How to see and be blind at the same time

Hindsight is 20/20 . . . nah . . . it's a MYTH

You are free to change your opinions of the past at ANY time.

The question is . . . which view (aka opinion) of the past has the most usefulness for you and where you want to go in life?

Observation on Genius

(REPOSTED FROM MY MYSPACE BLOG)

Observation on Genius

What many people typically call genius is actually the ability to observe and / or analyze at the level of the deep structure of reality, notice, it and disseminate it, and then articulate it.

At the least it is an ability to UNDERSTAND at the level of deep structure of reality. Articulating it is what makes others realize that YOU ARE a genius.

In the end this ability is really the ability to SEE truth as untainted as possible in what non-geniuses would see as the details or the deep structure of reality. Unfortunately many non-geniuses can't see the "deep structure" of reality.

(Here's an experiment . . . I don't know if it'll work or not
For you non-geniuses out there try really really really observing something and derive the unbiased truth from it as much as you can.)

I'm a man of colour

Try something interesting . . .

Go somewhere that is highly public. A park filled with people near shops is a perfect place as is an art gallery.

pay attention to all that you see in front of you PLUS what you see in your periphery.

Now . . . pay attention only to the COLOURS . . . nothing else . . . do NOT pay attention to the lines, details . . . only notice the world at it's most elemental form . . . masses of COLOUR . . .

And notice how beautiful it is to see it this way.

The Statistic on Statistics

Statistics are a measure of only what has happened SO FAR.

Feel free to change them at ANY time.

Straight A's

The fact that someone was high school valecdictorian, or has an MBA means nothing in terms of real world execution.

Words are words, excuses are excuses, Titles are titles . . . PERFORMANCE is REALITY.
