Phrenology




So I'm pretty certain that all the truths about the brain and mind - it's workings,  biology, psychology, psychiatry and any other facet I may have missed - is undeniably true!

I relate to EQ, IQ and LQ- the latter being a recent public verb from Alibaba's Jack Mau. I recently picked up on a chirp on DQ which presumably pertains to Digital...then there's SQ ( "S" can be for anything you want...I will keep it strictly to Social!).

This being said, I am of the opinion that any mind, with grooming and fertility to want to learn, can and will acquire what's needed to achieve. A human spirit "open" is a spirit that can never be shut off or down..or not for too long anyway! We are pretty much anything we choose to be. Ofcourse exposure, opportunity, wisdom, insights from enough f-up's, people taking a "chance" on you, support and all else plays a major role in how far you can go...or rather how fast. Ultimately, you walk that path to anywhere, that can be created. The brain and mind indeed plays a major part in it's ability to understand/strategise/implement, but it is more about the spirit, determination, energy and listening to your "gut" that moves you.

Just today, I was reminded of the power in consistency, focus and considered effort. No truer advice did I receive, and prior too from an ex-employer and my then CEO. In many way's my other informal mentor.

Currently and for about a year already, Terry, a 65 year old lawyer who was incredibly successful in Zimbabwe remains a man with "eagle vision" and still in practice till now.  My official mentor, I spend an hour or more with him weekly and my learning's are indescribably appreciated. When the pressure's turned up, he reminds me there's no other way. When I complain of the struggle, he reminds me that he would worry if there was no struggle. Terry has sat on boards, and drafted historic industries contracts...but Terry is my friend first. And he's a man who takes precious time out of his busy day to train me in business and in many ways, in life ( with IQ, EQ, SQ, LQ etc. in one!)
I guess what I'm trying to say is, with wisdom, zest, hard work, consistency, patience and tenacity...no path is limited to EQ, IQ, LQ, DQ, SQ etc. So, a mind and spirit well groomed or willing to be, will find what's needed.

Maybe the only "Q" is the one everyone will be lining up in to get to you once you're accomplished (if that's your thing!). Or maybe a "cue" needed to be taken for the many your journey could inspire. No mind, brain capacity or spirit needs permission to excel. A journey begin's when we choose to walked it and you are the culmination of any amount of EQ, IQ, LQ, queue, cue you decide on.

Personally and while onto the many "Q's" there are, my business partner and I are so grateful about so much.

We would like to say TQ (Thank Q!) to all you great people we are working with, who support us and who we will be working with going forward!

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
