SME's should be Logically Conservative...

With Gratitude to Mr. Spock, 1st Officer Star Trek, I learned the word "logic" from him when I was fairly young. He left an impression on a curious young mind and the word and its meaning has stuck with me since and as a result I have experienced a state of mind which I might never have been at ease with. This clarity from thinking logically has helped me during my lifetime of decision making.

Logic is a Hard Master, it allows you to choose to do or not to do its bidding based on your goals and intent. It is relentless and never will allow you any latitude because 1+1 cannot be anything but 2. Any other interpretation of math towards a different result is not logical. Logic Is.

Logic has everything to do with success. You may need emotion to win but you need logic to decide how to go about it. Along with Logic comes Introspection, an analysis of your goals and their validity. This brings clarity to the Vision which is the first step towards choosing a successful path to achieve.

The problem is that most of us do not have the courage to look upon our own-selves with neutral insight. We are usually biased because we do not want to accept our shortcomings. We have many excuses in our inner locker to use and become complacent. This is one of the foremost causes towards failure.

A few have the strength to Introspect and come to terms with their failings. Most of us live in the illusion that we are right and others wrong.

Introspection & Thinking are the way to go, making an assumption is not, although it is the easier way out. Facts are not easy to see and even harder to digest.

The former allows for success and the later self destruction.

Unless one deliberates and comes to a logical conclusion that is as pure as can be without getting cluttered with anything that concerns emotion or ego - one is not thinking but reacting to impulse.

Remember - all action has consequences, non action too. Consider the consequence of impulsive action under the influence of emotion.

Acting upon a thought out plan requires planning, wisdom, courage, control, enthusiasm to move ahead which requires clarity in the thinking process - prima facie using logic. It's tough but possible!

The world is in a downward spiral due to those whom refuse to think and do not understand any decision followed by choice of action - right or wrong, good or bad, white or black will inadvertently rebound at some point on themselves.

We are part of one world and cannot insulate ourselves from the result of our own action in most cases and I am not talking about Karma.

So consider with gravity and responsibility your decision and choice before you act upon it and unleash upon the world and yourself any undesirable event.

Your decision holds the key to your own elevation or fall.

Most entrepreneurs, individuals carry a burden driven more by emotion rather than logic. Their goals are based on a need for retribution rather than success, growth or evolution. That is a sure path to disaster. Borrowing for flamboyance, spending beyond what your cash flow allows, business survival for profits even when you realize it's not going to work and such other actions can only lead to a much bigger fall later than sooner. It's better to take hard calls by logically assessing your position unless you believe in the very core of yourself that you will succeed and the business is good and can grow.

Many see the endpoint of success as money but it's just not that. The endpoint is money with success that comes along with peace of mind and happiness -not fear or worry.

You may be right if you think in another way, a different perspective - maybe but then you could well be wrong.

What do you think?

Think. Ponder. Introspect. Plan. Consider the implications of your Action. Act afterwards!
