Thought Tweet #743

by Rick Baker
On May 22, 2013

Thought Tweet #743 Procrastination can be OK...as long as you are not almost going through the motions.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people have mastered the art of procrastinating for success. 

Somehow, intuitively, or through self-analysis, they know certain actions go against their grain. So, either consciously or non-consciously, they don't do. They don't almost do. They just don't do. And, they don't fret about it.

Thought Tweet #742 INTEGRITY: there's a word that may go without saying...but not with just saying.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

After all these years...I still have a beef with people who spew out the word Integrity. [see May 23rd, 2013 Thought Post]

Thought Tweet #740

Thought Tweet #740 It's easy to make a significant change: just tell everyone you have developed an electricity intolerance.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Sure, change is tough.

But you gotta look on the bright side: if you don't like that last suggestion - when the urge to change gets too annoying, you can always watch a TV rerun.

Now, do you see the benefit in the power of positive thinking?

Thought Tweet #736

by Rick Baker
On May 13, 2013

Thought Tweet #736 The 'mob' is convinced someone else is responsible for motivating each and every one in the 'mob'.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

I used to write a lot about the 'mob'...

  • wrong thinkers
  • chronic complainers
  • narrow minders
  • finger pointers
  • frowners
...people who are just going through the business motions.

Thought Tweet #733 Extra, Extra, Read All About It: The Future Shock Pandemic Is Upon Us. Many now unable to return phone calls.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When Alvin Toffler warned us about Future Shock he didn't mention all these people would become so shocked they wouldn't even be able to return phone messages!
