Capability (What Can You Do?)

Capability (What Can You Do?)
What is capability? What can you do? What is can?

You say, “I wish I could do that. But I can’t.” Sometimes the thing you desire seems most evasive and elusive to you. You may seem to think that you need money or something else that is external to you for you to be able to achieve your desire. And because this external thing is away from you and you don’t have it, you think that you are doomed because even that seems elusive.

So you are stuck in a vicious circle. You accept that, you fear it.
But before you accept something that has absolutely no value to you, take another look. Fear is a thing we are conditioned to accept without question, yet it has absolutely no value.

Next time you accept fear, ask yourself what value it really has for you. Escape is not a value. There is nowhere to run. Eventually, you will be found and you will have to face yourself.


Running away from a problem is an idea that stems from the illusion that there is a you with a problem, and a you that can escape the you with the problem. Insane? Yep! The first step to getting out of a problem is knowing and accepting that you are the problem, and then you become the solution. Nothing outside changes, but as you change, a new outside replaces the old.

The law of attraction and the law of cause and effect work this way.
For now, let us define capability. What is can?
Everyone has things that they can do now that they could not do before. You can now walk while as a child you could not. The ground never changed, but you did.

You can now read while you once could not. The English language never changed, but you did. At one time, Bill Gates could not write software, now he can. The world did not change, Bill did. At one time, Jesus could not perform miracles, then he did. Miracles did not change, Jesus did. At one time the Buddha was not enlightened, then he was. The ways of the universe did not change, the Buddha did.

Do you get the picture? There are a million things that a person can do now that they could not do years ago. Why?
It is never those things that changed. What changed was the idea that this person had of himself or herself. Have you seen the movie The Matrix? When Neo changed his idea of himself, he was able to do the undoable. It is so with everyone.


So what is can? What is capability. It is nothing more than a shift in what you think you are. What You Really Are is a being with infinite possibilities. Everyone is. We are all literally an idea. As such, success is not something we can chase and get, it is something that we attract by the persons we become. We become those persons by changing the idea of what we think we are.
The problem is not with the world. The problem, if there is one, is with your recognition of yourself and your world. The way you perceive and interpret yourself and your world is a system.

Change that system, through seeking new truths, and you change your world.
To put it in another way, on earth you are a being that has experiences. These experiences are determined by your thoughts, which are determined by your perceptions. And these experiences are experienced through perception. It is a cycle. The key here is that perception is a learnt system.


You learnt your own way of perception as you grew up. Whatever you accepted as true from your parents, friends, teachers, and so on, is what builds your framework of perception. Perception is a learnt system.

You learn it, and you can just as easily unlearn it. You unlearn it by replacing it with a new system, and you get a new system by seeking new truths from books, guides, your higher self, and so on.

The world that you perceive is perceived differently by the next guy. We are all seeing an illusion, an interpretation of energy activity that we are the creators of. The Real world is seen through vision, not perception. And vision only comes when you finally drop all your judgement of what you see, when you let it tell you what it is instead of you saying what it is. But that is another story all together.

You are in charge of ‘can’, and no one else. People can tell you that you can’t, all day long, until they grow hoarse and lose their voices. It will have absolutely zero effect on you. Unless you accept it. What did you accept as a child? Do you like it? Then un-accept it. Change. Re-create yourself. Have a new idea of who you are!

~ Learning From Legends

~Learning From Legends


When I run into a problem, I think, "What would Einstein or Edison do in this situation?"

We are so fortunate that we don't have to make our own way - we have inherited a great wealth of information we can use.

Instead of stumbling, trying to gather wisdom , Newton, Edison, Einstein and others hand it to us.

We learn from what they did.

We inherit their innovation.

For instance, when Edison was trying to figure out how to increase the flow of messages in the telegraph, he considered how to increase the flow of water in a pipe.

By thinking about his problem that way, he was able to separate the flow of current and thus send simultaneous messages on the same telegraph wire.

Tip: When you come up with a problem, think about what the essence of the problem is, and then think of what other things could have the same basic problem.

Thomas Edison had a problem with stealing - he was famous for taking someone else's idea and then improving it or thinking of another way to apply it.
He said, "Make it a habit to keep on the lookout for novel and interesting ideas that others have used successfully.

Your idea needs to be original only in its adaption to the problem you are working on."

Thomas Edison had several tables, each with a project on it. He would work on one until he found himself lacking inspiration.

Then he would move on to the next table. And on to the next. Suddenly he would receive an inspirational thought about how the project he was working on connected with another. And he would rush back to the first table and work again, inspiration renewed.

Tip: When inspiration is lacking, move on to something else. Periodically, review your notes on the first project. And wait for inspiration to return. When determining a project timeline, make sure you slot this time in.

Albert Einstein used his imagination extensively to come us with new ideas.

He would think in images, daydreaming and placing himself in the daydream so he could more fully understand the problem - from the problem's perspective.

Tip: Ask yourself, "If I were a ___, what would I see? What would be important to me?"


Too many of history's legendary innovators to be mentioned, drew pictures when solving a problem. They would draw a picture of the problem and then try and solve it pictorially. Doing this helped them see the problem with a different set of eyes.

Tip: Try drawing a picture of the problem you are trying to solve. Write down whatever comes into your mind, all the time drawing more images to go with those thoughts.

~Labor Day Weekend

~~Labor Day Weekend

Havent posted in awhile. We just returned from a much needed two week vacation on Tablerock Lake.

If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut. Albert Einstein

It felt great escaping from work.

We' all played, laughed.relaxed. and had fun with our friends. We did everything except work.

But I hope you all took a moment over the weekend to give thanks for the work you do.

Your creative work makes a contribution to this small planet. In some small way, each of us contributes our energy, our talent, our skill to making life better, and I suspect that's how God intended it.

It was a three hundred mile trip there and another three hundred back. Half way there at a restroom stop I noticed both trailer tires had lost tread. It was good that I NOTICED it when I did or something really bad could have happened.

We shelled out a few hundred bucks for new tires that we didnt expect to spend but at least we are safe. No use letting it ruin the whole week. We met up with friends of ours and my wifes sister and her husband. This was where I had to keep my mouth shut!

~Why Not Give Yourself An Idea Quota

After a few weeks off for some much needed R and R it is time to get back into the swing of things.

Sometimes one of the best ways to be productive is to just get away from it all. When your mind becomes bogged down trying to think it becomes a chore. Just let go for awhile, you will be amazed at what can happen.

Set yourself an Idea Quota.

Thomas Edison is legendary for his creative output.

By the time of his death, he held 1,093 patents, which is quite a record for any one single individual.

He ensured productivity by giving himself and his co-workers idea quotas.


Edison's own personal idea quota involved coming up with one minor invention every 10 days and a major invention every six months. Isn't that amazing!


Now for most of us it would be a miracle to create just one minor invention in a lifetime.

But we set our targets far too low!

Surely I can come up with at least one idea per day.

Write a book.

Create a Blog article.

Create a website.

Genius grows by the demands placed upon it.

Get motivated and "Give Yourself An Idea Quota"

Force yourself to come up with 50 ideas if you are working alone. If you are part of a team, expand the quota.

Creative types are often the worst in the world for procrastination, and for languishing in their "art".
Forget it!

If you want to be remembered as one of the greats, get your rear in gear
because you've got a lot of catching up to do.

If you want to wear the label "Genius" you need to be prodigious!
Now prodigious means that out of quantity will come quality.

When you are generating ideas, some will be bad. Dont worry over it.

But think of them as stepping-stones to the good ones. If you didn't get the bad ideas, you might not cross over to the "million dollar" ideas.

Edison knew this and was also very cognisant of the fact that bad ideas can combine to form good ones.

"If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Thomas Edison


The more Ideas you can come up with the more chances you will have at coming up with
the winning one.

Albert Einstein is famous for his theory of relativity, but he published 248 other papers.

~ I Am Very Sorry

~ I Am Very Sorry

I am very sorry I have not posted anything in a while… Well not really.

I have been playing in my new boat. I got it two weeks ago.

Once I took it out for a spin I just couldn’t get out of it.

Persistence and Patience Does pay off!

It has been three years since I intended to get one.

Dream until your dreams come true!
Never give up on what you want.
Anything is possible.

There was a time when I thought I would never get one but I released those negative thoughts and stayed focused on my Desire.

Some people say Desires cause suffering.

I disagree; I say Desire is the driving force of us all.
It is the attachment or thought of not obtaining our desires that cause suffering.

Let those thoughts go. Keep focused on what you want no matter how long it takes.

What desires would you like to have come true?

~Generating New Ideas--- A System

Generating New Ideas--- A System

Einstein believed that every new idea is some addition or modification to something that already exists.

So how do you generate new ideas?

You take an old subject, idea or problem and manipulate or change it into something else.

There are nine principle ways you can manipulate a subject.

These are arranged into the SCAMPER System.

You isolate the subject you want to think about and ask the SCAMPER questions to see what new ideas and thoughts emerge.

Think about any subject from improving the paperclip to reorganizing your corporation.

You'll find that ideas start popping up almost involuntarily, as you ask if you can:

S = Substitute something?

C = Combine your subject with something else?

A = Adapt something to your subject?

M = Magnify or modify-add to it or change it in some fashion?

P = Put it to some other use?

E = Eliminate something from it?

R = Rearrange or reverse it?

~Finding Mentors

~Finding Mentors

What is a mentor?

Einstein, Edison and Newton are obvious mentors of mine on this blog.

They are mentors who have passed in this life but we can still learn from them.

The source of the modern use of the word mentor: a trusted friend, counselor or teacher, usually a more experienced person.

Some professions have "mentoring programs" in which newcomers are paired with more experienced people in order to obtain good examples and advice as they advance, and schools sometimes have mentoring programs for new students or students who are having difficulties.

Today mentors provide their expertise to less experienced individuals in order to help them advance their careers, enhance their education, and build their networks. Many of the world's most successful people have benefited from having a mentor.

One of my living mentors is Dr Joe Vitale. I have learned so much in the few months I have been online.

~Persistence

~Persistence

A quality that seems to describe how Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were so successful is persistence.
One of Edison’s new challenges was to develop a better storage battery for use in electric vehicles. Edison very much enjoyed automobiles and owned a number of different types during his life, powered by gasoline, electricity, and steam.
Edison thought that electric propulsion was clearly the best method of powering cars, but realized that conventional lead-acid storage batteries were inadequate for the job.
Edison began to develop an alkaline battery in 1899. It proved to be Edison’s most difficult project, taking ten years to develop a practical alkaline battery.

~Problems

~Problems

“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein

There are only three basic problems in life,

Money, Health, and Relationships.

Every problem relates to these three areas or a combination of them.

By understanding this, we get a much clearer picture of whatwe must do to solve the problem.

1) Break your focus on the problem-
Oftentimes, we are so caught up in the emotions of the problem that we overlooksimple solutions. Disconnecting from the problem also allowsthe most powerful part of our mind, the subconscious, tobegin a massive search for answers. We need to let our conscious mind get out of the way. Manyof the geniuses in the past made great discoveries when theytook a break from the problem.

Thomas Edison by taking naps.

2) Imagine how you would feel if the desired outcome reallyhappened-By projecting yourself into the future and actuallyfeeling the emotions of success, you point your brain intofocusing on the solution and not the problem.

Einstein used his imagination extensively.It has been said that what your mind attends to, iteventually achieves--so if you constantly dwell on yourproblems, you'll get really good at getting more problems.

3) Say thank you and let the problem go-Your act of gratitude signals a conclusion and release. You've let go ofthe problem and all the worries along with it. .When you no longer struggle with the problem, the things youwant seem to come to you effortlessly.
You'll see answers (signs)you've never seen before.
Things will fall into place.

~Imagination

~Imagination

Albert Einstein said that imagination is the greatest creative force. Why would such a great man say something that sounds so silly and trivial? Look at those words again: ‘greatest creative force’. Imagination? Not education? Not money? Not luck?

Imagination is the creative force that allows me to create this blog.

It is the creative force that created the computer you are reading this post on.

It is the creative force that allows us to drive cars, and allows us to fly from one place to another
and even go to the moon.

Imagination is the creative force that has created everything we can see.

Einstein wondered what it would be like to travel along side a wave of light. he discovered that it would be very difficult to do so. He discovered that light moves very fast, at 186,000 miles per second.

That's a lot faster than any vehicle that we have developed can go!

So Albert used his imagination to place himself traveling at that speed, and that is how he discovered relativity.

Creativity and imagination were very important to Albert Einstein. He thought about mass and energy in a new, creative way, and it allowed him to become probably the most famous scientist of this century.

Creativity and imagination are excellent tools for solving problems, and Albert Einstein is an excellent example of this.

Imagination is a very important creative force that leads to your success.

Imagination is the force that takes you to places you have never been.

~Concentration

~Concentration

Concentration ignores everything except that upon which attention is focused.

Newton had an unusual ability to concentrate even at an early age. Often he forgot about the sheep and they wandered away from the farm. One evening during a severe storm, the family worried about the animals and the barn. But Isaac was not interested in the sheep; he was trying to find a way to measure the speed of the wind."

"A phenomenal ability to concentrate protected him against distraction."

Einstein had the same characteristic: "The only hint that the potential genius might be the real Einstein came from his ferocious concentration on the task to be done and his determination that nothing should be allowed to divert him from it."

A great ability to concentrate existed throughout their lives.
Newton always did a thorough job. His endurance, persistence, and attention to minute details were remarkable. He attributed much of his success to staying with a problem until it was finished.
At one time he wrote 18 drafts of a report before accepting one as final, although the last version did not differ much from the others."


Einstein could sit by the hour and watch an ant colony at work. His concentration could be maintained almost indefinitely. As a young boy he was given a compass. He was enchanted to find that the compass needle always pointed in one direction and played with it for weeks.

~Spare time

~Spare time

Albert Einstein was completely exhausted.

For the third night in a row, his baby son Hans, crying, kept the household awake until dawn. When Albert finally dozed off … it was time to get up and go to work.

He couldn't skip a day. He needed his job at the patent office to support his young family.

Walking briskly to the Patent Office, where he was a "Technical Expert, Third Class," Albert worried about his mother. She was getting older and frail, and she didn't approve of his marriage to Mileva.

Relations were strained.

Albert glanced at a passing shop window. His hair was a mess; he had forgotten to comb it again.
Work. Family. Making ends meet. Albert felt all the pressure and responsibility of any young husband and father.

In 1905, at the age of 26 and four years before he was able to get a job as a professor of physics, Einstein published five of the most important papers in the history of science--all written in his "spare time."

You’re working that crummy low paying job…

You’re working so hard all you want to do is sleep…

You want to call in but you cant afford to…

The kids are getting on your nerves…

Money problems are causing friction between you and your wife…

And your mother isn’t helping matters much…

What are you doing in your spare time?
Watching TV, surfing the web, drinking beer, talking on the phone…

Einstein wrote papers on Relativity.

You could write a book, build a website, and create a blog.
Heck maybe someday somebody will actually read the darn thing…

~Failure? There’s A Way!

~Failure? There’s A Way!

Nearly everyone has heard that Thomas Edison failed hundreds of times while trying to invent the electric light bulb. Those who did not know how to convert failure into success simply said the electric light bulb will never work.

However, those who asserted that the light bulb was not possible missed a chance for great wealth. Thomas Edison, by contrast, knew that his problems and failures would lead him to his success.

He used his failures to isolate what he needed to know. He persevered despite countless problems and obstacles, and eventually lit up the world. Yes, Thomas Edison became a very wealthy man as he used his failures to bring him--and everyone else--great success

Einstein said, “I think and think for months and year. Ninety-nine times the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.”

Edison and Einstein were perfect examples. Both were called geniuses, but neither one liked that title. Remember, it was Edison himself who gave us that famous definition of genius: "One percent inspiration and 99% perspiration."

The problem with too many people today is that they're not willing to perspire long enough, if at all.

They want their success instantly, but it rarely comes that way. We have to be willing to fail first.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."--Thomas A. Edison

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."--Thomas A. Edison

~What Will You Be Remembered By

~While using the technique discussed in the previous post I had one of those moments!
So I am writing it down!

Everyone knows Edison for his perfection of the light bulb and his thousands of patents.

Everyone knows Einstein for his theory of Relativity and his incredible good looks.

Everyone knows Newton for his Discovery of gravity and the three laws of motion.

That put me to thinking…

There are things I must be aware of in creating this blog.

Sometimes people remember you for the good that you do.

Sometimes people remember you for the bad that you do.

Sometimes people remember you for your looks.

Sometimes people remember you for your honesty.

Sometimes people remember you for your friendship.

Sometimes people remember you for your contributions.

Sometimes people remember you for your kindness.

Sometimes people remember you for your patients.

Sometimes people remember you for your respect.

Sometimes people remember you for your actions.

~Power Napping

~Edison used power napping to catch up on much-needed rest and to give his phenomenal brain a break from conscious effort, allowing his unconscious processes to do the genius thinking for him.

Let's see how that worked...

During his day, Edison would take time out by himself and relax in a chair or on a sofa.

Invariably he would be working on a new invention and seeking creative solutions to the problem he was dealing with. He knew that if he could get into that "twilight state" between being awake and being asleep, he could access the pure creative genius of his subconscious mind.

To prevent himself from crossing all the way over the "genius gap" into deep sleep, he would nap with his hand propped up on his elbow while he clutched a handful of ball-bearings. Then he would just drift off to sleep, knowing that his subconscious mind would take up the challenge of his problem and provide a solution. As soon as he went into too deep a sleep, his hand would drop and the ball-bearings would spill noisily on the floor, waking him up again. He'd then write down whatever was in his mind.

Sometimes I feel as though I just can not get enough sleep so I use this technique when I need to catch up on some rest and get new ideas for the blog. There is a power of giving a problem to the subconscious mind and having it solve it for you. Dont forget the pen and paper!

Write everything down no matter how silly it sounds. Sooner or later you will find a place for what came to you.

~My First Blunders

~My First Blunders

One of the first blunders or mistakes I have made was right from the start when I created the blog.

I titled the blog soeeae.blogspot.com the initials were to represent the "serets of edison, einstein and newton". The mistake was the E at the end of soeeae instead of an N. So I decided to name the blog threegenius.blogspot.com. I thought it sounded better.

I am quite sure at this point in time no one really noticed. I dont know if it will have any impact on search engines but I hope in the long run it will work out for the better.

Sometimes I find myself trying to put the cart before the horse.

The next thing that came to mind was that I was trying to hide my mistakes. I have decided to log them. Everyone makes mistakes.

You have to know what your mistakes are before you can learn from and change them.

The next issue is when I have to correct my mistakes it takes up more of my time. Which at this point I have very little.

There are only two things you can do with your time:
spend it or invest it.

Use it being productive or its gone forever.

But the key word here is "productivity."

~Everyone Has Obstacles-Disabilities

~Everyone Has Obstacles-Disabilities

Consider this: Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old and could not read until he was seven years old. Even as an adult Einstein found that searching for words was laborious. He found school work, especially math, difficult and was unable to express himself in written language.

He was thought to be simple minded (retarded), until it was realized that he was able to achieve by visualizing rather than by the use of language.

Thomas Edison’s teachers told him he was too stupid to learn anything.

Sir Isaac Newton did poorly in grade school. and was thought to have what we call today ADD.(Attention Deficit Disorder).

Around the age of twelve, Edison lost almost all his hearing. There are several theories as to what caused his hearing loss. Some attribute it to the aftereffects of scarlet fever which he had as a child. Others blame it on a conductor boxing his ears after Edison caused a fire in the baggage car, an incident which Edison claimed never happened.Edison himself blamed it on an incident in which he was grabbed by his ears and lifted to a train. He did not let his disability discourage him, however, and often treated it as an asset, since it made it easier for him to concentrate on his experiments and research.~ Don't let obstacles deter you. If you hit a wall, use your creativity and imagination to dissolve it.When Isaac Newton reached an impasse in his work because the existing mathematics were inadequate, he created calculus.All of us have some sort of obstacle or disability. How do you wish to use yours, as an asset or liability?

~Keepin It Simple

~Keepin It Simple

"The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means, and the exercise of ordinary qualities."

Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible.”
One of the ways Einstein made things simple was to play.

Great results cannot be achieved all at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

Rome was not built in a day.

Learning HOW TO WAIT is a great secret of success.

" We must sow before we can reap, and often have to wait long".

A giant redwood tree takes hundreds of years to mature.

The fruit best worth waiting for often ripening the slowest.

To wait patiently, however, men must work cheerfully.

Cheerfulness and play is an excellent working quality, imparting great elasticity to the character.

Cheerfulness and diligence are nine-tenths of practical wisdom. They are the life and soul of success, as well as of happiness; perhaps the very highest pleasure in life consisting in clear, brisk, conscious working; energy, confidence, and every other good quality mainly depending upon it.

If we are not cheerful and playful about our work it eventually shows.

When you cheerfully do work you are more likely to do your best.

When you are playful work is not a chore, it is a pleasure.

When your work is based on something that you are naturally interested in you are naturally
motivated to spend as much time working on it as possible-and far more driven to make it a huge success!

"All these constructions and the laws connecting them can be arrived at by the principle of looking for the mathematically simplest concepts and then link between them."--Albert Einstein

Scientist have observed that when lightning strikes it takes the shortest path and
that water rolling down hill (gravity) seeks the steepest decent, the quickest way down.

~Accomplishments

Einstein:

Physics and math teacher.SpeakerHollywood star"father of atomic energy,"Einstein wrote many theoretical papers on the topic of physics.

In 1905, Einstein examined Max Plancks phenomenon about electromagnetic theory. He used this hypothesis to explain electromagnetic radiation and the photoelectric effect.

In 1911, Einstein became a professor at Karl-Ferdinand University in Prague, and in 1912, Einstein started his research on gravitational forces and called it the General Theory of Relativity.

In 1921, Einsttein recieved a Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect from 1905.

It was June 1905 when Einstein published his breakthrough theory on the relativity of time and space. Later in September, Einstein unveiled his famous theory, e=mc squared, or energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.

He had supreme self-confidence in his ability to sniff out the true nature of the world, and he did that not by experiment, but just by thought, by pure thought.

He did this wonderful thing called the Gedanken experiment, which from the German translates to "thought" experiment. And if he needed an experiment, he would imagine it, very cheap form of experiment. But he would just imagine, like an elevator falling through space with its cable cut, and imagine what happened if you did an experiment inside that freely falling elevator.

Edison:

Edison published and printed his own newspaper he invented and patented the electric vote recorder. His search for new telegraphic applications allowed him to start a service delivering financial news to brokerages.Edison invented the universal stock tickerHe opened a laboratory and factory in Newark.
He invented the motograph and automatic telegraph system. He also invented the duplex and multiplex telegraph systems. Not only that, he also invented wax paper and the carbon rheostat.Edison invented the electric pen used for the first mimeographs. The next year he improved the mimeograph machinehe did invent a speaker diaphragm improvement to the device in 1877, at age 30. His device made the telephone commercially practical.That same year, Edison invented the phonograph. He used an electromagnetic powered needle to scratch a waveform in a wax cylinder. For his test recording, he recited the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb" into a speaker diaphragm he had invented for the telephone.Then by rotating the wax cylinder at the same speed that was used to make the recording, the vibration of the needle now created an electrical current through the electromagnet, resulting in sound coming from a speaker.perfected the incandescent lampHe also invented the Edison dynamo—his version of a device for creating a steady supply of direct current (DC) electricity. Along with his engineers, Edison developed a system of distribution and regulation of electric current.invented the magnetic ore separator and discovered the "Edison Effect"Edison General Electric Company o=\pened the first electric power station in New York City.developed a wireless induction telegraph systeminvented the motion picture camera.Edison created an electric chairhe invented the fluoroscope, which photographs x-rays. That same year, he also invented the fluorescent electric lampinvented the nickel-iron-alkaline storage batterystarted the Edison Portland Cement Companyhad invented the phonographhe invented the electric safety miner's lamp. His laboratory also discovered the process for making synthetic carbolic acid,

Newton:

Newton's accomplishments in life were many. Generally, he devoted much of his energy towards alchemy, theology, and history.

In 1668, Newton built the first reflecting telescope. During his lifetime he was involved in the development of calculus. It was Newton who struck upon the laws of motion and the law of gravitation. He sat in parliament, 1689-90. In 1696, he was appointed warden of the Mint; and then, in 1699, he was appointed the master of the Mint, a position which he held until his death. He sat again in parliament in 1701 for his university. In 1703, Newton was to become the president of the Royal Society, another post that he held at his death. In 1705, Newton was knighted by Queen Anne.

~Research

~Research

“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it”?
Albert Einstein"

What is research?"

Research is about finding out.

It is about searching systematically for solutions to problems.

It is about rules to guide your search.
It is also about helping you to evaluate the research of others.

The term "research" has several meanings:

Research is a systematic, formal rigorous and precise process employed to gain solutions to problems and/or to discover and interpret new facts and relationships.

Research is the process of looking for a specific answer to a specific question in an organized objective reliable way.

Research is systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomena

2. Purposes of researchThe function of research is to either create or test a theory.

Research is the instrument used to test whether a theory is good or not.
It is the process by which data is gathered to generate a theory or used to test a theory.

There are different ways of conducting research. However any method you use will be based on the systematic collection and analysis of data. The emphasis here is on the word systematic.

This means you have to collect your data in an ordered manner, with a purpose in mind, and following certain rules about your mode of collection.



I did some research at the Library and bought a couple of books at the book store.
I will begin this blog starting by evaluating some quotes that I find to be very helpful.

Next I will doccument the accomplishments of the Three Scientist.

~The Theory

~The Theory

Einstein always said that the ultimate test of theory was success in explaining experimental results. But ultimately he realized that first you need a theory to know what experiments to perform.

Theory:
Anyone can use the success strategies of Edison, Einstein and Newton to Achieve a goal or desire.

What if we could change our life for the better by understanding a few simple rules that three of the greatest men known to history knew and used in only a few short weeks?

And what if I told you all three of these great men wholeheartedly admitted that they did not believe they were any more of a Genius than you or I?

And that there were just a few basic set of rules that they followed that created their success.

At the end of just a few short weeks you will see your life through a different set of eyes. You will feel empowered. You will realize without a doubt that you can overcome any and all obstacles that may arise if you simply follow the simple principles outlined below along with faith, persistence and patience.



Now that I have my theory, my goal or my desire to accomplish something, my curiosity to discover an unknown effect. That being to create a blog to discover, use and share success strategies of Edison Einstein and Newton . To make use of these strategies in creating a successful blog.

What is my definition of successful?

1 To help others become successful.
2 An interactive blog , high ranking, loaded with comments, success traits posts and linkbacks.

Therefore I think my next plan of action is to do some research.

~The Experiment

~The Experiment

1 a: TEST, TRIAL b: a tentative procedure or policy c: an operation carried out under controlled conditions in order to discover an unknown effect or law, to test or establish a hypothesis, or to illustrate a known law 2 obsolete: EXPERIENCE 3: the process of testing: EXPERIMENTATION


This Blog is an Experiment!

The Experiment:

My Intentions are to seek out, Discover and Use the Success Strategies and Secrets of Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Sir Isaac Newton to create a successful blog and or website.

I intend to use these Success Strategies for myself and then pass them along to you the reader.

I also intend to prove these same Success Straegies may be used on any goal or desire you may wish to obtain.

Key steps you’ll need to follow to get accurate data you can really use.

Following are the steps you take while doing your project.

Gather Background Information:

Gather information about your topic from books, magazines, the Internet, people and companies.

Keep notes about where you got your info.

Scientific MethodState the Purpose of your experiment - What are you trying to find out?

Select a variable (something you will change/vary) that will help you find your answer.

State your Hypothesis - your guess about what the answer will be.

Decide on and describe how you will change the variable you selected.

Decide on and describe how you will measure your results.

Run Controlled Experiment and Record Data:

Do the experiment as described above.Keep notes in one place.

Write down everything you can think of, you might need it later.



I Realize some of you fellow bloggers are already aware of certain success strategies and are much more proficient at writing than I but please be patient.
Feel free to join in.

My intentions are to write to the novice in a simple, practical and concise way that anyone may understand.

This is an open blog so I would appreciate any comments or contributions, good or bad as long as they are not rude or do not contribute to this blog in certain mannerisms.

If it helps you post a comment... if it doesn’t post a comment. If you have a success strategy post it.

I have three basic tools that I intend to use throughout the process.
A computer, a digital voice recorder, a journal and a Free Blog.

My biggest disadvantages at this point are:
Little knowledge of Blogging.
A limited experience on the internet.
Time and Energy.
I hope to overcome these very soon!

Life is nothing more than a series of experiments that you are given.
Until you figure out the outcome or conquer an experiment you will receive the same experiment over and over again.

Sounds kind of like your life does it not?

Every failure is simply an Experiment. Experiments are set up to see what results occur and to learn from doing them.

If Einstein Had A Blog

Einstein’s Blog

If Einstein was to use his imagination ("Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world") to create a blog these days he would probably keep it simple.

He felt "everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler".

He would ponder a lot about how God would do a blog. He "wanted to know all of Gods thoughts: and once he figured them out the rest would be details".

Finally he would come to this conclusion,"God always takes the simplest way".

But what on earth would he write about?

He probably would not do a blog on Reality because "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”!

Although he may explain how reality is just an illusion.

Reality isn’t that tough a subject, after all "a table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy"?

“I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind”.

Maybe he would do an article on gravity. No gravity was already done by an already famous blogger named Sir Isaac Newton.

Well perhaps he could improve on the gravity thing.

His blog should be on something he really knows something about; maybe Science would be a good thing to write about.

Einstein knew about science, but what the heck does he know about web blogging?

It may be time to do some research.

"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it"?

But what if he made mistakes doing a blog?

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new”.

Any advice on blogging Mr Einstein?

"Do not worry about your difficulties on blogging, I can assure you mine are still greater".

If his blog theories were not working or getting the results he wanted he would simpy change them.

"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts".

He wouldn't let it get to him. He wouldn't go insane over it. He wouldn't keep doing the same thing again and again.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

Ultimately Einstein realized that first you need a theory or an idea to know what to write about. So what theory or idea is Mr. Einstein going to write about?

What if he were to have problems coming up with an idea?

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it".

So Mr. Einstein would probably take a break and go try to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.

Once his mind had cleared he came to this conclusion:

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile".

"One who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person".

” Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value”.

Now that he has an idea he would probably get to work on his blog. He would work on his blog day and night because he knew no meaning of Time.
When he wasn’t working on it day and night he would work on it in his spare time too.

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once”.
Time was an Illusion for Einstein too so he would probably get his blog finished within a year, and a miracle year it would be!

Top Ten Things I Do To Be Successful

Top Ten Things I Do Every Day To Be Successful

1. I read Joe Vitale's Blog at http://www.mrfire.blogspot.com/
every day.

The first post for today was "Top Ten Things I Do To Be Successful Every Day" as always, I was interested so I read on.

Joe went on to say" Aaron Potts started a great Internet experiment called “Simply Successful Secrets”.He invited bloggers to write a post about the 5-10 things they do most days (at least 4-5 days a week) that help them be successful.

Participating bloggers then "tag" other bloggers, inviting them to contribute to the experiment, revealing their own secrets to success.

Each blog post is linked back to Aaron’s original post and to the person who tagged them." Which brings me to number

2. I am always "conscious" of ways to be more successful, so I made a conscious decision to act and join in.

3. I am always "conscious" of how I can help other people.

4. I go outside, close my eyes, take a deep breath and connect with the sounds of Nature for about fifteen minuets.

5. Check all email from many different sources. Key do not spend too much time on email there is so much more to do.

6. I carry a digital recorder everywhere I go. Ideas come no matter where you are or what your doing.

7. I work on websites and blog entries at least eighteen hours a day.

8. Spend Time with my lovely Wife and all of my animals. The all love me dearly and I appreciate them and make Time for them.

9. Meditate one half an hour twice a day.

10. Say Hi to at least one new person everyday.

So there you have it.
We are all one so join in. Please link back here and on Joe and Aarons site. Together we can make it happen.


"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security",
1950 Albert Einstein
