"9. WILLINGNESS TO TAKE CHANCES. Overcome your fear of failure. You won’t be afraid to take chances once you realize you can learn from your mistakes." - Dr. Alfred Barrious Self-Programmed Control Center of Los Angeles
Is it okay to breakout from a routine life on a gamble that something new and dear to one's heart is worth going for? Arising from this is the question of responsibility lest one give up all visible means of support and end up in bankruptcy or headed for living on the street. Yet being a genius requires that one take chances.
Fear blinds willingness. Giving importance to considerations that you have failed at something will barrier your own reach. Drop it. Worse yet, giving credence to someone else's nay saying will balk your plans. Let it go. If you failed to persist you failed. You don't have to make that mistake again.
Leveraging extends your means. Knowing that you have or can access wherewithal for attainment is a monitoring factor. Any new activity will run some distance in the red. The start up time will vary greatly from on activity to another. Leveraging can be enlisting help or funds. Having confidence in your abilities will allow you to approach others and sell yourself and your idea for resources that will extend the reach of your activity.
The unforeseen will always require adjustments along the way. Educating yourself eliminates a lot of trial and error. Even still ones best prediction can run amuck with unforeseen. Be of a mind to solve problems and not be stymied by them. You have to be willing to shift gears and change the program. When a program doesn't run quickly find out why and tweek it. You may have to examine altogether different alternative approaches.
To do what will is likely to be more successful requires a new idea of brilliance. The stroke or brilliance from this may come as simply as researching the area of the problem in Wikipedia. Looking up the related words in a dictionary to get a conceptual understand of each is bound to brighten one up. A different mode of marketing or means of manufacturing will be apparent when you search the available opportunities. New materials, new means, whatever it is, search and you will find a solution. When the light turns on roll with it.
Learn from your mistakes. If something hasn't worked ask why and make a record of that in a journal or research papers. If you had to do it again what would have eased it into fruition.
Learn from others mistakes. When someone else can't make an activity work get an understanding from this. Following bad or over-hyped advices can find oneself falling short of the promised expectations. Altering or failing to apply a proven program sets one up for failed results but where the heralded path has not been a success don't follow it over the ledge.
Being different, unique or exceptional goes with the territory. Why not be the one to come out with a completely new idea or set a new record. No one monopolizes that capability of the mind, that life force that pervades the universe and provides innovation and accomplishment.
Will you make it? Be an achiever and you will. Have or develop and practice the attitude that you can. All is possible to the person who believes so.
Persistence begets arrival. When you give up trying you guarantee you won't arrive. One person pursuing a mine dig stopped 3 feet from a gold vein while the next person to take over the claim found one of the greatest gold finds ever. Don't stop short because of weak conviction in what you know to be true.
Timing can make all the difference. Coffee shops was a time who has come for Starbucks. The predominance of street coffee vendors indicated the location of the Northwest was a market ready to be tapped. Finding other areas ready for such an idea allowed Starbucks to expand all over world one shop at a time. Timing is filling a vacuum that exists now or somewhere. Exercise your ability to spot untapped areas by, just for fun, contemplating this and noting your finds in your notebook.
Assume willingness. This is an attitude or frame of mind you gain by assumption. Assume that you have this quality. Disagree with failure. Disagree with anyone who tries to advise you to be less, do less, or have less. If you don't take chances, if you limit yourself to the normal rather than the exceptional. Step out and be a genuis.
Do you think you have something it is time to go for? Why is that so? Is it an opportunity whose time has come? I'd like to hear from you about you thoughts on this.

Support Wikipedia
by Robert L. Gisel
Following up on a special message from the Founder of Wikipedia he asked what does Wikipedia mean to me. A poignant question that.
What is it? How does it work? What is it made of? Who is he? How many times have I had find out. I can always learn it at Wikipedia. Simple, to the point, I get what I need to know quickly.
I'm very willing to support Wikipedia as Wikipedia has very willingly supported me. Creative breakthroughs of magnitude have come to me in flashes of inspiration while using Wikipedia, so I can't praise it enough.
When you clear the meaning of words, get an understanding of the nomenclature, genius swells. Quite factually this fundamental learning releases intelligence.
Clearing up words related to Buckminister Fuller's Geodesic Dome a bright idea came to me and I found myself inventing a take off from Fuller's technology with a revolutionary architectural concept.
Doing an R&D on an electric vehicle invention I was following up the Wikipedia discourse and links regarding a mineral for an unique battery application something flashed on a technical parameter. I found myself on a wholly new R&D for another invention that just came to me, just reading Wikipedia. Now I am inventing a revolutionary new engine.
By the way, Wiktionary saved me a great deal of befuddlement when they posted the definition of Sarah Palin's "refudiate". I'm so glad we got that straight.
Since is Wikipedia is free and without advertising, and it is so valuable a source of knowledge, I gladly donate to it. Won't you?

Working for Your Own Dreams
by Robert L. Gisel
The whole essence of the 24 Qualities That Geniuses Have In Common is that when you bring out the best in yourself you can step out from mundane expectancies of life and live the adventures of your dreams. How well you do that has everything to do with how well you get your ducks in a row to meet the challenge.
In Sustainable Life Vs Enjoyable Sustenance I advise against full out abandonment of an income source into a dearth of no income or support. The other side of that is that you could land in Philadelphia with nothing but a few coins in your pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm and end up a renown author and philosopher. Benjamin Franklin did it, but not without visions of enterprise already jelling in the think tank.
A brilliant idea merits a brilliant plan of execution and positioning. It is often born out in your first flash of genius on the subject, where the creation first incubates. When you start to roll out an idea don't stop because the sun goes down or the clock says it is time for bed. Take it as far you can and document it. Write it, draw it, outline it even in vignette, place it in the physical universe where doesn't get lost because you later forget it in whole or in part.
For an invention you would want to encapsulate the idea from the need that it fulfills, and for whom, and even what would you call it that elicits a creative image of the thing. Consider how it would be built and marketed or the kind of expert that could be brought in to handle those aspects. You may only need to consider its possibilities, that it can be done.
You can always outsource or insource the details the way Henry Ford did. He didn't know how to build a V-6 engine, he only envisioned that it could be done to advantage, then demanded his staff experts do it until after many times of failure and repeated demand it was done. The dream was the most valuable piece of the engine.
A new business idea may be simply filling a vacuum in an absent market where the need and demand by lots of people provides a huge potential. Starbucks fulfilled coffee drinkers desire for specialty coffee in a fast-food format and then reached out with that to its market potential around the world.
Plan It Out
From initial thought to realization the key is to think it through.
The incredible advantage we have today is you can Google anything. You can rapidly learn what you need to know. Aside from that there are libraries, schools, texts, colleges and people more that willing to help you understand an area that fits any piece of the puzzle. These are the details of R&D, though. Before that you have to plan out where the idea is headed.
You can list the steps forward one to the next, say, each step of establishment of a facility to deliver a popular fast-food hamburger that could be duplicated in many locations, eg, MacDonald's. It might be more appropriate step if backwards from the final result, as in Edison's dream of electric lighting in every household.
Go back over it and think it through from different angles. For instance, there is the financial considerations. What will it cost, what could it be sold for, how does that compare with similar things, is there even anything like this extant, and if so, how does this differ. To pull it off can it be done on a shoestring, leveraging monies and resources as you make your way. How much development or establishment will it take? Will it require financing? If that, who would have an interest in backing your project?
It is your bright idea, you are the Granddaddy of it, get familiar with all its facets that you can answer questions on any of it or know what expertise could work it out. You only have to believe it is possible, even if all the mechanics are not yet worked out.
Breaking Out
At some point you will have the confidence of your particular grand scheme. You are source, and none know a dream or have a better feel for it than its dreamer. That is infinitely valuable, yet there is another ace in the hole.
When you have assured belief in something and take action towards it all manner of solutions, help and practical assistance will materialize. Doing nothing is as dormant as a dead log. When you set out and do, resources will appear. That is just the way it works. The key is do something, take any action, however small, towards the dream and the universe will align to help you achieve the dream.
Your decision accompanied with your doingness, fueled by your desired will part part the waters in sometimes the most uncanny ways. Remember that formula: decision, doingness and desire.
With all that said, you could well find yourself in a position to quit your job, cast all abandon to the wind and launch your ship into the unknown. Be unshakable in your resolve and practical in your ability without kowtowing to the naysayers, and then why not go where no man has gone.
Do it for the love of life.

Sustainable Life Vs Enjoyable Sustenance
by Robert L. Gisel
“vital (vit'l) adj.
1.Of or characteristic of life: vital processes.
2. Necessary to the continuance of life; life sustaining: vital functions...”
Having money, a regular and predictable income of, is necessary and even vital to one's life. That goes without saying, until it comes to leaping off a regular job into a new activity.
For the establishing entrepreneur, the self employed, the artist, the innovator, this may seem unfortunate or inopportune. Even the most worthy of non-profit organizations require an an input to its finances and more so to its start-up phase. Whether it begins with one's own stash of funds, pay-as-you-go cash flow funding, OPM (other people's money), a line of credit, venture capital, even charity or good will there will will be money involved.
It has been proposed on several blog sites that working at a “day job” just for money and particularly where this does not fulfill one's dreams and desires for happiness is a dead-end road. Yet without the vital regular income to keep putting food on the table one cannot live at all. Witness the homeless bum with his hand out.
Money is an energy and energy is required for any motion or activity. Whether it comes in Dollars, Pounds, Yen, gold, uranium or a carton of eggs there has to be an exchangeable value. This is what motors the world. That's our universe.
Unlimited excesses and huge abundances of capital supposes far more funds than could be consumed in the next great project. Unless you have already produced such or inherited it you are still left with the searing question: how much money do you have to have in order to acquire a world of freedom and joy where having enough money is no longer even a passing consideration?
The answer to this varies condiderably as each person's desires and circumstances are individual. Once a hypotheses of mine that there could be a set formula for funding requirements for an initial business activity, I was expecting a neat and handy service for business consulting. But the period in the red is different for each business. Not accounting for enough time in the red can be the death toll of a new activity. Just witness this factor in the high rate of new business failures.
So if you don't want to be a slave to an employment only tolerated lest you go homeless or starve, what do you do?
Be a deaf, dumb, blind kid that sure plays a mean pinball.
I joke, but seriously, it has truth to it: you have to be a wizard at something. In some way you have to create a phenomenal proposition.
You don't have to a demi-god but you do have to propose something exceptional. If not, you can learn and learn well enough to set your something apart from other somethings. Short of that you can always piggy-back onto the genius of others and find a unique or overlooked zone to franchise another's already created wealth builder.
Find the uniqueness of what you love to do. What makes it different? What lights your bells and makes you feel alive? What is all-out fun for you? That you should contemplate how to do for a living, and program out the steps to get there. The simpler and more direct the approach the better.
If it is a dream worth having it is a dream worth going for for all it is worth.
Time versus money.
Could you live on $10,000? $10,000 a year? Only if you can live on $833 a month.
It is said that you should have enough in reserves to cover your expenses for 6 months in case you lose your job. Six months might not be enough. Where it takes longer to get a job or the income you are expecting to make takes longer you'll need more reserves. Still, ruthlessly taking a percent off the top of every paycheck and setting aside to build such reserves, well aside where you are not tempted to spend it, is a good plan. Create a cushion for your future.
Bills will come in, rent needs to be paid and you must have money for food and the routine costs of living, weekly or monthly. You can spend less, but only to a point. Nice-to-have expenses can be foregone but not essentials. Sustainable life happens when you have adequately more income than the monies that must go out.
There are ways to establish a side income or residuals that do come in timely enough to keep the monthly expenses covered. Then following ones dreams is not only feasible but lends happiness in the doing. Working for yourself at what you love is very fulfilling. Keep plotting at that until you achieve success.
Do that well and you will win the hundred yards. But don't give up your "day job" until there's sufficient money to sustain yourself while the main game catches up. Living on the street might be adventurous, but it isn't fun.

How To Proximate Genius Thought
by Robert L. Gisel
The mechanical way to mental genius is said the to be the act of entrainment (synchronization). The big question is, which comes first, the chicken or the egg.
One definition in Wikipedia is thus: Brainwave entrainment, the practice of entraining one's brainwaves to a desired frequency.
Scientific research on this by Dutchman Christian Huygens in the 17th century is now called "brainwave entrainment", "whole brain synchronisation", "Psychonautics", meditation and so on and so forth. Today's focus on this sector is through, or as, Neurology. Herein enters the chicken or the egg question. Mental function, or brainwaves; which is cause?
The Neurology line labels the wavelengths immolating from brain function as Alpha, Beta, Theta and Delta as determined by their respective hertz bands. The idea, then, is to induce the wavelength and voila! you get the genius thought of Theta waves. Enter Huey Louis singing "I want a new drug...".
You can crash a computer's functioning by many clicks on the same button command, but it takes an intelligent person to do this, or stupid person as the case may be. The structure of the the computer only responds to the live command given it in the outset by a living being.
Mental function is life force. The elan vital, the soul, the spirit, free thought, call it what you will. It's you, the being, that which is alive.
More important it is you, the energy production unit. Herein lies the key.
Not much energy comes out of a body that is tired and hungry. But then, you are not your body. You are an independent spiritual being. If you have become dependent on the body, think you are the body, these may obfuscate the issue. That's okay, it's politically correct -- politicians do this all the time (joke).
Energy production requires only a base holding two poles in proximity and a difference of potential, whereby you can connect the poles and a an energy flow occurs. That you, the energy production unit, can do this is a different view.
The proof is empirical in a simple test you can perform anytime. Position yourself in front of an object about one foot away from your eyes. Focus on a dot on the object. Get the idea of connecting to the object, from where you are viewing to the object, like a continuous rod. Do this until you sort of "feel" the connection. Then drop it. Just get the idea there is no connection. Then put it back, the energy beam that connects to the object. Drop it, put it back, keep that up, back and forth. You'll find this starts to alternate faster. Go with it. After some bit of this you will experience a buildup of energy. You will feel an energetic state of being. The environment will glitter alive with energy. You have just created, out of nowhere, alternating energy.
If one were to measure the hertz of the brain waves at this point one should find the finer wavelengths associated with genius thinking.
It wasn't your brain connected to the object. That's you, and that's an actual energy beam that you created, essentially out of thought. The best discourse of this is in a book Scientology 8-80 by L. Ron Hubbard where he discusses theta and energy production. This is the object of the elusive and failed "perpetual motion machine" searches. We didn't come from matter. Matter and energy came from us. Thus came the chicken and the egg.
Try the exercise above. Then let me know what your experience is with this.
