The most recent events in America have brought out this question in me every morning. "What can I do to better myself" I have a small conference with some of my managers in my business and that's a question I would like to ask in the meeting. My question to you all: What can you do to better yourself? How can we use our flaws, talents, and interests to better ourselves and other people.

 

I would say to stop listening to both our elected officials, political leaders, religious leaders and the news media. And start taking our lives back from what every one is telling us. Obey the law but start to think for yourself again, instead of doing what "leaders" tell you to think. In our hearts we know what is right and wrong, don't let the biases of others effect you.

 

My question to you all: What can you do to better yourself?

For me:

1. Get more exercise
2. Eat my vegetables
3. Learn to be more tolerant toward fools, idiots and lunatics
4. Lose 30 pounds
5. Clean my room more often
6. Post more on AAC
7. Settle on just ONE female companion
8. Change my oil more often
9. Drive slower
10. Eat more fiber
11. Get out to the pistol range more often
12. Be more tolerant of poor spellers
13. Vacuum more often

etc., etc., etc....

Quit watching TV and following the crowd. Apply critical thinking. Support local community. Follow your interests. Learn about the world around you. Ask questions. Leave the crowds behind... Do what you love and love what you do.

And remember, you cannot better other people against their wishes. You can only be you.

Be careful with that. Keep it professional and focused on your work. Self-improvement opportunities and company culture are fair topics but I recommend against crossing the line into personal topics. Save that for the coffee shop or the family dinner table.

I make a point to look at all sides and views of a situation first and then try my best to find what views and claims have actual factual merit behind them and what's just ignorance and or proud defiant idiocy doing what it does best and being proudly defiant with it's own idiocy and call that out for what it is.

Fortunately over the last few months I am getting the impression more and more are starting to do the same piece they reason the MSM is becoming less and less trustworthy and credible while the independent source news is rapidly gaining a diverse following for trying to show the real issues for what they are, both for good and bad, not what certain groups wish them to be or be seen as.

Whenever I see some idiots throwing a fit over some insignificant thing or having a field day over their having taken something said or did so far out of its actual context a 4 year old can spot that it 's wrong, while ignoring the far more serious issues that do need to be addressed I have a pretty good reason to believe they are 'Fake News' or the simple minded followers of 'Fake News' and false flags or someone with an agenda that does not belong where they think they need to be and for the reason they want to be there.

I might not make the world a better place by doing so but I at least make myself a better person for not blindly following an ignorant crowd that knows nothing about reality and going along with it without question.

Simply by getting better at whatever without burning yourself out like many exceptional people do.

Find the pace.

Helping other people in this forum in whatever way I can is a good first step for personal improvement...

 

This is too great - my husband said pretty much the EXACT thing that you did LOL. I love that. I was almost in shock reading your list because it was almost word for word what he said. Maybe you have a long lost twin??? LOL only thing he added - he wants extra suits, makes him feel confident haha. I directed him to http://www.josbank.com/bigntall >> maybe you can add that to your list ;-) THNX for your reply

For me:

1. Get more exercise
2. Eat my vegetables

I really love that "Find the pace"

Find the pace.

 

Thnx for your reply. I definitely agree with you on that. You should never cross the line with things like that - especially in a workplace. Heck, I'm even careful with things like that at home LOL

How can we use our flaws, talents, and interests to better ourselves and other people.

First of all, everyone should think like you.
Some time ago I was talking to a colleague. He being a top chess player.
A poor person does not mean he's stupid.

Stupid or smart means how much you lose or earn from where you are.
What can we do? We can do a lot, but do we want to?

Why do we admire the money and not what a man is thinking?

I have a favorite author, but it's a romanian: I L Caragiale.
Epitaph at this author:
"Let's cultivate the qualities of people of the country, sons
Because a tree without roots can not live."
(I hope to translate correctly)

Really powerful and important quote. Totally agree with this sentiment.

 

Live in a more spartan society?
Chuck out those who are sensitive to topics?
Encourage widespread hatred for those who don't fit the .... oh wait, you said better ourselves?

Hmmm, I think we are doing a fine job. Humans are inherently selfish and capitalism is the best method for channelling greed into productivity. You will never have a society where everyone is nice and no one needs money unless no one has to work (i.e. mass robotics). Ah! That! Humans will take the next step to peace when we no longer have to feel like that everyone is a threat to our food source (wage etc) and the stress of trying to live is removed. Of course, at this point, people may become more depressed as those who do not struggle find it hard to enjoy themselves (when I say struggle, I mean paying your rent, going to work, trying to make ends meet etc.)

Curious, what events are those?

Probably best not to even start down that road; it's apt to get very political, very fast-- with the usual results.

Wow!

Yep, Butthurt ignorance runs shallow but wide these days so it takes very little to bring it boiling to the surface.

 

Dinosaurs were the top of the trophic chain. But they disappeared.
Now the men are the top of the trophic chain.

If we divide the animals in three categories:
Subadaptated, adapted and over-adapted. Who disappear first?
Those over-adapted.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” – Charles Darwin

So, the not the smartest or the strongest will survive ... ... is not it weird?


There is a principle of entropy:



Powerful states can create mess(disorder) for weaker states. This will generate the order for them.
Mess(entropy) does not disappear, but it can move from one place to another

Attention: I have written some ideas that can be stupid or wrong.

For non sentient life that is true but we humans throw a wrench into the system due to our sentient cognitive capacity and willing ability to find a way to adapt to any environment even if we have to reengineer it to better serve our long term needs.

Very few species of life can survive in every environment of every continent on this planet besides us. Although the majority of our species would be unwilling to adapt we are as a whole very much capable of adapting to anything short of a total global sterilization extinction event.
