Ways to Positively Impact Other People – Knowledge and Philosophy
You can live a life that will outlive you. You can live in such a way that you will positively influence others, today and in years to come.
Here are a few channels through which you can make this happen. One is knowledge and philosophy.
Knowledge and Philosophy
As we evolve, so too does our knowledge base. Your life is a unique fusion of experiences, life lessons, and study.
The key is to take what you’ve learned and organize it into a variety of forms that can outlive you. The basic requirement is that you specialize in a field or some form of knowledge, ideally one in which you can become a leading expert.
There are enough fields for all of us to become leaders.
Napoleon Hill once said, “Unorganized knowledge has no value.”
When endeavoring to make a difference in your specialty, aim to become the very best. Explore this specialty with the goal of knowing everything that is possible. Then organize that knowledge for others.
Just having knowledge is not sufficient. You must move that knowledge from your mind into the minds of others and organize it ways that are useful to them.
In today’s world of technology, we have many new choices on how we can transmit knowledge, or we may choose some of the more traditional ways.
Any method will work to one degree or another.
In fact, your knowledge legacy may be transmitted in the future through means that may not yet be invented!
Just a few years ago the transmittal of information in digital formats was not understood. Today it is commonplace.
Here, the secret is for you to transmit the information by teaching it verbally or in writing. Then capture this information in a viable media format that can be passed along to future generations.
To do this, your life must take the form of teacher, lecturer, professor, scientist, presenter, speaker, writer, or author.
There are many professions that fit into this category.
As you set out to share your specialized knowledge, you also must be able to present it in a way that catches the eyes of others.
How many great thinkers have gone unnoticed because they did not market themselves?
Find a medium that will expose your expertise to others. Find experts in that medium who not only can help you present it but also can create demand for your knowledge.
When delivered effectively, your concepts and ideas will shape the thinking of people for years to come. You will be recognized as a sought-after authority in your field of expertise.
Think of the great impact that we can have by making one advance in science or technology.
Edison lives on in the light bulb and the phonograph.
Einstein lives on in his contributions to the General Theory of Relativity.
Socrates and Aristotle were immortalized for their contributions to philosophy.
Benjamin Franklin contributed to our knowledge of electricity.
Henry Ford made his immortal mark in developing an efficient method of mass production.
Deming gave us the insight to understand and implement effective quality control.
The fields of knowledge that can outlive us are infinite.

Excerpt: Gaetano Alberto “Guy” Lombardo (June 19, 1902 November 5, 1977) was a Canadian, then American bandleader and violinist. Forming “The Royal Canadians” in 1924 with his brothers Carmen, Lebert, and Victor and other musicians from his hometown, Lombardo led the group to international success, billing themselves as creating “The Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven.” The Lombardos are believed to have sold between 100 and 300 million phonograph records during their lifetimes. Lombardo was born in London, Ontario. His father, Gaetano, was an amateur singer and had four of his five sons learn to play instruments so they could accompany him. Lombardo and his brothers formed their first orchestra while still in grammar school and rehearsed in the back of their father’s tailor shop. Lombardo first performed in public with his brother Carmen at a church lawn party in London in 1914. His first recording session took place where trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke made his legendary recordings in Richmond, Indiana, at the Gennett Studios both during early 1924. Lombardo’s orchestra played at the “Roosevelt Grill” in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City from 1929 to 1959, and their New Year’s Eve broadcasts (which continued with Lombardo until 19… More: |

Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 6 $32.98 During his short life Thomas Wright Waller made it onto an enormous number of phonograph records as soloist, leader, sideman and accompanist. Each decade in the second half of the 20th century brought forth Fats Waller albums that ranged from budget “best-of” collections to intensive chronological surveys. It wasn’t until 2006 that producer Ted Kendall and the JSP label began fulfilling the lifelong ambition of jazz archivist and remastering wizard John R.T. Davies by setting out to reissue literally every recording that Waller is known or believed to have made, in one extended anthology of unprecedented proportions. Packaged in reasonably priced four-CD sets, every episode in Waller’s 21-year recording career has been revisited with precision. For sound quality and meticulous exactitude, no one has ever handled the recorded evidence more lovingly or thoroughly. Volume 6, swollen to five CDs for a total of 25 discs thus far in the series (more than a full day of uninterrupted listening for those who are so inclined) contains all of his studio recordings dating from the spring of 1940 through to the V-Disc session of September 16, 1943, almost exactly three months to the day before his sudden death at the age of 39. The complete range of Waller’s musical personality is represented here, from intimate ballads to some of his all-time rowdiest blow-outs.As yet another fine manifestation of JSP’s willingness to include material not found on standard RCA Victor Fats Waller editions, the extra material on this set is positively exhilarating. Waller is heard with a jazz band led by Commodore kingpin Eddie Condon in 1940; these instrumental jams are triumphant exercises in traditionally oriented, small band swing. Rare third takes of some of the Commodore titles are greatly appreciated, and the interaction between Waller and clarinetist Pee Wee Russell is magnificent. One of the few studio recordings in the Waller discography dating from 1942, a snappy performance of Ir… |

His Master’s Voice $61.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! His Master’s Voice is a famous trademark in the music business, and for many years was the name of a large record label. The name was coined in 1899 as the title of a painting of the dog Nipper listening to a wind-up gramophone. In the photograph on which the painting was based, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph. The famous trademark image comes from a painting by English artist Francis Barraud, A.R.A. and titled His Master’s Voice. The original title of the painting was “His Late Master’s Voice” (and this phrase appears on many of the original RCA Victor labels), but the concept was considered too depressing for most of the public’s tastes, and certainly for an image used as a means to put the consumer in the mood to buy. It was acquired from the artist in 1899 by the newly-formed Gramophone Company. According to contemporary Gramophone Company publicity material, the dog, a fox terrier called Nipper, had originally belonged to Barraud’s brother Mark. |

Victor Orthophonic Victrola $53.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Victor Orthophonic Victrola first demonstrated publicly in 1925, was the first consumer phonograph designed specifically to play “electrically” recorded disks. The combination was recognized instantly as a major step forward in sound reproduction. Electrical recording was developed by Western Electric, although a primitive electrical process was developed by Orlando R. Marsh, owner and founder of Autograph Records. Western Electric demonstrated their process to record manufacturers, who were initially unwilling to adopt it because they realized it would make their entire existing catalog obsolete. Under pressure from the new medium of radio, however, Victor and Columbia gave in and began making experimental electrical recordings in 1924. |
