THE SHORT ANSWER:  Take a bunch of stuff, put it in my head, and there you have it! THE DETAILED ANSWER:  Be a realist! I call this blog CurryStew because I'm well aware that most of the things that come out of my mouth aren't truly original thought. Sure, I've had ideas I hadn't heard anywhere else before, but the idea usually came from some conglomeration of the things I had learned before modified to fit what I was trying to accomplish. My lifestyle and leadership style is a stew.  It's a melting pot of the different things I've heard and learned over the years.  So rather than acting like I have some overly unique way of viewing life or that everything I do is because I'm just that brilliant; I take the things I've learned and modify them to work well with the things I'm trying to accomplish. And that my friends is how you make CurryStew.
