The Power to Choose

In memory of Stephen Covey who passed away last week (July 2012)

"Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom ... the power to choose, to respond, to change." 

Stephen Covey

Take care of your thoughts ...

How could that be done better?

Do you want to invent new concepts, create new inventions, or think of unique ideas? 
No problem. Simply start asking yourself one question about everything you see: 
How could that be done better? 
Ask that and the ideas will come. Sure, they may not all be actionable, but a few will be excellent ones.

One's perception of the world

One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one's perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them.

Go Into Your Wilderness

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occurwhen we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort,that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers" 

M. Scott Peck
