Just my thoughts #0778

Connectivity and Opportunity: Opportunities come when you uncover connections that others haven’t seen. Humans create events, which then feed back into the world and cause change. By interpreting and discovering interconnected elements more quickly or differently than others, we open doors to progress. For example, people realized that a multiplex cinema’s competitor was a theme park, not just another cinema—showing how movie theaters and outdoor theme parks were connected. Another case is Lego: while sales were declining, they initially blamed computer games. However, they later discovered the real issue was a shift in children’s play culture. These examples illustrate how recognizing invisible connections boosts your chances of staying competitive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

According to author and leadership consultant Simon Sinek , our brains don’t understand the concept of negativity . For example, giving a negative command to yourself, “Don’t think of elephants!” doesn’t mean you don’t think about elephants; instead, it emphasizes thinking about elephants. It means that “do this!” rather than a negative command of “don’t do it!” leads to a behavior-oriented change in humans. If you use negative expressions when asking or begging someone, you are likely to be rejected or fail. “Eat at the table!” is more likely to result in cleaning the house than “Don’t eat on the sofa!” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
