I do believe they never ever settled for being mediocre. While other people tried similar paths and stumbled or failed, they just kept working at it and giving their best effort. Failure wasn’t an option.
I’ve heard it said that true character is what you do when no one’s watching. Although I don’t know the original source, I’ve always appreciated the quote, “how we do anything is how we do everything.” People are capable of accomplishing truly special things and expanding the boundaries of what’s possible. Our biggest limitations are our own thinking and level of effort. Just look at the history of the human race and how far we have come in a relatively short time. America isn’t even 250 years old yet and it’s amazing what this country has accomplished. Examples of individual and collective greatness exist all around us.
Never settle for mediocrity. If you are spread too thin and trying to do too much then scale back and refocus. When you commit to doing something, fully commit and give it your best effort. Don’t embrace excuses or rationalize non-performance. Bruce Springsteen certainly doesn’t have to work as hard as he does these days, but he knows no other way. Will Smith continues to top the box office charts and build a business empire. The only difference between them and most of us is that they keep pushing forward and doing the rights things in the right way. They never settle
