Thought Tweet #739 "...only he who knows where he is sailing also knows which wind is good and the right wind for him."
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Not mine...Nietzsche's...[and I agree with him]
From 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', (1880's)
Zarathustra's shadow talked to him...
"But alas, how could any thing please me any more? Do I have a goal any more? A haven toward which my sail is set? A good wind? Alas, only he who knows where he is sailing also knows which wind is good and the right wind for him."

Thought Tweet #738 It's OK to voice clichés...as long as you don't make a practice of living them.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Common don't cut it in this world of global commoditization.

Thought Tweet #737 Objective, well-intentioned, well-delivered criticism will still gnaw, rip, and tear thin skin.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Criticism will always gnaw, rip, and tear at thin skin. That is a given. The only question is: how will the thin-skinned person react as the thin skin rips and tears? The natural reactions are fight & flight...aggression & avoidance.
And, of importance – will ‘motivation’ get dragged into the bloody discussion after the ripping and tearing of thin skin? Sometimes it will. More often the thought will be there, but it will be unspoken. And, as they say, “It's the thought that counts.” I have strong views on ‘motivation’, and my strong views contain intolerance of those who blame others for the failures or the lack of motivation. Bosses have a tough enough job without having to bear the burden of every subordinate’s ‘motivation’.
