On Apr 23, 2013

Thought Tweet #722 Intelligent people grow kinder with age.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Leaders have at least 3 strong qualities: Intelligence, Self-Control, & Drive

Leaders are life-long learners.

As they age, often sooner rather than later, they gain Intelligence in the area of Self-Control and they put that intelligence to good use.

Thought Tweet #721 Did cavemen bite their fingernails?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

My mind occasionally wanders into evolutionary thoughts. I think about cavemen. Sometimes I write about them

I wonder how cavemen dealt with complex things like child-birth and child-rearing. I wonder how they dealt with simpler things like fingernail care.

Thought Tweet #720

Thought Tweet #720 We praise our phones by calling them "smart" then we toss them away, replacing them in adolescence.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Following up on yesterday's Thought Tweet #719, our technologies are becoming as fragile as our relationships. 

Puppy Love used to apply to puppies...then it morphed toward hand-holding teenagers...now it has morphed toward hand-touched technologies.

Thought Tweet #719

Thought Tweet #719 Nowadays...technologies are becoming as fragile as relationships.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When you disappoint a person, trust drops. Maybe you'll get a second chance to repair the trust. Maybe you will not.

It is easier to destroy an interpersonal relationship than build one.

Interpersonal relationships are fragile - we know that.

Now, there's another complication in our lives: technologies are becoming increasingly fragile. Technologies are becoming so fragile we replace them long before we break them.

Thought Tweet #718

Thought Tweet #718 How much would you pay for a can of clone spray?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

People are genetically similar; people are radically different. Sometimes people differences lead to amazing results; sometimes people differences lead to mayhem. 

If we had cans of clone spray then we could take turns using them on one another. Wouldn't that improve communication?

Thought Tweet #717

Thought Tweet #717 Battles require people; people require battles.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

We all have heard it takes two to tango. Tango requires people...two. Battles require people...at least one.

Battles are a fact of human nature. The question is: Do you back into battles or do you pick them well? Is logic in action when you select your battles? Does self-control determine your battles and how you fight them? Do your battles align with your strengths?
