Effective Thinking

"All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts."

– James Allen³

"Minds are like parachutes – they only function when they open."

– Lord Tomas Dewas

All Causation Is Mental.

Everything that you are or ever will be will be as a result of how you use your mind. You are merely a mind with a body to carry it around with. The entire man made world that you see is simply an expression of thought.

Your entire life is an expression of your own thinking. And since the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life, if you improve the quality of your thinking, you must, you will, inevitably improve the quality of your life... More

Everything Start With a Thought

"You demonstrate who you are, and people judge and respond to you, based on your words, your actions and your habits. And it all starts where? With a thought! Everything starts with a thought. That's why thoughts are so powerful. That's why choosing how you think and act will determine how life responds to you and what you receive in life." (Michael Oliver⁴)

The Danger of Categorization

"It's a pity nature isn't divided into the same categories as universities."

We need categories to be able to handle the huge amount of information we use and control.

That's why we have a hierarchy of folders and files in our computer, and that's why universities are categorized into faculties and departments. Categorization helps you, but can also prevent you from using what you know about one field in another.

There is a well known problem in education called the transference problem. If you teach something in one context, students most likely will not be able to use that knowledge in another⁶ and build synergies... More

Get Smart!

By: Brian Tracy

Creativity is your key to the future. All progress comes about as the result of finding better, faster, cheaper, easier or different ways to do things and this requires the continual honing of your creative thinking skills.

Your Key Job At Work

One of the key functions of the executive is problem solving, which takes up as much as 50 percent of executive time. It can be said with some confidence that your ability to deal with problems creatively and effectively is the key determinant of your success as a manager. It would be hard to imagine an effective executive who could not solve problems and make decisions with a high level of competence.

You Are A Genius

I've studied and lectured on creative thinking for years and I've come to the conclusion that there is virtually no problem you cannot solve, no goal you cannot achieve, no obstacle you cannot overcome if you know how to apply the creative powers of your mind, like a laser beam, to cut through every difficulty in your life and your work.

Get Paid More, Faster

The benefits of functioning more creativity can be enormous. Each of us wants to earn more money, be promoted faster, and enjoy greater status, prestige and recognition. In most cases however, we can only earn more by producing more or of better quality or cheaper or faster — and this requires doing things differently, using creativity.

Step On Your Own Acceleration

The good news is that creativity is a skill and a talent that can be learned and developed through practice. With this skill, you can dramatically accelerate your personal and professional growth. By sharpening your thinking skills and exercising your natural creative powers, you can multiply the value of your efforts and rapidly increase the quantity and quality of your rewards.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do immediately to be more creative:

1. See yourself as a professional problem-solver and look upon every difficulty or challenge as an opportunity to develop your creative powers.

2. Look for problems you can solve and obstacles you can overcome. The more you seek for answers and ideas, the smarter and more creative you become.

The Power of Relaxation

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer; since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose your power of judgment. Go some distance away because the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen."   – Leonardo Da Vinci

The Golden Hour

You become what you think about most of the time. And the most important part of each day is what you think about at the beginning of that day... More
