PROBLEMS. Solve the problems when they occur. Worrying is not productive.

by

Here is my formula for dealing with problems and projects.

Divide up what you want to do, learn, solve, or be. The steps are,

A-Inception. What is the idea that you want to express, change, work on, solve, or do?

B-Incubation and imagination. Think about it, dream about it, state the problem, and draw plans in your mind or on paper. Take your time and write down everything first. Dump it all out of your head and you can refine it later.

C-Practical application. Work with it. Practice, make a model, and pull the ingredients together. Dissect any aspect that appears too complicated. Approach the same question from different perspectives and aspects.

D-Culmination. Keep going until you finish or find a solution. If it’s too arduous or complicated a project start again after putting it away awhile. Do it.

There are only people and things and things don’t hug back.

by

This generation, children, teenagers and people under forty, have a tremendous ignorance gap because of the false science and values they have learned on television and from advertising since they were infants.

Problems cannot and will not be solved by all–natural, pH-balanced, over the counter, 1-800, cure-all-dot-com. Even though you can use the net to meet, communicate, write and set up contacts with people, intimacy comes from contact not distance. Don’t let the soul-destroying power of technological advances bring you to a place were there is no room for music, nature, or real friends. Get off the Internet, hear the person speak, observe the body language, see the demeanor, and meet people personally.

Motivation and enthusiasm.

by

Motivation and enthusiasm fed each other.

The root of the word enthusiasm comes from the Greece enthu to have God within.

In my dating days I went out with many women of different backgrounds and ages. The older women, even though they more frequently knew what they wanted, were hesitant to go after a man. They had been raised to believe that the man should be the aggressor and so they hardly ever telephoned. Instead they waited for the man to call them, the proper way.

The younger women by comparison, were raised as a television generation. On television programs, unless there is an action drama or movie, we just see talking heads. The younger women took the initiative. They called and even though they were less solvent economically, they invited you out for dinner. Guess who had more success and who went out just for the sake of going out? Guess who met more people and networked more often?

If you are sensitive and polite, you can be as aggressive as you wish.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

by

Most people believe that there are an infinite number of possibilities that will be available to them. What they fail to realize is that even though the probabilities are vast, only a very few of those prospects can change their lives significantly.

After you have made an initial contact you have to maintain and keep the connection.

Life is action.

by

 

Thinking and having a wonderful plan, having a great idea, knowing just what to do and what action to take, writing down the list, setting it all up is planning and possibly essential but it is not execution. Doing is what it is all about.

People who can concentrate, analyze, fix, implement and just plain do are consequential.

Many people truly believe that they are “idea” people. They have many ideas in both business and personal relations. These people are not even good thinkers or activists and are a multitude.

“Ideas without the courage or drive to implement are like black holes.”  Satoru
