What a curious man!

 

What a curious man! Half-monk and Half-race track operator!

Aldous Huxley on Alan Watts

this is continuing on the topic of relaxed-active phase;

I am thinking of this 2X2 model in which i need to operate!





I approach any new week or activity with anxiety;
either being passive or being active - but anxious of Tomorrow;

rather i need to move into this relaxed -active phase

relaxed as Monk - but active as a Race track driver

I remember the book titled -" Go slow to Grow fast" Brent R Tilson

Brent says " A colleague of mine races Porsches : he gives the image of the Racer; If you want to win, you need to know how to slow down as much as how to speed up. How you enter and exit a corner will have an enormous impact on your performance of the straightway. you have to think 2 cars ahead and not what the guy in front of you is doing. And you cant do that unless your mind is not together and cool"
Another analogy is to operate like the Cheetah
@Dr Julie Gurner Twitter

you can be forceful ; brash; full of ego; but best way to operate is like Cheetah : quiet but absolute killer

-Cheetahs are not big personalities - no bravado - but quiet, unassuming, thoughtful - incredible acumen
-Cheetahs are precise- They don't waste energy - operate at breakneck speed , when target in sight-but behind the scenes
-Cheetahs are quiet and solitary - but are the fastest land animal on earth- don't operate according to common assumptions
Be a Cheetah!

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
