The name of the blog has changed from Triumphant Tim to Purple Pages. The reasoning for this is an exercise we did in our Six Sigma Methodology class (it was the last day and no more Six Sigma was to be covered). Our teacher, Dr. Harriet Nembhard, shared with us how she jots down her ideas on life. She will write something down on a purple page and make a book of purple pages. She chose purple because the quote:
"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."
-Alicia Walker, The Color Purple
Seth Godin noted that if you see a cow, you do not stop to notice it. It is boring. Everybody has seen a million cows. But if you saw a purple cow, you would stop and marvel. This is because it is remarkable. That is, worthy of a remark.
I want this page to be about being remarkable. And so, I went from my selfish "Triumphant Tim" title to the remarkable "Purple Pages."
