Take The Time-Out To Think...

by Rick Baker
On May 24, 2012

Take the time out to think...

Apparently, Julius Caesar said, "Under my tent in the fiercest struggle of war I have always found time to think of many other things."

This, to me, is an example of successful people have more time

Now, you can interpret that Julius Caesar quote many ways - as examples:

  • He had a unique ability to select topics for his thoughts even under the most-difficult situations.
  • He found a way to shut out undesirable noise and distraction so he could think about things important to him.
  • He excelled at selecting leaders of men and delegating the actions of war.
  • He was a very confident fellow.
Probably, all of the above are true.
 
Some people are naturally gifted with an ability to concentrate under difficult situations. Those who do not possess this natural ability can develop it. It is true - most people will not be able to develop concentration and thought-power to the level attributed to Julius Caesar. Then again - business people don't have to lead Roman armies. 
 
Business people can develop the ability to concentrate on important things even while fires are being fought around them. Today, more than ever, this is a necessary skill to develop.
 
Four of the keys to this skill are:
  • getting present
  • using simple tools
  • practicing
  • conditioning via baby steps

Thought Tweet #484 If our Bad Habits could only have Watch Dogs...even little Bichons.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

My dog barks when she sees strangers walking by our home. She has a keen eye for strangers...picks them out from long distances. 

Imagine...if our Bad Habits had could only have such little Watch Dogs...always alert, like little Bichons...vigilant...attentive to our best interests...
