Thought Tweet #930

by Rick Baker
On Feb 7, 2014

Thought Tweet #930 If our ancestors thought and acted like they were too busy they would have been eaten. Then where would we be? 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The next time you feel inclined to complain about being too busy think of your ancestors.

Wonderful heritage - Evolution didn't let you down.  Did it?

How about your descendants - what are you passing on to them?

Efficiency happens when things are done right the first time.

Efficiency happens when people learn and remember.

Some people view these as mutually exclusive things.

Isn't that a shame.

Thought Tweet #925

by Rick Baker
On Jan 31, 2014

Thought Tweet #925 Sometimes trouble lurks right beside strength in numbers.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people have natural talents that allow them to be gifted with numbers...it is very evident at an early age. For example, they excel at grade school mathematics. Some of these people are much less gifted when it comes to interacting with people. This may or may not be evident at an early age.
