Some of those "cliches" about the future are not only true, but deserve to be taken a little most seriously than most people are willing to recognize. "The future starts now," is one of those phrases that also is sometimes stated in several other ways that may seem flippant or profound depending on your point of view. "Your future started a second ago. How does it feel to be living in the future?" or, in more profound sounding, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." This later seems to get the emphasis right because, indeed, we are always on the leading edge of the past and the threshhold of the future.
The most important one, perhaps, is, "If you want to know what the future will look like, you better be one of those working now on creating the future!"
If you want to be building the future, controlling where you (and the rest of us) are going, there is not better way than to work with Stafford "Doc" Williamson.
Doc Williamson was born and educated in Canada, though he has also traveled to most of the 50 United States, now living in Arizona, and has also ventured forth on three more continents with trips to South America, Asia and Europe, much of that representing the leading edge software company Quarterdeck.
However, that is barely the tip of the iceberg on Doc's background because he has had over 50 paying jobs in his career, from licensed securities dealer to licensed Realtor and real estate development executive and from cowboy to ballet dancer, rock concert lighting designer/contractor to mixed media fine artist.
Doc is the author of 5 books, and publisher of an additional book by Irving Schaffer, whose life (and diary) so closely paralleled Joseph Heller, that it could have been another "Catch 22", but told without the artistic genius of Heller, it shows the "real story" of flying those bombers and the resulting PTSD that was known as "shell shock" in those days.
"If you want to understand the future, you have to be able to recognize the patterns from the past." Doc has learned that lesson well.
Getting Started With Stafford Williamson
Stafford "Doc" Williamson has been a columnist for the American Chronicle syndicate of websites (including Santa Barbara Chronicle, California Chronicle, World Sentinel, and others) for almost 5 years now. He has also started his own syndicate of blogs anchored at http://lifestyle.psyrk.us with occasional appearances in LinkedIn, HuffPost and POLITICO discussions.
The diversity of Doc's interests begin to show when you read some of his books, that range from the middle school remedial readers, Puppyfish and Puppy Goes to Lambergarten, to the light Broadway style romantic comedy (perhaps we should admit, Neil Simon-style) of Minyan by Proxy and not to neglect the serious side, The Day I Changed the Shape of the Universe a detailed theory about how sub-atomic space is "organized" and therefore it's "shape", that has pattern implications for the shape of the universe and distributions of galaxies.
