Recently a gentleman in an Online Forum Think Tank who was a spiritual type person told the group that we were all dummies because we could not understand infinity. Some in the group were taken a back Charlie McAvoy Bruins Jersey , as they had no problem with the concept of infinity at all. He said he had become enlightened and that he understood infinity but that most all humans could not understand it and therefore had tiny finite minds and were stupid. In fact he went on to say that Einstein, Newton and many others were stupid too and had finite minds and were un-enlightened.


The self-proclaimed enlightened on said: ?This is the problem! They have been chasing their tails. A finite mind can't understand infinity.?


Indeed, he makes an interesting discussion however I disagree entirely. Infinite is not so hard to comprehend although many wish to tell the masses they cannot understand it to get them to stop asking questions of the so-called experts who really do not know what they are talking about for the most part. In fact I bet once humans are told how it all works that they will indeed be able to teach it to a child in the second grade, I am sure of it. For someone to say that a finite mind cannot understand something Torey Krug Bruins Jersey , they need to speak to themselves for the problematic issues arrive and stay with them, not I.


How about you, can you understand infinity? Do you believe the Cosmos are infinite? Is it possible for you to describe it? Would you know it if you saw it? Have you ever thought about it? Think on this in 2006.

eople to grow and learn, but why not concentrate on their strengths? I have read nothing that tells me Tiger Woods spends a great deal of time throwing baseballs so that he can be a better Major League contender. Instead of using his talents and energies where they don't belong David Krejci Bruins Jersey , he uses his training time to become better at the game that he already dominates. Granted, there are parts of his game that are better than others, but he sticks with what he's good at. We know these truths from sports and nature, but we continue to do that which is counter-intuitive in business. It doesn't work in other arenas Danton Heinen Bruins Jersey , and it won't work in your company either.


Finally, bosses frequently make the mistake of giving the squeaky wheel all the grease. Troublemakers, average or below average performers, and malcontents seem to siphon a disproportionate amount of the boss's energy and attention. In essence Jaroslav Halak Bruins Jersey , you are rewarding bad behavior by giving your attention to those who are doing things that you don't want, and you are denying your attention to the ones who deserve it. Conclusion


Knowing your people and spotlighting each person's strengths will help you do your part to build an organization that can help each individual play to strengths and discover ways to consistently deliver perfect or nearly perfect performance. The high potentials in your group are the ones who will get the job done and take the organization to the next level of success. If you can help these people discover their assets and talents, and working together, you can coach them to realize their potential Zdeno Chara Bruins Jersey , you will build a bossdirect report relationship that people will hate to leave because they are GLAD you are their boss.


As Mother's Day approaches I would like to give a different perspective to ponder.


Being a parent and a mother are not necessarily the same. Parenting is a gender-neutral term and refers more to the management function (hearing kids read, being a cheerleader, confidante and behaviour management expert) while mothering, like fathering John Moore Bruins Jersey , is something more instinctive, more basic and more close to the bone.


Parenting can be taught but mothering is something to grow into. Mothering (and fathering) is generative in that it develops when you come into contact with children.


Mothering, like fathering, means different things to different people. Mothering is traditionally linked with nurturance and protection of the individual Brandon Carlo Bruins Jersey , while fathering is more usually linked with challenge for the individual (dads can be hard on some of their kids!!) and protection of the group or family. It has long been my contention that a child needs to be both mothered and fathered for healthy development to occur. That is, he or she needs to experience a mixture of nurturance and challenge. Sole parents need to be both mother and father to a child, which is hard work but millions of sole parents do it.


The instinctive nature of mothering comes to the fore many times throughout a child's life, particularly when it is needed most. Most mothers generally instinctively know what a child needs at any given point in time yet many women don't listen to Chris Wagner Bruins Jersey , let alone trust, their instincts.


Mothers can be rejected temporarily by their children. For instance, young boys can sometimes turn away from their mothers in early primary school. A five or six year old boy may let his mum know that ?being a big boy? means that you no longer kiss him goodbye outside the school gate. Or an early adolescent girl may want to spend more time with her father than with her mother because they need affirmation from the main man in their lives at that time of change. That is the instinctive nature of raising kids and the nature of mothering.


If parenting is about the headspace of raising children then mothering (and fathering) is about the heart and soul of raising kids. As a parent you may work yourself out of a job as your children move into adulthood but as a mother you are never redundant. We grow away from our parents but we never grow away from our mothers and fathers. A mother only has to look at her child in a certain way to transport them back to childhood in an instant.
