To Be Successful, We Need Everyone To

There Is A Strong Tendency To Get Used To And Accept Very Bad Things That Would Be Shocking If Seen With Fresh Eyes.

This Is My Year Of Transition From What I'm Calling The Second Phase Of My Life To The Third Phase Of My Life. And I Wanted To Pass It Along. What I Mean By That Is, In The First Days Of Your Life You're Dependent On Others And You Learn. You're Basically A Kid, Depending On Your Parents. In The Second Phase Of Your Life, You're Working And Others Are Dependent On You And You're Trying To Be Successful. And Then When You Go To The Third Phase Of Your Life It's No Longer As Much Of A Kick To Be Successful. There's A Natural, Instinctual Desire To Help Other People Be Successful.

I Believe There Are An Infinite Number Of Laws Of The Universe And That All Progress Or Dreams Achieved Come From Operating In A Way That's Consistent With Them. These Laws And The Principles Of How To Operate In Harmony With Them Have Always Existed. We Were Given These Laws By Nature. Man Didn't And Can't Make Them Up. He Can Only Hope To Understand Them And Use Them To Get What He Wants.

To Have An Idea Meritocracy, One Needs To Do Three Things. First, They Have To Put Their Honest Thoughts On The Table, For Everyone To Look At And Everyone To Work Through. Second, They Need To Have Thoughtful Disagreement, By Which There Are Quality Exchanges, In Which There's Open Mindedness And The Realization That No One Has All The Right Answers. And You Can Work Through That And Get To Better Answers Because Good Collective Decision Making Is Better Than Any Individual Decision Making. And Third, You Have To Have Ways Of Getting Past The Disagreements If They Remain.

I Don't Get Caught Up In The Moment.
