Frederick Ford's Blog

I have just joined the Mars Society, so I thought I would write about it this week. And, in case you are wondering, you can join also. The purpose of the Mars society is to further the exploration of the Red Planet. Why? The members of the Mars Society, which include former NASA Astronauts, scientists, […]

“Invent your own job; take such an interest in it that you eat, sleep, dream, walk, talk, and live nothing but your work until you succeed.” That was Walt Disney’s motto – and exactly how he lived. “Disney World will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left […]

The post WALT DISNEY appeared first on Blog site for Frederick Ford.

Each week, I have to decide what particular subject to write on. While conducting some research, I happened to notice another blog, which like mine, promotes positive news rather than the daily dose of sensationalistic, downbeat news from all over the world. Amy Peikoff’s blog is called the news sandwich; it promises a layer of […]

The post BIOPRINTING appeared first on Blog site for Frederick Ford.

The anniversary of JFK’s assassination is this month. He has frequently been rated as the most popular US President. He is particularly known for his challenge to send a man to the moon.

The post GOOGLE LUNAR X PRIZE appeared first on Blog site for Frederick Ford.

I will return to post on the X Prizes in the near future. Walt Disney once remarked that animation can explain whatever the mind can conceive; he was talking about cartoons. But a reformulation of his statement replacing animation with technology is spot on. In fact, advances in technology have taken that concept to a […]

Technology has changed the game for authors, publisher and readers. We can read traditional paper books or read them on ebooks or we can listen to them on audio books. Publishers can print books on demand from various locations. Computers allow anyone to write a book in Word following a particular format and make it […]

The post Authors as Entrepreneur appeared first on Blog site for Frederick Ford.

In my last blog post How to teach children to be entrepreneurs , I realized that I would have to add a part two with some concrete examples. I would suggest that even at a very young age, children can be nurtured towards entrepreneurship. Even if you are not an entrepreneur, you can take some […]

The post Activities for young entrepreneurs appeared first on Blog site for Frederick Ford.

A person who conceives, organizes, operates and assumes the risk for a business venture is an entrepreneur. I have always been curious as to why some people become entrepreneurs and others don’t. From my observations and research, I have learned that entrepreneurship is nurtured – usually from parents and friends of the family. Why do […]

What is the invention that has made it possible for both entrepreneurs and consumers to benefit without the usual interference by local, regional and national governments? People can use it from the comfort of their homes or from local coffee shops. Yes, that invention is the super highway or the world-wide web. The evolution of […]
