The
insights contained here relate to aspects about life and business
as perceived by Gary Hipworth at various times over the years
(unless attributed to someone else). We have a preference for a
very superior way to learn (or unlearn!) that beats the heck out
of just accumulating more and more information/ knowledge. It is
having an 'AHA!' moment or insight
into an area of life or business or whatever.
Suddenly
everything becomes very clear and you get it, you understand the
essence of something that you may have been pondering for some
time.
Insight learning
is a million, trillion times more effective than any other form
of learning that we have ever come across because -
*
understanding can happen literally in a moment
* you see the
whole subject in a flash and the detail takes care of itself
*
you get a very deep understanding of the subject and that's it
forever on that issue
* very complex matters can be made
simple for communication to other people
* you can let your
mind cogitate on a problem while you sleep, and presto! - you
wake up and the answer pops out!
Therefore, rather
than producing a mountain of downloadable information/ articles,
we are providing you with pithy, hopefully wise, humerous and
mindbending insights that have the power to significantly improve
your life and business situation.
Insight learning is not
mechanical like our normal way of learning. The conditions for
having a powerful life-changing insight seems to be the
following:
- a burning desire or need to know
- no
preconceived ideas as to what the answers may be, and
- for
the mind to be in an awareness state of not-knowing
We
use this incredibly effective insight learning process with our
Virtual Business Partner service.
Good luck and
let us know if the earth moves for you with any of these insights
or if you have insights about any area of life that might benefit
others and we will consider logging them and giving you the
credit, of course!
