{January 27, 2009}   Making Genius

In his excellent book: “Scientific Genius, Dean Keith Simonton of the USC-Davis, suggests that genuises are forming more novel combinations than the merely talented. His theory has etymology behind it: Cogito- “I think”- orginally connoted “shake together”. Intelligo, the root of intelligence, means to “select among”. This is a clear early indication about the utility of permitting ideas and thoughts to randomly combine with each other and selecting from the many the few to retain.

Like the highly intelligent child with a case of Legos, the genius is constantly combining and re-combining ideas, images, thoughts into different combinations on both the conscious and unconscious levels.

When asked how he was able to come to E=MC2, Einstein called it “combinatory play”. He hadn’t, after all, invented energy, mass or speed but he was able to look at the same world as everybody else and come up with something different. In fact, he considerd this combinatory play to be essential to his thinking.

In my book: “The Secret Creator Within”- 23 Ways To Awaken Your Creative Genius, I actually start my treatise with this important idea by presenting my first ‘Creative Pop’ after a much quoted line from Linus Pauling, the great chemist:

“The best way to get a good idea
is to get lots of ideas.”

To illustrate this concept let’s take Tony Bennet. It has been said of him: “Tony Bennet never sings the same song—once.”

When he was asked if he ever got tired of singing “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” his answer was revealing.

“Do you ever get tired of making love?”

When I heard him say this I wondered how could a man who has performed the same song thousands of times, surely on every occassion he’s had to do a concert in a very long career, still find it so new , so fresh, so exciting that he could compare it to making love?

It’s because he has found the magic in our ‘Creative Pop’— each time he goes on stage he’s looking for ALL the ways this song can be expressed. And after these many years, the countless perfomances of this, his biggest hit, he’s still searching for the next best answer.

It’s amazing when you think about it—he hasn’t exhausted the possibilities—after some fifty years.

The lyrics never changed, “the city by the bay” never went anywhere new, the “cable cars still flew half-way to the stars” each time. The basic melody never changed. But this mastersinger could vary the nuance, the phrasing, the tempo, or the scale each time into a myriad of exciting new combinations.

It’s true Tony Bennet never sings the same song—once!

Did TV producer Lorne Michaels stay with the same cast of Saturday Night Live? No, he constantly looked for new talent, skits, and ways to present humor. He too, always on the quest for the next answer.

Did writer/producer Norman Lear stop creating TV sitcoms when All In The Family was a blow out success? No, he went ‘Uptown’ and everywhere else in his creative search because he kept generating the next idea.

Did Bill Gates stop growing his tiny company in 1975 or stop with his first successful idea, a prototype software package, and halt with the name Microsoft? No.

Mr. Gates went on to the next ideas, and still hasn’t finished finding all of them. He eventually became the richest man in the world.

One way of looking at a problem just doens’t cut it and certainly doesn’t generate genius.

So, how is this done? How can we start to ‘awaken’ creative genius? To explore this I lean heavily on a theory I’ve developed based on a comment by Charles DuBois. He said:

“The important thing is this:
to be able
at any moment to scarifice
that which we are for
that which we could become.”

If we ponder these words carefully, and then ask ourselves: what stops us from creating more ideas and solutions, what makes us so satisfied with the one answer we usually can find? We discover a key in the above quotation from Dubois.

Very often its because we cherish our current state, that immidiate solution, so much that we become too afraid or too timid in changing or discarding it. We’ve been taught, through education and experience, to be afraid of change.

Make no mistake about it, generating the next answer requires a change in your thinking and motivation. It takes courage, too. You must sacrifice what you’ve already found as soon as you find it. Who would want to do that? No one does. No one except ‘original thinkers’ and creative geniuses.

To them this is second nature. They are so content in combining ideas and shuffling together one position against another that they hardly find much sacrifice in losing a single solution shortly after its discovery. There is a sort of inner converstation that is constantly pulsing— which they heed— because it leads to real breakthrough, what I call ‘original’ thinking.

{January 26, 2009}   I Think I See Gold!

I bet you are saying to yourself what in the hell is this person talking about? Now hold on before you judge me, give me a chance to redeem myself and make sense of this whole chapter. Even the title will make sense in just a short while, so just hold on to those opinions and let me have a shot - Thank You!

Let us say your house burned down and all that you were able to get out of it was you and your wife and children. Now do not get me wrong that is the most important thing to get out. At least your family is safe. Yet you are sad because everything you had is gone. All your cloths are gone. You are overwhelmed by the loss you are now suffering. Then a strange thing happens you look down in the ashes and you think you see gold in the fire. Somehow it is different; it is like all your desires.

What this means you are wondering to yourself? It hits you - your house was worth $85000 and they, (the insurance company) are willing to pay you 130,000! This amount staggers you… now you can get a new house and still have enough to get clothes, a TV, and the whole works.

So when things seem bad, look in the ashes and there is surely some gold there. I must let you know, it’s from your lowest point that is when you see gold and things turn around for you and this enables you to make it to your greatest heights. Therefore, that is why you should look for gold in the fire. When things look the worst that is when we make it to our greatest heights.

What is another reason to look for the gold? Let us say your marriage is in the dumps. All you do is fight with her, always yelling at one another and all you feel is anger. How do we find gold in the fire? Instead of fueling the fire, you need to look at ways to put the fire out and this will be your gold in the ashes.

Maybe you should work on yourself instead of trying to change her, why not change yourself. Love her for who she is (there is a nugget!) Buy her a rose for no special reason and tell her you love her. You will be surprised at how she will change if you are just willing to kill her with kindness (there is another nugget!)

Therefore, I hope you see how you can see gold in any bad situation. How, with a little effort on your part, you can turn the ashes into whatever you want to. You have the power to turn the gold into anything that you want. Therefore, the next time you see ashes and a fire in a bad situation, know that your greatest triumphs come from your lowest lows.

When you see gold in the fire it may be that little voice inside of you saying hey, it is not so bad here. Is there a way we can get out of this mess and yes that IS a golden nugget - please does not waste it! It truly is a gift from God and you should act on this idea.

Please know if you look in the ashes long enough, you will see the gold! Therefore, hang in there when times get tough as victory is just around the corner. Stop and look for the gold in the ashes and the plan will be given to you before long. You will be saying I think I see gold in the fire!

With Much Love,

{January 26, 2009}   HR Software

HR software can often hold the key of success for your company. Your human resource department can often be considered the backbone of your business. They are responsible for hiring, firing, and paying employees. They also need to make sure that company moral remains constant and that employees follow the necessary conduct rules.

HR software is designed to make their job easier. There are individual software programs that can manage applications, keep track of employee progress and pay employees. There is also software that handles all these tasks. How do you choose an HR software program that is right for you?

First, consider the size of your company. Certain HR software packages are made for different sized companies. For example, a small company will need to have HR software that is tailored for their specific needs. If the company is small enough, you may not need a computer to handle certain tasks such as manage applications.

Next, consider the tasks you need the software to handle. Perhaps you purchased software packages piecemeal and now want one package that handles all the needed tasks. Perhaps you already have an HR software payroll system, but now need something to manage employee hiring.

Once you determine your needs, you will want to research reputable software outlets. Ask other business owners where they go for their software. Search the forums and software testing sites for reviews. Also, consider your budget. Some HR software packages can be expensive, but there may be an alternative that is almost as effective for half the cost.

Choosing an HR software package that is right for your company can be a long process. Some HR software companies may let you try their software for free for a certain time frame. This is often the best way to find HR software that is right for you.

{January 25, 2009}   Adult Education Can Make You a Better Income

Adult Education could make you a better income. By: Stein Pettersen

Adult education could make you a better income. It’s a fact. The average lifetime income without higher education is $1,2 million. With a degree the lifetime income is about $2,1 million.

But how can I afford to go back to school when I’m need to make money every day and support a family and pay for my house? No problem!

Today it is very easy to get a degree in many ways. A correspondence course is one way to start. The Internet has also many courses for you to choose. Every one of the possibilities has one thing in commom. You have to be motivated. By choosing to take courses over the net or by correspondence you can study whenever you want in your own tempo. You can study when you have time to do it. The best however is to study every day.

You can easily split the courses and payments up in several parts that fit your economy.

If you don’t like to study alone you can be networking with other people thru the internet. That will make you feel less isolated than studying alone at home. You do also have people around you to help you with the questions you might have.

An education can even improve your health, and a number of research studies have shown positive correlation between completion of higher education and good health, not only for oneself, but also for own children.

Adult education can give you a better memory. When you use your brain you will in fact get more braincells and can even delay Alzheimers disease by keeping your brain more active. Adults have often easier ways to pick up things since they are in fact more experienced in life. Adult continuing educatione keeps you healthy and prevents brain deterioration.

It’s easier to get a new job. You could be selfemployed. In modern times you can only expect to keep one job for a short time. You are going to need to retrain for next job. Remember: You can’t be sacked if you are self-emplyed, but you can get broke. It is best develope home business part-time until it is earning you twice as much as your job. Then if you are retrethed from job you won’t care.

Why not go for a College Education? More data and research shows that a college education not only increases a graduates earning power but also opens new doors and opportunities that would not exist before they completed their degree. A college graduate gets jobs easier also.

Where do I find information about schools, courses, internet studies and colleges? Easy. Search Google. There are also several sites around the net that can help you choose.

Online learning can be completely dynamic and engaging. Whether it is due to health, excessive job travels, military personnel statoned overseas, or living in a remote or rural area, contiuing your education and earning your degree online is possible.

Stein Pettersen is the owner of a site with several links and information on the best schools, courses, and information on this. The link is http://geteducation.info



{January 24, 2009}   Take Your Photo: But Avoid Common Pitfalls #2

Finding that your images are blurred can be a real disappointment especially if you have gone to some lengths to get the shot you wanted or if the shot would have had some value for you or someone else.

Blurred images, as well as being common, are also difficult, even with digital cameras, to see at the picture taking stage. The small LCD screen on most digital cameras can make even blurred images appear to be sharp, especially if there is a lot of ambient light making the screen difficult to visualise.

Sometimes, it is only when you see your images on the computer screen that you realise that the pictures are blurred. Then it is too late.

Here’s how to avoid blurred images:

1. Prepare yourself beforehand: know what shot you are going to take, how and when. Make sure you are in control of your camera settings and that you keep the subjects (where appropriate) under some sort of control. In this way you will avoid hurriedly taken shots.

2. Focus accurately: it may sound simple, but even automatic focussing can be beset with difficulties - know where your camera is focussing (centre, off-centre) and how the mechanism works; ensure there is enough light to focus with and avoid focussing on flat or highly reflective surfaces

3. Get the eyes!: in any sort of portrait or group shot, the eyes are the most important part - a subject with out of focus eyes wil look abnormal and less appealing

4. Correct your shutter speed: if you use a slow shutter speed (less than 1/60th second) then you will be at risk of blur from camera shake.

5. Consider flash: if there is fast action or movement, especially in lower light, you will get movement blur - use your flash to freeze the subject

6. Think about manual: most cameras can shoot quite happily on automatic mode, but sometimes it is wise to change to semi-automatic or manual mods; in this way you can be sure of choosing the right settings for the shot and thereby avoid blurred images

{January 20, 2009}   Stock in the Poker Market

The World Poker Tour has long been part of the NASDAQ trading sphere, trading under the name Intermix Media, Inc. However, with a senior partner Lakes Entertainment, INC looking to break from the poker company and shares falling below 1.00 USD per share, the new CFO Thomas Flahie is having to deal with the same problems that many other smaller businesses are in the current economic downturn.

In August, WTP, INC received a letter from NASDAQ that their company was on the verge of delisting. NASDAQ requires that shares meet the 1.00 USD minimum to continue to be listed and traded on their network. Yesterday, the stock closed at just over .50 USD. NASDAQ gives companies 180 days to become compliant with their listing requirements else face removal from the trading list.

Currently WPT has used up about 45 days, so they still have quite a bit of time to get their finances in order.

And WPT CEO Steve Lipscomb remains optimistic about the poker company’s ability to rebound on in the stock market.

{January 19, 2009}   The Godfather (DVD) Review

Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Godfather was nominated for an additional eight Oscars. The brainchild of celebrated author Mario Puzo, the film is considered the crowning achievement of Francis Ford Coppola’s directing career. With intriguing depth, it provides audiences with a glimpse into the notorious underworld of warring New York crime families. As a result, The Godfather transformed a number of relatively unknown actors into Hollywood legends, among them being James Caan, Al Pacino, and Robert Duvall (all three of whom were nominated for Best Supporting Actor). In addition, Marlon Brando turns in, arguably, the most memorable performance of his career. Certainly among the top five films of all time, an excellent case could be made that The Godfather is the most perfect movie ever produced…

The film opens as “Don” Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) hosts his daughter’s wedding, where he actively entertains his friends and business associates. Vito’s favorite son Michael (Al Pacino) has come home from the war (World War II), and he’s determined to do something different with his life, and his ambitious plans don’t include joining the family business. An idealist at heart, the young Michael seduces his girlfriend Kay (Diane Keaton) with inspiring tales of the fine and upstanding things he will do with his life. Through the eyes of Michael, the audience learns of the family’s various business methods and the hierarchy of its system. Vito’s eldest son Sonny (James Caan) is the heir apparent to his father’s empire. Middle son Fredo (John Cazale) performs his part in the business, but few consider him a possible successor. Providing legal council to the family is Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), a long-time friend of the family who Michael treats as a brother.

Life is good for the Corleone family until the day Vito is approached by an opportunistic newcomer named Virgil “The Turk” Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), an ambitious leader who aspires to become the number one distributor of illegal narcotics in New York. He asks for the Don’s blessing so he can expand his operations. But Vito sees a big difference between the traditional mafia activities of gambling and prostitution and the less-than-noble profession of selling drugs in schoolyards and family neighborhoods. The Don’s preference for placing family above all else creates a direct conflict with the changing landscape of his business world.

When competing crime families are more accommodating to Sollozzo’s business proposal, the enterprise sparks a deadly conflict between the crime families which quickly escalates into all-out war. Despite Vito’s attempts to put an end to the conflict in its early stages, his beloved firstborn, Sonny, becomes the target of gangland assassination. When an attempt is made on Vito’s life, Michael is drawn into the family business despite his reservations, and the overriding theme of “family first” comes to dominant his life in much the same way it’s dominated that of his father…

A dramatic story of family and change, of youthful idealism and the pragmatism of adulthood, The Godfather is the greatest mafia film ever produced, and perhaps as the best drama in all of cinema history. Al Pacino would soon follow up his masterful performance with The Godfather II, and countless other films in the decades since, forever cementing his place among the immortals Hollywood. As such, The Godfather is a film all movie lovers should see at least one. Widely heralded as one of the best written films in existence, it’s a definite “must-see” for any serious cinema aficionado…
