First of many

       Hello and welcome!
                                             I am starting a blog for a myriad of reasons but it doesn't hurt that a class I am in is requiring one. Two birds with one stone best suites the reasoning but I also wanted a platform where I can express some of my ideas and receive feedback. I have many journals and notebooks with ideas but many of them are either theoretical or methods to things I do or show a way I think which are trade secrets. Thus, this is perfect for me to share ideas I want but also to work on and improve them with your help and feedback. Just a disclaimer but my spelling is very bad. I am dyslexic and my mind moves faster than my fingers so do not be surprised if some words or sentences do not make any sense.

     About me. I believe that anyone is able to do what it takes to make themselves happy. I think that one's "purpose" is what make them who they are. That being said I like to work and more importantly I love to learn. I truly believe that one should never stop doing both and that you really cant have one with out the other. Work is the easy part if you think about it. You just do what has been learned or told what to do. But learning, that is what separates the average from the exceptional. I am not saying work is easy, work is the physical or mental adaptation of what is being told or what you have learned. Learning, though, is the process of seeing, understanding and adapting to a concept. Which is essentially working. You can work without learning but you cant learn without working.

  With that being said, I want you to reflect about the "About me" paragraph, that was actually not really about me but what I think, and apply it to this. I love the concept of a paradox. A paradox is something that contradicts itself like the "never ending staircase" or "can God make a stone so big that even He cant lift it?". The reason I like them so much is that it make you think critically by breaking down the composition of the two ideas that are being combined to make the paradox. By doing that you have to question the purpose or function of something and ask yourself "Why do I think this way?" Many times most concepts are generally understood to be a certain way. For instance being caught in the rain is universally understood to be a bad thing. Its these universal concepts we subconsciously agree to that make paradoxes work. Which begs the question "Why do I think that way?". The answer I am speculating is that people either have much in common with one another or we don't really think about things and accept things that aren't worth thinking about. Which brings me to this question "What are the things I just accepted and didn't really think about?". What if there are parts of yourself that you do not know because of what you simply accepted wasn't challenged? Who could you become? Would you be a better person? It is by asking questions we can learn more about ourselves. And it is by working hard by what we learn to make ourselves better people.

   I would like to apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors as well as the irrelevant and boring post but hopefully you were able to see a bit about how I think and view the world. In terms of my class, as well as for business, that this way of thinking is what makes me want to be an entrepreneur because I believe there is a place for me and the way I think. I want to not only think outside the box but question the box as well. I think that is how innovation is implemented by questioning everything and asking how you can make it better. Ultimately, I want to become the best I can be so that others can do the same. This is just one of many ideas I have and some are more mind bending than others.

                      Thank you for your time and any comments and Ill post again next week!
