Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #23: If You Often Think Abstractly, Consider the Concrete Tangible Reality. If You Often Think Concretely, Consider the World of Ideas.
   It may be most useful to bridge the two styles. Most of us actually have a tendency toward one of the other. It may have to do with out upbringing. If you grew up in a house of professors, you are probably used to thinking in concepts. If you grew up in a house of farmers, you may be more used to dealing with real world things, like animals and plants. Both ways are important to getting along in the world. Tangible things make up reality, and so we have to be familiar with them and know how they work. Abstract concepts and ideas help us understand broader areas more quickly, without needing to literally see them or touch them. When we use both ways of thinking, we acquire a more accurate view of the real world for what it is.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #22: All the Thoughts and Planning in the World are of Limited Use.
   There are too many variables for anyone to truly know the outcome of almost any event. Something that seems like it should fail often succeeds. And something that seems like it should work often does not. Planning and thinking ahead are good to do. They help us be prepared. Sometimes, however, people find comfort in thinking more and more, and analyzing possibilities more and more, and they get caught in a rut. Rather than progressing and stepping out into the real world and risk making mistakes, they stay in their comfort zone, and delay action.
   
   We need to catch ourselves if we enter such a rut. We need to see it for what it is and push ourselves to try something, and to accept whatever outcome happens. Of course, if the stakes are super high and it is a matter of life and death, it is probably wise to have a complete plan from beginning to end to make sure no unforeseen problems arise. In other cases, remember that there is always a lot to learn from trying something and making a mistake, and then making corrections as we go.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #21: Plenty of Ideas are Great in Theory, but Fail Horribly in Practice.
   Ideas are fun to discuss, and to play around with in our minds, but to really know the value of an idea we have to test it somehow. Often times one test run isn’t enough. An idea might appear to be good at first, and later turn out to be unsustainable, Some ideas require help from many sources, but the more people or agencies that get involved in making an idea run, the more chances there are for problems that put a stop to it. Communism is a good example of an idea that did not go as planned. It was though that this system would sustain everyone and keep all of society satisfied in many countries. However, the reality was that the system was vulnerable to corruption, and it discouraged people from doing their best work because they wouldn’t be rewarded for it.
   
   Most ideas involve people in some way. For example, people will come up with the idea, execute the idea, and they will use the end product or the end system. The issue is that people at all stages tend to be unpredictable and they make mistakes. You can’t know for sure what people want, and how they will react to something new, and you also can’t account for unforeseen challenges along the way to making an idea happen. Be careful with your new ideas. Test them on a smaller scale before you invest heavily into them.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #20: Use Your Talents and Abilities for Your Own Purpose.
   Live for your own causes, and you will accomplish more than if you live for the cause of someone else. People in our lives that try to help us on the right path mean well, but we have to live our own lives. It is very easy to suggest to someone that they might like doing X, or they might like the money in Y, or that there is a lot of demand in Z right now. Trends come and go. One big money making field now could be nonexistent in 10 years or less. the people who know us best can sometimes offer useful guidance. However, you should keep in mind that you are the one who needs to put in the effort, show up to work, and deal with any challenges along the way, not whoever recommended a certain path.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #19: Do Not Restrict Your Own Potential.
   If you expand you mind into believing that you can achieve something greater, then you can. The greatest minds never accept that they are only smart enough to reach a certain level of accomplishment. They push beyond any boundaries. They push themselves further and further until they make progress. Then they rest and do it again the next day. They learn every day, an they think about problems they believe are critical every day.
   
   Einstein is well known to have thought bout the speed of light and the nature of space-time every day. When his mind grappled with a problem, he didn’t let it go until he understood it fully. Despite that he is one of the most well-known geniuses, he didn’t learn to talk until he was four, and he failed many classes in his youth. Einstein would have had just as much reason as anyone else to believe that he wasn’t cut out to be a genius. But he did not let anything stop him from what he wanted to achieve, and he will never be forgotten for his contribution to the world. Do not restrict yourself. Do not set limits on what you are capable of. You are capable of more than you know.
