Ideas Are Like People...

Ideas are like people, they don’t like to be isolated or treated jealously. They like to mingle, interact with other ideas.

The Quality of Life

The quality of a man's life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavour.

Be More Relaxed in Your Thoughts

After all is said and done, how do you know for sure that you are not on another wild goose chase, that what you now think is the right thinking process is nothing but the next available option or a need to venture into another compulsive thought flight?

How do you know that you were right when you labelled a premise "the wrong premise"? How are you sure it is not a case of misdirection and you are looking at the wrong cause?

The answer to these is that you need to be more relaxed in hitching a thought ride. Premise leads to greatness and success if well chosen. It also leads to disaster and destruction, if chosen wrongly. How you know you have the right premise is by what you see ahead and, more importantly, how you feel down inside about what you see.

Slow Down and Think Backwards

If you find that you have hitched a wrong plane in your thought cruise or have nurtured thoughts that, although they seemed cool and sharp at the time, did not lead you to the right destination, then you need to slow down and think backwards to identify where you have missed it or what wrong premise you had latched onto.

When You Have Many Things To Do

When you have a dozen different things to do, pick the most important one and stick with it until it’s complete. Then pick the second most important and do the same thing, until you’ve completed the list.

When A Rookie Attains Fortune

To a rookie in fortune, remonstrations by concerned friends to curtail his/her excesses can be interpreted as envy or jealousy until the reality sets in, usually after the chickens have come home to roost.

Life is Tougher Without Thinking

 Generally, life can be tough. But it is tougher on those who do not apply much thinking to their ways and doings, and toughest on people who live or work with them because they are usually the first at the receiving end of the consequences of thoughtlessness.
