SUMMARY OF BOOK
This is the non- fiction book only those people and companies that are
able to perceive what is going to happen will succeed. Combining Eastern
philosophy, contemporary Western experience and plain common sense,
this book will make you question why you think the way you do and guide
towards what you can become. The way you see the world can hold you
back. If your perception about your life is misguided, how can you expect
the future to be any different than the past? The ability to think
entrepreneurially is essential today and only those companies that are able
to perceive what is going to happen will succeed.
________________________________________________
Paradigm shift
A change in our ideas is usually brought about not solely by will but
by other ideas, different levels of thinking. Such an experience occurs when
new light is suddenly shed on something familiar.
Chapter 2: The Sense of Principle
In it’s latin derivation and it’s Greek root eqiuvalent principle means
the ‘begining’ or ‘foundation’. In general any principle that we appeal to in
resolving a problem, or in deciding our actions, can be applied again and
again in other circumstances. Principles also have the quality of being the
underlying origin or source from which a set of consequences follow.
Principles and causes are the same. The word principle merely signifies that
from which something proceeds. Principles are not invited by us as
practices are, and they apply in all situations whatever the circumstances.
When we understand and live our lives based on principles, we will be able
to apply them in any circumstances.
Self Observation
Observe your inner feeling when you are with others in verious
cercustances. Are you relaxed or uneasy, timid or talkative? Are you
compelled to be the life and soul of the party? Do you allow yourself to be
carried along or perform in a certain fashion, with or without your consent?
Next observe yourself when you are alone. Are you invariably more at ease
when by yourself ? more relaxed? If answer is yes, this what you do.
Chapter 4: The Sense of Communication
We should have greater understanding and meaning in our
communications with others. The nature of communicating to ourselves
through listening to our inner world has a direct mirroring effect on our
interpersonal abilities in our external world. The principle is the same for
listening as it is for evaluating and they are interrelated. You can not
communicate effectively with others unless you are yourself. Being
yourself is the first and most important step in effective communication.
When you fist hear something you hear it on the physical level. You
hear the actual words, the softness or loudness created by the vibration of
speech. Then you hear the feeling, belief and enthusiasm in the words at
your emotional level. At the mental level you notice what is important to
you and you may make a mental note or right it down you heard the words
intellectually and mentally, your mind worked out what was said and
understood. Much of our schooling ensure that we all hear very well at the
mental level. The next level is spiritual one. How do you know when you
hear something spiritually? We often do it without realising what is
happening. It works something like this. Somebody may say something to
you which you don’t really understand, yet it seems to make sense.
Although you have no means of very fine what was said inwardly you
know that it is correct.
To hear spiritually, at the highest level, is the ultimate step you need to
take. When you hear spiritually you enter the final stage of hearing.
Any vision or mission that you have for business will be lost unless you are
able to communicate it to others effectively, inspire people and
organizations to fulfil their potential and achieve worthwhile purposes in
their lives. In this way by living in accordance with guiding principles and
values I will continue to develop my own potential.
Company Mission
Mission statement which encapsulates what they are about, why they
are about, where they are going and how they are going to get there.
Sadly it is too often a statement of purpose crafted by senior
management in accordance with ‘we ought to have a mission
statement, in case someone asks’.
The bottom line of mission statement is that if you don’t know where
you are going, how will you know when you get there? Unless a
mission statement is genuie and brought into by the entire
organization.
Personal mission
Has your company got a mission statement? And if so, and rather
more importantly, have you got your own personal mission
statement? Does it align tour values with those of your companies?
Personal mission is rare, so rare that when we experience it, we refer
to that person as having a certain something.
SUGGESTIONS
Align your principles.
Is is very important to keep your mind on what you want and
not on what you do not want.
Do not serve other in a way you would not wish to be served
yourself.
Identify all the weaknesss in an individual, team or company
and dissolve them by devolping your strengths.
Know your strengths and recognize other strengths.
Follow sowing before reaping principle and listen before
speak principle.
CONCLUSION
According to me this book guides the reader in the alignment of
their own personal mission with what they do professionally. Without
alignment we unwittingly restrict our thought processes and miss the
opportunities that exist around us. The two principles that underline
the business philosophy that I refer to as ‘entrepreneurial thinking’ are
the two tenets that appear throughout this book. The first is that you
develop from inside out. The second tenet is that of ‘onenesses’.
