It’s hard to be silently brilliant. Lots of thoughts occur when you open your mouth. This has been one of the principles I live by. Now, that finally the harmful effects of the milk protein wore off… and I am returning to being normal. So my Sunday Rants call was more productive than maybe ever. […]
If you want to enslave a man, the best and fastest way to go about it is to rob the man of his common sense, his guidance system.
If you want to enslave a man, the best and fastest way to go about it is to rob the man of his common sense, his guidance system.
Train him to not trust his feelings. In anything. Train him that he can’t trust his feelings. Train him that all decisions should be made by men smarter than him. Train him that he can’t be trusted to made decisions about the education, the health about his children.
Train him by printing on plastic bags that they should not be put in the cradle… because a child may suffocate playing with it… Do this so the man will stop thinking for himself and start relying entirely on thing being given to him chewed and digested.
Give him the religion of positive thinking.
I never had to really learn it… so how I teach you to live in reality? The 13th floor
This article will be deemed self-aggrandizing, or something of that sort… and I don’t care. Truth is truth…
I am 69 years old.
I have lived, this is a 20/20 hindsight, my entire life on the 13th floor. Two months ago I would not have said that: I didn’t know there is such a thing…
Having live there all my life: I am having a real tough time to say how I got there… because I never lived on the 14th or the 15th floor… the 13th floor is reality, based on your sensory organs, not on thought.
My brothers did live on the 14th floor. Both. My father also lived on the 13th floor. My mother didn’t.
The biggest difference, looking through my own eyes now, is the meanings. On the 14th
Take back your power, take back your freedom, take back your peace of mind
Starting tomorrow… at 4 pm.
Why it is nearly impossible to change… unless…
Landmark Education has a process for leaders called clearing.
Clearing is probably the most effective tool to, at least temporarily, allow for change.
Clearing is saying, listing, everything that is in the way of change… with the intention to question its trueness, question its validity.
People watch you, listen to you, and depending on their own attitude, they hear dumping, they hear gossiping, they hear complaining.
But the intention, the
Find yourself, find your lost paradise on the 13th floor of your existence
I read the beginning of an article this morning. It made me laugh. It was a great release. Then I read the rest, and it made me constipated.
I was going to steal the whole article, but I am stealing only the beginning. here you go:
One Thing You Can Do Every Morning to Be More Creative
- STEP 1: Fill up your cereal bowl about two-thirds of the way full (eyeballing it is okay)
- STEP 2: Pour your favorite milk (I choose almond milk—unsweetened vanilla) and fill until the cereal is peeking over the top of the bowl.
- STEP 3: Walk slowly toward your kitchen sink, one foot directly in front of the other. Go slow
How to Develop Emotional Intelligence… what do psychologists say?
This article shows the state of official science for emotional intelligence.
Psychologists are not interested in the groundbreaking work developed in the books Feelings and Words…
Although when you can already recognize your feelings, their inner dynamics, what they want you to do, what trap you my have stepped, unwittingly, the advice below is quite good.
Until then I don’t think it’s useful… Or may not be useful.
Even though emotional intelligence is really important to live a good life, to have good relationships, to get things done, to be well… for all of life.
OK, here is the article from Wikihow
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to tap into your emotions and use them to make your life better. Being in touch with your feelings allows you to manage stress levels and communicate effectively with other people, two skills that enhance your life both personally and professionally. Unlike IQ, which remains constant throughout your life,
Beingness… the inner guidance that gives your behavior, actions, and ultimately your results
Not surprisingly, I hope, the difference between homo sapiens (thinking man) and Human Being is this elusive “thing”: beingness.
Beingness does not respond to words.
- Beingness does not respond to words.
- It doesn’t respond to force, not even to force of will.
- It doesn’t really respond to feelings either.
- And: IMPORTANT! is not created by doing
It is a whole different ball of
The original sin… how you can stop paying, how can you stop suffering?
As I promised, the next step in creating your life that discouragement is only a rare guest in, instead of a tenant…
I am going to start with a somewhat gossipy story: my conversation with my mentor, Gyõzõ Margóczi, the brilliant engineer who wrote the books “Feelings” and “Words”.
I suggested that he thinks about developing a feedback device, that gives you valuable feedback on your feelings… because being in touch and understanding the dynamics of feelings is the hardest thing for a regular human.
And everyone is a regular human… 🙁
His answer, pay attention, was that there must surely be a rich man, like Bill Gates, who would want to stand behin
Pushing on a string.. Sometimes you are the pusher, other times you are the string
Around the time when I graduated from Architecture School, my brother impregnated a woman 10 years his senior, who wanted to get married.
I recommended that he pay for her abortion and call it quits.
To my surprise he listened to me. (This is the phenomenon, when it is NOT pushing on a string… rare) I didn’t know why and how I knew that the woman just wanted to marry a Jewish boy… that it wasn’t for love, or for mutual support. I didn’t know I was an empath.
Knowing what is people hidden nature is a blessing, and is a burden. And an invaluable tool in coaching. You can’t lie to me…
Most people want to go down danger’s, death’s path… it is their path. Talking to them it is like pushing on a
The newest measure to predict your future success… this one is like a ladder
Every human is moved by their emotions and feelings plus thoughts: words, ideas, concepts. In this order.
The motive power, the stimulus to act comes from the feelings.
The words, ideas, concepts only modify them, or direct the actions.
Without the thoughts, the words, the ideas, every human would act the same way. They would have to.
So the main difference between people is really the words, the ideas, what they say about what they feel.
One extreme is the “Twitchy Little Bastard”, while the other extreme is Jeff Bezos.
I trust, even though trust is my soul correction. In many areas I am still short on trust, but yet: I do trust.
I never have a topic I plan to wri
