Six degrees of separation: get me to Larry Ellison<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is going to sound totally crazy. I am trying to get to Larry Ellison. No. I am not going to ask him for a cent.<\/p>\n

Yeah. We have all ready about his exploits in and outside Oracle. Some not too flattering. Some consider him narcissistic. But I guess you don’t achieve what he has done by being a pansy (excuse the word). You are going to step on a lot of toes along the way -and it takes a certain “I am the best there is and I know it” attitude to do that. Not that I agree with that approach, but I can make a comment when I make my first billion. Lol.<\/p>\n

I am not interested in all that for the moment. I am not interested in his money either (not right now).<\/p>\n

What I am interested in is simple.<\/strong> I want him to send a personal birthday email (early July) to someone in his organization (Oracle).\u00a0Of course mentioning me in passing as the \u201crequester.\u201d<\/p>\n

If I am to believe the six degrees of separation theory (and Will Smith\u2019s film), I should be able to get to him (Larry Ellison).<\/p>\n

So how am I going to make this happen?<\/p>\n

I assume there is an army of qualified assistants trolling the web for references (good or bad) to him and I am hoping one of them would pick this up. If “you” (whoever you may be are the one – note that you are my hero). Larry can chalk it up as his good did for the day!<\/p>\n

Well, we shall see if the Oracle Juggernaut will pick this up and I suddenly get a communication (which I will verify of course) asking for more details.<\/p>\n

Here is to the rich folks out there including Larry. It\u2019s great to have unlimited wealth. I understand that only the few possess the \u201crequirements\u201d to achieve this and to the rest of us they aren’t usually \u201cnice.\u201d But hey, it comes with the territory.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see if \u201cwe\u201d can convince him (Larry Ellison) to do something completely out of the ordinary for him \u2013 he may just be setting something monumental in motion.<\/p>\n

To Larry! To Oracle! To the six degrees of separation! Let’s do this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
