ESSAY: Getting to know Linocln

Find him at the address of Gettysburg, today is 150 years old. Not just words. Find him briefly. The most wonderful speech in history

He set off on a battlefield of 86 miles from Washington. When he arrived he read about 2 minutes and then handed it to Star actor Edward Everett of the time. And it pulled in excessive, two-hour socks, as the crowd wanted.

Summer brought a shameless massacre in the place he spoke; the country and the leaders were still hurt. Another 17 months danger. In the nightmare, he is sad about the end of civilization, frustration of the American experiment.

As time goes by, he will still distinguish God's ambivalent hand in the victory of the alliance far away. But his speech tells what he knows: speech and fear, holiness are not equal

He read his 270 words with humility and humility. With eloquence and grace, he quit talking. Regarding wisdom, he has become one of the few speakers in history.

His second appointment, the best revenge rejection in our history was also short lived. He knows that the words can not bear holiness and fear - we will not let him disappoint. Or his sorrow, nice restraint

I will quietly sneak up on the first day. I will work hard to connect to the phone, send e-mail, and get in touch. Please ask the mentor they know. I will look for someone who knows this guy. I read the BIOS from the instructor (they do not usually know what you need to know) as they are writing this) and actually understand them. Startups doing it with their own fate build a network that their colleagues crave, but they can not even understand them remotely. Clicking with the teacher is very lucky, but it certainly is not the case

Influenced people know how to build a sustainable connection. They not only know a lot of people, they also understand their connection. More importantly, they add value to everyone in the network. They share proposals, they know how to do it, and they connect with people who should know each other. Influenced people do not respond to different opinions, both emotionally and defensively - they welcome them. Because they know that they do not know everything, they are very discreet and others may see what they missed. If that person is right, they will accept this idea from the bottom of my heart. Because they care more about the end result than the correct result.

Children do not know much, this is a good thing. They do not know how things work, and they do not know how they work. They just know what they want from what they are creating. Focusing on the ultimate goal is to pursue by all innovators, but it often happens in details on how complex it is. Since children do not know where the box is, children can easily think outside the box. I asked the children to get some feedback on each iteration of their prototype from a group they would play as a consumer. Children will soon turn into consumer roles, but unlike adults, they quickly discovered their inventive flaws, and the children helped each other and improved their inventions better start. This is the purest co-creation format I have ever seen.

Children know how to play. If my children do not want to play outside, I will scream as much as they desire. They will not stop playing. They forgot to eat really. Children are in a deep and deep state in the game, that is, Csikszentmihalyi calls it "flow". My child can build the world and city of Lego for hours. They invented games with their own toys and learned more about the world of games they made. "Workflow" is not an actual process. Perhaps you are lucky, you have a job that allows you to enter a state of deep mobility. For most of us, our time has been shortened a bit. Email is bold and very important. From the meeting to the meeting, from the job to the work, compete at the bottom of the limitless list of things, just arrived at the end of the day and got up and to start over again
