Thought Tweet #990

by Rick Baker
On May 2, 2014

Thought Tweet #990 When they are messing on the floor, sometimes you just gotta put down your newspaper.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Only a Baker's Dozen years ago, double entendre, & a wicked sense of humour.

Thought Tweet #989 Only tiny creatures perceive molehills as mountains.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Moles are small creatures and they make small hills.

If you perceive a molehill to be a mountain then you must be much smaller than a mole...you must be a tiny creature indeed.

Thought Tweet #988 Be pleased to repeat, repeat, repeat...that's the key to teaching, inspiring, & influencing people.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."

Benjamin Franklin

When we observe repetition, we learn.

When we repeat, others have the opportunity to learn.

Thought Tweet #987

Thought Tweet #987 "Men trust their ears less than their eyes." It took 2400 years for psychologists to confirm this ancient wisdom.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

"Men trust their ears less than their eyes."

Herodotus

Greek Historian, 484BCE-425BCE

Now, 2400 years after Herodotus, psychologists are completing experiments that confirm Herodotus' ancient wisdom...our eyes overrule our ears...truly, we do believe what our eyes see them do more than what our ears hear them say. This applies to their major actions and to their minor body-language signals.

Thought Tweet #986 Willpower: use it or fail to have it. 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Willpower relies on energy. Use it wisely. Use it regularly. Drain it. Rebuild it. Strengthen it.

Willpower [and its outcome, self-control]: use it or fail to have it.
