While learning most frequent Chinese characters and 8 basic strokes in calligraphy, the hiroglyph for eternity, eternal and forever was given as an example to practice all basic strokes.

The wonderful feeling after practicing 永 Yǒng - forever, inspired the question. :)

How would you translate these mindsets to business?

When considering the mindsets we as individuals use when approaching therapy, practice or art, how would you translate them into business ?

How would you choose the mindset that you would use in approaching an organization ?

What would change if the object was you (your organization) ?

Thanks to Whit's blog and entry strengths-based-change it’s not fluffy stuff

found a number of other resources to read through. Fun for many evenings and weekends.

Are there people out there who can resolve the conflict of human nature and concentrating on the positive ?

Hope I'll manage to write about this today. Thank you, Whit for the moment of enlightenment!

Kuidas inspireerida inimeste ja organisatsioonide arengut?

2009-12-03T04:23:00.000-08:00

Tajun inimeste ja organisatsioonide arengu inspireerimist kui

1. suhtumise valikut

2. meetodite, protsesside ja tööriistad õpetamist

3. käest hoidmist ja aitamist, kui veel ei ole kindlust

aga Sina ?

How to live the joy of what may be ?

Inspired by Peter Drucker

"The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths…making a system’s weaknesses irrelevant” through David Cooperrider's interview, the question formed:

How to help yourself, those dear to you and mankind exit the mindset of searching for problems and be in the appreciation, marvelling and imagining what may be mindset ?

The concentration on relieving suffering or changing the mindset itself uses the problemsolving or concentrating on weaknesses paradigm, so inherent in our culture.

So, really, how to let go, align and retain strengths while the environment, culture, and our animal nature all force one in the other direction?

During a creativity seminar on What hinders to implement change-

Fear, lack of understanding and lack of motivation came out in parallel groups.

How to overcome the fear ?

Example: projects moving in Internet speed need tons of feedback

How to be open and embrace the feedback?
How to be ok that there are 50 other projects working on the same idea ?

When limiting to the team with a similar mindset, the open teams will thrive.

What a sunny day :-)

Thanks, Tambet for referencing the Jung typology tests. Learned about the ideal of my type. When people, organizations or communities learn the positive image of what can be, they start evolving towards it. Immediately, irreversibly. The questions:

WHEN will we arrive?
Are we moving in the right direction?
Should I ask for advice? and
How to understand where I am on the map?

will help to reduce the confusion and speed up the development.

Here we come to the name and aim of this Blog - Art of the Question -

The Magic, how to bring out the What May Be, in persons and organisations.

Happy learning and Sunny Easter Greetings :-)

One of the best presentations I've ever seen

First ever selfmade Sushi :-)

The aim

Have some fun, enjoy a Pinot Blanc Auxerrois from Alsace and learn to make sushi at home.

The result

The process

Hmm, should I put some salt into the rice? How come no-one explains that.

Why the heck did we go for the "plastic" fisheggs - never ever again ! Use the real stuff.

Oh, my, they are all over the place...

Quick, clear the place up.

But, overall they, the fresh salted salmon, shrimps and cucumber are edible.

Learning how it should have been done

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b75cl4-qRE LOL

So that's how it really happens. http://video.about.com/japanesefood/Prepare-Perfect-Sushi-Rice.htm

Aa, there should have been sugar added to vinegar!

And the rice should be nice and fluffy besides sticky.

What next: Take 2 at Xmas.
