Book Ideas III
21|Do hard work - Smart people who have no drive/success are told:
"Oh, you just don't know how to work hard"
This really means "you quit when things fail or are hard"
However, sometimes prudence warrants quitting.
So write a book providing examples of how to detect each
22|Self - "Write what you know" can be hard if you don't know who you are
However, how do you identify it?
Provide examples of how to do so:
1. By identifying what you are not
2. By suggesting different ways of categorization
3. By identifying from whom this could be asked
4. By associating different occupations with kinds of answers
5. By identifying activities which could provide insight
23|Fear - One of the most powerful influences available to anyone is fear
Drugs, NLP, and other things suggest ways to approach fears
However, recognizing fears can be a challenge
We often have blind spots - don't wanna think about them
1. How do you identify what you fear?
2. Are there healthy fears?
3. Should you work to remove unhealthy fears?
4. Should you work to adopt healthy fears?
5. Is fear necessary to humans?
24|Success - What does it mean to win?
1. What are the "win" conditions for different isms?
2. Are there different political isms that are inhumane?
3. Can you identify the sort of ism that matches a person?
25|Forest - What if there were a forest everyone went to in their dreams?
1. Could you retain the visit?
2. Captured in artistic expression throughout the ages?
3. What about those who couldn't visit - why?
No virgins? (like inability to ride unicorns)
No males? (gender-specific forest?)
No young people (need sufficient maturity to see it?)
