Opportunities…

Opportunities are like a bus: Either you take it or you don’t and it won’t wait for you. If you don’t make a timely decision, the opportunity is gone. On the other hand, like buses, more opportunities will also come… Imagine yourself looking for an opportunity and grab it the moment you see it, work on it and make it a firm reality. After that, enjoy all that comes along with it… What a feeling!

Do we discourage or encourage innovation?

Today’s business and social environment tend to put a very negative view on failure to the point that many people feel ashamed. In many cases, businesses and people hide any failure to avoid the stigma that is often associated with it. Still, business and society expect success and people to have experience at everything. Furthermore, businesses and society expect plenty of innovation. I wonder, how people will risk doing innovating things, making any changes to improve, try original approaches, etc., when there is such a burden… Imagine, an environment where people is encouraged to try to innovative approaches and new ideas, where everyone involved learn from what it works and what did not convey the expected results.

I little while ago, I saw a video as part a self-development program and there was this character who was stocked in an escalator, which stopped working.

Imagine how many challenges we would conquer, how issues we would resolve and how many arguments we could settle by changing the way we look at them.

Self-Imposed Limits?

Throughout history, many times people (and businesses) have said that something was impossible and then someone did it. After that it became normal. Examples are that the automobile would never replace the horse, that human would never fly (we also have gone to outer space) and the list goes on and on. I wonder how much farther we could go, how much more we could accomplish if we were to challenge our own limitations… Imagine how many new possibilities and opportunities we could find if we were to replace “impossible” with “I’m possible”…

How suitable to me is my thinking style?

We currently have the mean to assess the level of education, knowledge and problem solving skills. We also heavily use these means when hiring someone or looking for work, among other uses. However, very little focus is put on the drivers behind on the how we use the education, knowledge and how we approach problem solving, “thinking style” is I may. Imagine how much more we could do if we understood and gaged our own thinking style, see where we are and how we can improve it to excel at what we want to achieve, just the same way we can understand and assess our qualifications to do something, like being an accountant. I wonder…

Creating the future

Businesses and people are often concerned with the speed things change in the present… I wonder if it would be better to focus on how to create the future we want to have.
