Projecting. Future Thinking?...
"Zen Buddhists say that an oak tree is brought into creation by two forces at the same time. Obviously, there is the acorn from which it all begins, the seed which holds all the promise and potential, which grows into the tree. Everybody can see that. But only a few can recognize that there is another force operating here as well - the future tree itself, which wants so badly to exist that it pulls the acorn into being, drawing the seedling forth with longing out of the void, guiding the evolution from nothingness to maturity. In this respect, say the Zens, it is the oak tree that creates the very acorn from which it was born." - Elizabeth Gilbert
The Chinese take away...
“No matter how great your triumphs or how tragic your defeats, remember that approximately one billion Chinese people couldn't care less”. - Abraham Larzo
Evolving the chaotic networks...
“The 80s were basic plumbing. The 90s added some form of uncoordinated robotic motion. 2000s might even put in a nervous system - though it will still look like Frankenstein. 2010s might finally get a brain - that's where value networks really kicks in!” - Jeremy Cox
Remember, there is only one golden rule... ‘there are no golden rules’ but...
"Delegate, simplify, and leverage IT." - Sophie Vandebroek, Chief Technology Officer, Xerox
Presence of the advanced mind...
“Every human being is not one, but two. One is the person that we have become through the journey of the past. The other one is the dormant being of the future that we could become through the journey of the future. Who we become will depend on the choices we make and the actions we take now. That being of the future is our highest or best future possibility. Both these beings are real in the sense that each one constitutes a specific body of resonance—the field of the past and the field of the future. I can evoke an active resonance with either field. Usually these two fields of resonance—and the different dimensions of our evolving self that they represent—are poles apart. The essence of ‘presencing’ is to get these two selves to talk to each other, to resonate, both individually and collectively.” - Theory U: 24 principles
And finally...
“Democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the man who will get the blame”. - Laurence J Peter
