A Man And His Ideas

Efficient Thinking Efficient generally refers to performance with the least amount of waste or sometimes the ability to avoid waste. The term efficient is very subjective to context and observations regarding use.  Two of the subjective measurements are the consumption of resources and the use of resources to meet a goal. Each are perceptions on the same consideration, one view is from the producer and the other from the customer.  Efficient thinking in mind and the brain is similar. The neurobiology of the brain produces thoughts, and the neurocognition of the mind consumes the thoughts. Waste has some negative connotations, e.g. trash, but a wastebasket is very efficient for collecting trash. In production companies, the consumption of resources manufactures a product. In manufacturing, quality is an efficiency statement that appears to be a perception measurement about resource depilation that occurred to make the finished goods.

Think Outside the Box HERO: The word hero is an acronym that means,  H elp  E veryone,  R espect  O thers.

Tribe examples include family, work, church, city, sports teams, gangs, cliques, organizations, income, discrimination profiles, political parties, military, demographics, national pride, etc. When my daughter was in middle school, the in-girls clique bullying was terrible.

The kids from the "the north side of Colfax" did name-calling, shoving, ridiculed, and ostracized  my brother, my sisters, and me. We were not the only school kids who the bullies attacked.

I remind myself, the sins of youth are not the sins of adults. Years later, afte...
