BUTTONS to PRESS
Build yours or let the life elevator take you for an unwanted floor
Once Winston Churchill stated “in the absence of a supreme orientation of war, events and the enemy take the control”. Then you do not have to go to war to take Churchill’s advice even because in your daily life you are in the personal “wars”, each one with its grandeur! If you do not have an orientation to your personal life, everything around you will lead you to a place that you did not want and you will ask yourself what happened to make this place your reality.
However, to take some guidelines for your life, it is necessary to obtain some knowledge and extract from it what will be good for your daily life. Such knowledge can be acquired by reading something, listening to someone, watching things happening or even living news life experiences day by day. After careful analysis of the knowledge acquired you will establish the orientations to follow in your personal life. Best saying … you will establish the life elevator “BUTTONS to PRESS” in your personal life!
The British scientist Michael Faraday read each book that he bound in the little book factory he worked. The king of Macedonia Alexander “The Great” learned a lot about philosophy listening to the Greek philosopher Aristotle . The vice admiral Horatio Nelson acquired large experience watching others commanding officers. All they built their life elevator “BUTTONS to PRESS”, their own orientations to their lives.
But we do not need to go so far to exemplify the importance of the building the life elevator “BUTTONS to PRESS”, orientations. Look at me ... reading biographies, I learned that reading is not enough. You have to read and keep the lessons learned from the "biographyED"; listening to my children I learned that they also have the ability to keep the lessons learned; watching my parents I learned that they also have lessons to be learned and experiencing the military life I learned that all lessons learned should be kept. Naturally, all lessons learned become orientations!
All this learning resulted in my theory called “Sine Qua Non Mind - SQNMind”, the best orientations that I created in my life! What means SQNMind? Read bellow and build your best life elevator “BUTTON to PRESS” to your personal life.
___________ S Q N Mind ___________
The text above is another example of the Sine Qua Non Mind - SQNMind - as I wrote earlier on the MEDIUM website. The SQNMind theory seeks to extract the best from each book you read. The theory consists to extract the most interesting book passages into “essential” [Sine Qua Non] categories for your mind. This will transform your brain into an ocean of raw knowledge ready to be adapted to your reality under any circumstances.
So to better explain the theory I wrote up little explanations inside the ORIENTATION CATEGORY, one of twenty that I developed after years of reading. As IMPETUS I used Winston Churchill, Michael Faraday, Alexander “The Great”, Aristotle, Horatio Nelson and I ( Mr. Daniel Junior :)
Separate book passages! You do not need to write about them as I did above, just read them as many times as you can. A person with SNQMind has a good chance of succeeding in different areas when compared to those who do not read or read and do not keep the lessons learned.
This was Chapter 3 / Scene 3, ORIENTATION. Next scene will be about LEARNING. But if you missed the last full chapter regarding SQNMind theory click on MIND THE GAP .
IT WILL BE CONTINUED!
