Thinking Out of the Box

By: Brian Tracy

Improve the Quality of Your Thinking

Human beings are mental organisms. Everything we are or ever will be, will be as the direct result of the way we think. If we improve the quality of our thinking, we must improve the quality of our lives. And, there is no other way to do it.

Youth and Creativity

In one series of I.Q. tests given to children ages 2 - 4 years, 95% of the children were found to be highly creative with curious, questioning minds and an ability for abstract thinking. When the same children were tested again at age 7, only 5% still demonstrated high levels of creativity. In the ensuing years, they had learned to conform; "If you want to get along, you had better go along," is what they had discovered.

The Dangers of Conformity

They had learned to color between the lines, to sit in neat little rows, to do and say what the other kids did and said, and to do as they were told. Over time, they lost the wonderful fearless spontaneity of youth and learned to suppress ideas and insights that were unusual or different.

Aggressively Seek New Ideas

Most of us have had similar experiences. The "Not invented-here" syndrome in many large companies is simply the adult version of "not rocking the boat." But fortunately, since creativity is your birthright, a fundamental part of your nature, you can tap into it at any time, no matter how long it has been since you really used it.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do to start thinking outside of your mental box. First, imagine that there was a vastly better, cheaper, faster way to do your job - and somebody else had already discovered it and was going to put you out of business. Second, imagine doing exactly the opposite of what you are doing today. Allow your mind to float freely and consider how current trends will change your business.

Oh... I really hope she remembers me...

I was shopping for gifts today for the company's function which is going to be held on next Monday. I was with Akak Isk searching and tawaf 3 shopping complexes from Great Eastern Mall to KLCC to The Mall. We met Rosyam Nor at Great Eastern Mall and standing behind Zainal Alam Kadir (he was with a chick!) while going down the escelator at KLCC but what excited me the most was queing behing Ning Baizura at the cashier. I was about to jump excitedly but maintain my composure and I said Hi! to her first.

Ning, I understood you are trying your best to remember who on earth is this lady saying Hi! to me and blabbering non stop hehehehe

.

When I first met Ning and her brother, she was still in school (ni memang citer zaman berzaman hehehe). We participated in several occasions with Orkestra Simfoni Muda under Kementerian Kebudayaan (masa tu ler...). I played the clarinet and she played the violin. Following her singing career through after that. We met again in 2004 and I dont blame her for not remembering me! Me and a celeb????? Totally, extremely not me... :P

.

I wish I could chat longer with her but she in indeed in a hurry. Oh... I really hope she remembers me...

Our meeting after many years. This was taken in 2004.

During recoding of Zoom In With Ning in 2005 at RTM (aku cilok kelas semata2 nak tengok Ning hehehe)

Ning, I will always love your singing... When you hear a song and the singer, you will reflexly know Ning Baizura's voice, definitely ...

Odd Disappearance of Afghanistan's Only Female Olympian

.

Time magazine this week has a feature on the bizarre story of the mysterious disappearance of Afghanistan's only female, Olympics-bound runner. The 19-year-old Afghan middle distance runner, Mehbooba Andyar, went missing in Italy last week while on her way to the Olympics in China. Friends and co-athletes have not seen her since July 4, when she left her training facility in Formia, Italy.

Police are not ruling out any possibilities, although her missing bags and passport do indicate that she may have left on her own. Some believe she's seeking asylum in Europe over fear of Muslim extremists in her homeland where she faced constant rumors of prostitution and repeated threats of violence.

In a recent interview, Andyar said, "I'm the model for my country, being a woman in a typical Muslim nation. I'm very proud to say that I will be participating in the Olympic Games. By virtue of these opportunities, many women from my country are participating in many sports, and this will help to develop a better managed country."

Fears ease after missing Afghan athlete found

by Owen Slot July 10, 2008

Mehbooba Ahadgar, who was the only Afghan female scheduled to be competing in the Beijing Olympic Games next month, has resurfaced after going missing in Italy last week and is en route to Norway, where she will be seeking asylum.

When Ahadgar could not be found at her training camp in Formia on Thursday, there were fears that her disappearance may have been linked to a series of death threats that she had received at home from Muslim extremists, who are opposed to the concept of a woman running in the Olympics.

However, concerns for her family's safety are not over because, since Ahadgar's mysterious disappearance, her parents have been under so much pressure from the Afghan Olympic Committee in Kabul to get their daughter back into her spikes that they have been threatened with imprisonment. Her parents, though, were also in the dark as to her whereabouts until she phoned them on Tuesday.

While her safety is a relief within Olympic circles, her decision to go into hiding a month before the Games is a galling blow because, as an Afghan woman who is proud of her athleticism and her Muslim religion, she became a poster girl for the Games. Ahadgar had been on a scholarship from the Olympic Solidarity programme, which financed training camps in Kuala Lumpur and Italy, even though her running times in her event, the 1,500 metres, meant that she would struggle to finish within a minute of the winners.

.

Ahadgar is not the first Olympic Solidarity scholar to seek asylum in this way. Two Bangladeshi athletes also vanished last year and a runner from Gabon did the same in 2001.

Mehbooba, I wish you all the best and pray to Allah that you will win a gold medal... you go girl! The dream is yours and nobody can take it from you...
