Reality - “Bites”

Down the road there's a temple buzzing with tens of thousands of devotees. Outside the temple a small boards appeared to be written with the tagline “Real place for Real People”. There is nothing wrong with the words but something is amiss. I wonder - what real people mean. What other kind of people are there?

I questioned myself. Let us get one thing straight. Everything is real. Even dreams are real dreams. The word has its place, however. It should be used to distinguish between something that is what it appears to be and something that is not what it appears to be.

When they say someone is real, I think they mean to say that he or she is unpretentious, straightforward, honest, frank, direct, genuine, and/or aboveboard. And that's a real problem, because it makes them real dangerous! Got it?

I questioned again. Do real people exist? Or do people around you want you to be real?
Everyone begins with a spark of inspiration. But most people flash and fade before they have a chance to set the world on fire. Why? Ask yourself.

There is no one path. The problem is often choosing which one to chase. There are all sorts of wise sayings. Not everything is right or real. Faint praises have there place. I say they are required. Extent is what needs to be measured. I'm more interested in, in a way, discovering what we are now and here.

We just need a force / way to feel it.

Believing Is Seeing/Speaking

A limitation of our eyes enables us to see movies as fluid motion, when we are actually looking at a series of pixel of images each second. It's called Endurance-d Vision. A similar phenomenon might be called Endurance-d Ignorance.

Humans often get things wrong - sometimes they get things so wrong that they turn to a right. The history of human invention is filled with things that went superbly wrong, to the benefit of all of us. Computers are not supposed to do wrong things - they are supposed to be obviously right. This is why they’ll never be human, unless they learn how to fail.

That's one of benefits of life and the living - being able to make conscious, free-will choices. When the definition of success is little more than following a pattern of previous success, creative minds don't seem to enjoy the process very much or for very long. We don't consider it a great success.

I think I know why.

Cultivate a skeptical attitude. I have just made this up .If you believe it; start making a habit of always challenging new information, especially if it surprises you. Start with statistics. Trust yourself. Speak up. You might be right. Check yourself. In a class (world) full of creative fire (mind), where everybody knows the answer, winner is the one who raise hand to answer first.

Keep your creative fire hot and burned. However, Creative solutions and ideas don't always have to come from struggle and sweat. Innovation is sometimes right under your nose, around the corner, or back home where you grew up. Work like an investigative reporter. Get up and go get the facts.

Speak it. Dig it. Google it. Read it.

Anger – Introducing the Sixth Sense – A Challenge

What do you mean by constructive criticism?

Ask yourself, “How would the quality of your life improve if you use me in safe, acceptable ways?” No creative director, design team leader, invention expert, or innovation guru is ever gonna tell you what you can or cannot do as long as I'm one of your senses.

I'm Anger--the voice inside your head (and not heart) that tells you in no uncertain terms how you feel, what you like, and what you hate. And I'm here to be heard! Until you express me, the way you feel, I'm gonna make you stew.

Just try to keep me bottled up inside and you're headed for ulcer city. I'll eat your insides and pump up the pressure in your skull, until you take decisive action.

I won't settle for whining either. You can complain all day to your friends and family, but until you confront the powers that be and get something done, I'm gonna make you sweat till your hands tremble and knees shake. I'm the sense that turns complaints into solutions, if used constructively.

Likewise, if nobody complains, nothing gets done, nothing improves. No innovation. No creativity.

Complainers make you uncomfortable, don't they? Because you know where they're coming from. You've been there. Haven't you? Why did you get upset? Because I had my say. That's why.

Remember, it is human to have me. What you do with me, which counts.

That's right. It's me. I'm Anger, and I don't take anything sitting down. Think about it. Would there be any justice without me? Face it, indignation, whether it's righteous or for self, gets the job done.

Don't stand there and take it. Rise up. Instead of making your anger bad, stuffing it down or exploding with frustration, take The Anger Challenge. Make it your sense.
