I have read all the One minute books… I saw that the One Minute Manager touched on my Achilles’ Heel…
Each of these One minute books teaches some attitude, or a thing to do, that makes you and the people you work with happier, more productive, etc.
Except…

Soul correction, responsibility, what is yours and what is notFirst Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: what others think about me is none of my business.

For most this is the hardest thing to learn.
We grow up in a family or community that consider their “sacred duty and honor” to call us names, to assign responsibility to us.
If you find yourself on the wrong road… trace your way back to where you went astray… and choose a different road.Why? Because trying to go across to where you really wanted to go, without going back, is fraught with death traps.
Humanity, some seven thousand years ago, took a wrong turn. In just a few words: they started to replace reality with word pictures in the mind. Concepts.
This took us to where we are now: not a pretty place. Any and every human is afflicted: no one is exempt.
An “avatar’s” job is to take you backwards so you can find your way from there… They have to have earned the right… by going back personally, backtracking themselves.
Most teachers try to cut across… oh the
Parents want to help, but instead they push you deeper into the bull’s ear.
The expression, came from a student’s father, ((I found a meme that is running my life and I know where it comes from… wohooo.
“I have to prove: “what I know”, “what I can”, “that I am smart”, “that I work hard” etc. To show off.
As I can see it, this context was created by my father. As long as I remember he has been telling me this in Kurdish: “You are in the ears of the bull”. Meaning, not aware, not intelligent, do not amount for anything or being like a donkey.
No matter what I did, got a degree, was not dependent on them like my younger brother and sister, was one of the best in the military, started to make a living.

During the summer of 1966 I ran into a girl I knew from elementary school. Turns out she applied and was accepted to the same school I was going to start in that September.
We were having a chat. I remember thinking to myself: Compared to her I know everything… why am I going to school?
We both graduated. I am sure she still thinks she knows everything. My experience is that I know less and less as time goes by.
Whether you can identify with my 19 year old person, or my 69 year old person, and to what degree will be important, so jot it down.
This article will attempt to answer truth value.
What is the opposite of truth? I have no idea
We throw about big words, and we pretend that we know them. Even “scientists” just pretend. If they didn’t, they would be explaining, clarifying the words, but they don’t.
In the Starting Point Measurements the vocabulary number is what indicates this. I originally intended to call this clarity, but then I decided that if it refers to words, then maybe it can be instructive.
It hasn’t been.
So this article will be, mostly, about words.
Whatever you don’t have words for, whatever you mislabel, whatever you just have feelings or emotions about, no accurate words… are not conscious awareness.
I will add: accurate w
If you are feeling out of sorts, weak, maybe have blurry eyes, or see stars… Also disturbed sleep… This spring has hit me differently than all the previous springs, because I have been more aware than years past. And I … Continue reading “If you are feeling out of sorts, weak, maybe have blurry eyes, or see stars…”
It’s the season of colds. Why? Because the weather is changing and unless you change with it, you are screwed. In evolutionary terms the two capacities/behaviors that almost guarantees survival are awareness and changeability. Yesterday I violated both. I have … Continue reading
I just exchanged emails with the author of the Feelings book, Gyozo Margoczi.
Gyozo means Winner, or Victor in Hungarian… someone who wins over something or someone.
My name: Sophie, means Wisdom.
Names can be taken two ways:
Now I am taking what I learned from him, and still learn through the emails, and I am running with it.
He is stuck in his 9-5, family, financial obligations.
I have only one job: this.
I wrote to him saying that it seems it is m
Yesterday I shared with you the evolution of my Self. It’s like Beethoven’s Fifth… Victorious.
When you look at what I wrote and your life, you may get depressed, feel inferior, and go into despair.
Don’t.
