RE: The Secret Success Principles...
Dear Friends, |
Peter Meisen, President of GENI |
I wanted to
share this story with you...
The two hours that changed everything!
He
skipped his classes to sneak off and listen to this
short man with poor eyesight, coke-bottle glasses and
a great vision for the future… speak at the university.
That was all it took.
He
was hooked. He had to know more. He went directly
to this visionary thinker’s office and signed up to
work for him.
This stopped any further work in physiology and launched
him in a totally different direction.
He
is now doing what he loves, is very successful and has
a powerful and positive impact wherever he goes.
Skipping class that one afternoon could very well have
resulted in him being one of the most published authors
in history...
Yup, we're talking about Mark Victor Hanson co-creator
of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” Series.
And who was his teacher, mentor and guide?
Okay, here's a hint… Albert Einstein once said he was
one person who truly understood his work.
He
created the geodesic dome based on a whole new system
of geometry that he invented. He was an artist and a
poet and a spiritualist...
If you guessed Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller you'd be right
again!
Bucky has passed away, but Mark and others continue
to teach the life-changing principles that Bucky taught
them.
And now you can listen to Mark Victor Hanson and 4 others
of his amazing contemporaries talk about their memories
and lessons from Buckminster Fuller.
Mark Victor Hanson, Bobbi DePorter,
Marshall Thurber, DC Cordova, and
Tom Crum will reveal the secrets they
learned during 5 monthly teleseminar sessions.
Join us for the "On Fuller Living"
Teleseminar Series...
...as these 5 leaders explain the amazing principles
they learned that YOU can use to become successful in
YOUR life.
During his interview, Mark Victor Hansen tells you about
three of Buckminster Fuller's teachings that
impacted him the most. They are to…
Start macro.
Go from the big picture to the little picture. Use deductive
reasoning instead of inductive.
Can you image trying to solve global climate change
yourself? Everyone -- and everything we do --
is part of the global biosphere. We need
to see the big trends and issues before you get
to the individual solutions and choices we can make.
Most people were educated to be specialists –- with
a degree in one specialized area. But in today’s world
you need to be a generalist –- be able to cross over
into other subject areas, learn new things and broaden
your horizons. Specialization is too limiting any more.
Change your perception about the world. For example:
Bill Gates. He took a world that thought that hardware
was everything and said no, software is everything.
Now he controls the software market (much to everybody’s
consternation).
Change the metaphor. Move from a world
view of competition to one of cooperation. Go from seeing
this as a 'Win/Lose' world to a 'Win/Win' world.
As
we move from the industrial age to the information age,
scarcity is no longer the metaphor. With information,
as you spread it around, everybody adds to it and it
becomes more, richer, better.
Think
about Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia that
anyone can add content to. The synergy of information
makes the site more complete and accurate for the benefit
of all.
With industrial commodities (like tin, for example)
if you spread it around, then you’ve got less and you’re
poorer.
But sharing information equals more
and better information.
This is Fuller's theory of Synergy.
To
show you just how universal these principals are, here’s
another example of changing your perception and changing
the metaphor:
Have you ever seen the sun rise and set?
How many of you just said, "Yeah, of course!"?
Think about that again. That's an 'old world' view of
the world being flat. It's in our language and doesn't
seem to be going away even though we KNOW that the world
is round and the sun hasn't moved over night.
It's the Earth turning! (Duh! – smile)
So
why do we keep talking about sunrises and sunsets?
Because old metaphors die hard. It takes a great deal
of vision to see your way through to a new way of being.
Old metaphors limit our thinking. But by changing the
metaphor, opportunities open up.
Change your metaphor about your business and new
opportunities will appear where you were stuck before.
Past problems become today’s opportunities.
The On Fuller Living Teleseminar Series
is a fundraiser for a project that grew
out of Bucky’s World Game.
It’s called GENI – the Global Energy Network Institute.
It’s an amazing and futurist project designed to link
the energy networks of nations and continents so that
people in even the poorest nations can enjoy refrigeration,
reading in the evening and a reduction in the amount
of labor they perform.
Why do people like Mark Victor Hansen, Buckminster Fuller,
Marshall Thurber, Bobbi DePorter, CD Cordova, Tom Crum,
John Denver, and Al Gore say that GENI is the most important
project for the future of our planet?
Because...
Well, do you have children? What will the world be like
for them?
Will one side of Spaceship Earth be forever fighting
the other side of Spaceship Earth? Will some people
have a high standard of living while others labor for
hours in poverty for much less?
The solution is technology and clean, electrical power.
It’s the bridge.
As
we construct more bridges between ourselves and others,
we create more possibility... and with more possibility
we create a place where others can live the quality
of life we enjoy right now.
