Uncertainity

Rajesh Setty wrote an excellent post today titled, "In Search of Certainty". He clearly explains for each of us how uncertainty is context dependent.

Embracing uncertainity is dependent on our willingness and determination to be creative. There is also an awareness component to it. Some people feel at ease to embrace technical/analytical uncertainity but others might be at ease external world. Generally, former is the case with young people and the later with experienced professionals and it has to do with resources. Being aware of internal/external resources will help us leverage them to embrace uncertainty.

Quote: Treating Others

I stumbled upon this quote from principledriven.com:

"Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be."

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Ask and you shall recieve

"Ask and you shall receive", "Knock at the door and it shall open" are quotes of wisdom. I recently stumbled upon Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I cherished this quote:

"I ask not for divine providence or more riches, but more wisdom with which to accept and use wisely the riches I received at birth: the power to control and and direct my mind to whatever ends I desire".
