Accurate Thinking

Looking back at all these James Bond movies as I was growing up, I was always intrigued by his precision in thought even under the most strenuous and complicated situations... let alone the Bond women. As a spy, I guess, you would have to develop a high level quality of accurate thinking to accomplish missions with success. Inspired, I decided to search deeper into the matter with this article I will share with you what I found and what seems to be a key element in the quest of achieving your dreams.

Start by being open. Openness will help you so in unfolding and expanding your mind to think with accuracy. Accuracy is vital to be able to think clearly. To do this, firstly separate the facts from the information as lot of information available out there is not based entirely on facts. For example, someone's opinions, assumptions, excuses, product claims and the news. After reading this article try and pay close attention to your colleagues, boss, family and friends and listen carefully to their conversations. You may be amazed to discover how much of it is factual... not! Secondly, separate facts into 2 classes - the important and the unimportant - or in other words what's relevant and what is not.

All facts which you can use in the attainment of your goal are important and relevant. All that you cannot are unimportant and irrelevant. I know, it sounds so simple and most of you will say, "I knew that!". And in response let me tell you that knowing and not doing is not knowing at all! So get started!

Without going outside of your own circle of acquaintances you can point to one or more people who have no more greater of an opportunity than you have had and appears to have perhaps similar or even lesser ability than you, yet are achieving far greater success ... and you wonder why! ...Well if you do, read back from the beginning...

As an accurate thinker you must be on guard against the hearsay chorus - Julie say it's impossible, Tan says it will not work, my parents say it's not a good idea... it's your privilege and your duty to avail yourself of facts, even though you must go out your way to get them.

By now I hope you got it - rely on facts only!

An accurate thinker must be like that of a good sportsman, in that at least he is fair enough with himself and able to look for virtues as well as weaknesses in other people, for it is not without reason to suppose that all people have some of each quality.

Here is the motto of an accurate thinker: "I do not believe that I can afford to deceive others, I know I cannot afford to deceive myself."
