“No-one is ever born a skilled thinker!”
"The way to success lies in doing more than your job calls for." - F. W. Nichol
‘Unless science is used for the betterment of mankind, I am at a loss to understand the reason for it all. It does not require a clever brain to destroy life. In fact any fool can do that.
But it takes brains- and extraordinarily brilliant brains- to create conditions for human happiness and to make life worth living’ Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
To introduce the ability to learn to improve thinking not through formal methodologies approach to the intellects but equipping the brain neuron system capable soft-wares that changes the dynamics of the whole thinking process.
It will awaken its sleepy, sluggish nature to that of quick observations, keen finding solutions capabilities to read dangers before it comes looking through the future.
Point out practical users to every skill thinker you become smarter.
It helps you to observe your kids and help them to become better than ourselves the parents. I understand that the responsibility to bring-up children to the best we can is what God will judge us for at the end of our lives.
We will overcome the style of thinking that we must always increase cost of utilities services, fuels in other to developed.
We will become innovative and we will show our people better uses of resources, reduces cost of education and cost of health care through better self care approaches in running health services across board just by encouraging the public interest to self-care because the public will learn through clear thinking methodology. People’s thinking will create better awareness of self and the right and respect for others that will reduces accidents on our roads.
If public officials acquire better thinking skills that further develop personal power the need for corruptions will be minimal with time.
It is the uses to what corrupt money is use that is so interesting.
If our young ones are equip with personal power at tender age what could influence them with corrupt money? So it has long term consequences too.
Ghana is so fortunate that we have a great soul like Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who is a great thinker in his own right and the greatest thinker for Africa in the last century.
This should boast and inspire every effort of every individual at all level and age but we wanted to pull him down or aside but for more than fifty years we are not able to move forward.
Today we have more educated people than at independence which means that we should have develop faster but not at all.
This writer thinks that there is a solution to all issues hence his passionate appeal to the elites, Even though I know they may not take it easily, but for their own survival they should. Everyone young and old I mean every person should get the learn to think into our schools, into our homes, on our televisions, on radio into our newspapers as a matter of urgency. For it is the only way we as humans can move forward as the develop countries are doing today it is childish to think that aids donor partnership WILL !!! not in 100 years.
After a lifetime spent in search of what constitutes greatness in a man, and for words which will inclusively define that which we call "greatness," I have finally concluded that the following is a perfect definition: Man's power lies in his ability to demonstrate a principle.
Upon the structure of the above definition, this is written to probe as deeply as possible into what makes one man superior or inferior to another.
The author believes that one may multiply himself at will by multiplying his power of thinking.
One cannot multiply one’s power without a greater knowledge of what constitutes power.
Let us question this in order that we may multiply ourselves without limit.
Fear and Change
Fear of thought and fear of change are the two great anchors which hold civilization back, and hold the individual back. Civilization is about to undergo the greatest change in two thousand years.
Men fear it. Maeterlinck says: “At every crossroad on the way that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past.”
This imminent change is due to the rapidly evolving greater race of THINKERS which began the world about one hundred years ago in preparation for this day.
Bertrand Russell says: “Men fear THOUGHT, as they fear nothing else on earth.” Civilization is once more about to re-divide and subdivide itself into THINKERS who lead and non-thinker followers.
Periodically civilization thus divides its progeny into the favored and the un-favored, and each person is himself the determining factor in his own classification.
This pending re-division and re-classification of the world’s great thinkers and followers is the most stupendous which has ever taken place in the history of man.
The THINKER has always ruled, possessed, owned, commanded and become exalted above the followers, who has always been exploited as the laborer, impoverished, enslaved and oppressed.
Gradually, however, the narrowing social and economic gap between the two has lessened the misery of the laborer, but the division between thinker and follower remains.
Why? because the coming new cultural age of greater luxury and higher standards of living that the world has ever known before will demand a greater percentage of thinkers and a lesser percentage of followers.
Man's knowledge is like a deep well of still water. His thinking is like a two-way pump which divides the quality of that stillness into quantities of parts and sets them flowing.
That is what the physical universe is: quantities of many seemingly separated moving things extended from the one quality of unity in God and each one is forever seeking to find that unity.
Knowledge is the foundation of man's concepts. Thinking transfers his concepts into product. The quality of his product depends upon the quality of knowledge and not upon the quality or quantity of his thinking.
Water cannot be drawn from an empty well, nor can clear water be drawn from a muddied well. Likewise good product cannot come from thinking without knowledge or understanding to back that thinking.
Knowledge cannot be acquired from without. It is acquired from within through recollection, recognition, intuition, or inspiration, which is the language of the spirit.
Knowledge should not be confused with information. Information belongs to effect, and knowledge to cause.
Just as food in the grocery store is not nourishment until its essentials are converted to the blood stream, likewise information is not knowledge until its essentials, which are cause in it, are recognized by the spirit as eternal truth.
The final stages of the Knowledge Revolution we have by-passed the information age long ago, our next stage will be Honesty Revolution while humanity WILL express what it means to be human.
Thank you and let me hear from you.
