Title: Think-A-bi-lity
“Think before you speak, Read before you think.” ~ Frances Ann
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.” ~ Henry Ford
Someone once said that the problem with having an open mind, of cause, is that people will come and try to help you put things in it.
When you don't determine what you think upon, circumstances or people will.
When Bishop David Oyedepo was asked once, what he does with his time, his reply was simple; 'I read and think.'
The basis for action is thought, and our thought is determined by what we hear, see, or feel. Thoughts can be rational or Irrational depending on the source. But a prevalent thought that is eventually expressed through action is determined by once values or conditioning.
Thinking is the ability to deliberately engage once mind power and focus it to get solution to a problem or make a situation better. But, because of the way many have been conditioned by the rat-race, they prefer to take the quick approach to solving a problem instead of thinking through it. So, the business challenge they have keeps showing Up shortly after every quick fix.
Thinking for many is the slowest approach to getting result, so, we end up asking everyone to give us answers that already exist in us, but clouded by anxiety. And then, finally, after we have wasted so much time, we sit down with ourselves only to realise that the answer had been with us all along, only waiting for us to spend some quality thinking time.
Thinking is a deliberate exercise. People who take a quick fix approach to solving business leadership or management issues, are just running on their foot. But, people who spend quality time thinking, might look like time waters to others, but, when they set out, they take a flight and arrive their destination, while the people running are still years behind.
Productive Thinking:
