The Secrets of Knowledge:

A little story.

' I learned the hard way. . . I could have saved the leather band if I had just 'listened. My friend pointed out that there were 'removable' pins in the two side bars, then to my dismay. Thought I knew better and sliced off the leather band, i did not listen. . . Well. " there is an easier way! My friend was watching and said " wait ! And was going to cut the leather band off, i wanted to put a twistoflex band on and I had a razor blade in my hand. I was about 12 years old and I was taking the leather band off of my watch.

Another story.

They learned the hard way. . . The o-rings. The cause of the explosion? The launch managers did not agree and the Challenger's fuel tank exploded ( as I and my friends watched ) killing all aboard and horrifying the world, unfortunately. They wanted to postpone the launch. It had been around freezing the night before and they were worried about the seals. However -- pre-launch - a number of engineers voiced their concerns about the o-rings in the solid fuel bootsers ( the two rockets on the side of the fuel tank). Not a cloud in the sky, cold morning, it was a clear blue. Watching the shuttle Challenger take off, in Florida, i was standing on the porch in 1986.

. . More.

I applied a key concept - know what you want and it is much easier to get. Not bad for a boy from Mississippi! . . " I just laugh. ? . Surfing. 'what did you study, everyone teases me now? I told everyone that I was going to college in Hawaii and I did , when I was in high school! In Hawaii, yea you guessed it, with a two year hitch, in the Navy, surfboard in hand, i was sitting at Waimea Bay, by the time I was eighteen! And surfing and read and re-read my surfing magazines over and over again, i dreamed of going to Hawaii and read everything I could get my hands on about the islands. ) in the Gulf of Mexico. And was one of the few that actually had a surfboard and rode the waves ( whenever I could find them, i loved being near and on and in the ocean, when I was younger! I'm from Mississippi.

. . In the Philippines off Grande Island.

And we were supper! . . The evening. . . And . . . That sharks usually fed in the morning, i recalled from my studies of the ocean. Just on the edge of visibility, there were four reef sharks circling, and lo and behold, then tapped me on the shoulder, my friend. Just having some fun, it was late in the evening and we were chasing a lobster around a small reef. . . Snorkeling with my friends. . . I was in about 30 feet of water.

And the sharks could not single any one of us out, we appeared to be a much bigger target, that way. And my friends locked arms on both sides of me, i was in the middle. I told my friends to 'lock arms'. There were three of us. Here's what we did. We had about 100 yards to go to the beach and were in about thirty feet of water. About divers in the same situation, i remembered a story I had read. . . So.

I applied my knowledge from an article I had read about a group of divers who experienced the same situation. Scary stuff! Before they backed off! . . And the sharks followed us all the way into six inches of water. . . We finally made it. We made a lot of noise and kicked at the sharks everytime they came toward us. All the time the sharks were darting in and circling all the way to shallow water! . . And we swam into shallow water, and I was on by back looking backwards, my two friends looking forward, paddling with our fins, it took about seven minutes.

Be patient ! . . One more.

I am amazed at what I achieved in so short a time, to this day. ). . . ( But that is another subject - let me know if you are interested. 000 pictures that first year and continued to study what it takes to take a great picture, i shot over 10! Was that cool or what? I got a job at a local small town newspaper as their staff photographer, then I got a job at a photo shop and within six months! Wrote down all the principles and techniques that I thought were relevant and applied them to my photo work. . . And continued to study. . . Got a job as a pickup driver for a film processing lab, i studied everything I could on photography. I did just that. And it will happen, i had studied a principle that said focus on what you most want to do and the learn everything about it. I love photography.

. . The key.

Knowledge, it is of course. Could have made a difference? . . Ok -- can you guess the one key element in all of the above that made the most difference or.

But they will have an 'edge' or an advantage that the other kids do not, it doesn't mean that they will be a straight 'A' student or be the class valedictorian. Will realize the value of knowledge, only because he or she, that child will grow up a little smarter than the rest. That child will be different. '. Or has parents that instill the value of knowledge and lucky is the kid that 'listens, it is the lucky child that realizes the value of knowledge! We don't have all the answers to start with, when we are born.

. . Knowledge is a funny thing.

And be used in a million other different ways. . . It can inspire and influence, it can entertain, it can humor, it can harm, it can heal.

This is it in a nutshell. And they don't even have a clue. . . Professionals and the like what the phrase really means , i have asked many people. Please don't be surprised by its simplicity. The 'secret' if you will of the phrase 'Knowledge is Power'. . . Here is the key.

. . To put it another way. . . .

" . . " Seek understanding and all else will follow.

. . To put it another way. . . .

You can use tomorrow, what you learn today.

. . To put it another way. . . .

There's an ez way and there's the hard way.

The ez way is to learn from the knowledge and experience of others.

The hard way is to try and figure it all out ourselves.

Now let's take a look at the examples I gave you in the beginning of the report to emphasize the above. That is what give you the edge. The key are the words ' more effectively '. Pretty simple yes?

Logic 101

" " " There's an easier way ! " Wait ! . . Or to coin a phrase from the beginning of this document. . . IF/THEN .

. . If.

I had known about the springs in the pins on the watch I'd have a leather band as well!

. . If.

The Challenger accident may have been the launch managers had listened to the engineers,

Prevented.

. . If.

I may never i had not set as my goal (a very important piece of information) to go to Hawaii,

Have surfed Waimea Bay and Pipeline.

. . If.

I might not be here writing and if I hadn't read the shark story, i hadn't been an avid waterman,

This report!

Wealth -- the Scientific Approach:

" " Will it make me rich? Here's a question I'm always asked.

. . Another principle at work here is this. How do I apply them? What are the principles and techniques? What what systems are used? How is it created? What is it? Study it and find out as much as you can about wealth. Third - if you want to become wealthy -- become an expert in that field! What knowledge do you need to accomplish that? . . If yes, and number two, do you have a specific idea of what 'rich' and 'wealth' really mean. . . " Number one. " What is your definition of Wealth? . . " or better yet.

We all start here - some basic truths

Should become more important, and how to use it, then knowledge, once you realize it. These are where you start from. These are absolutes. Here is a bit of truth.

) You only have so much time before you die or you become mentally deficient. 1.

) There are only about five miles of atmosphere on this planet where you can breath and live. 2.

You must live more intelligently - and that is where knowledge comes in, ) To live well. 3.

) Knowledge makes it happen. 4.

" Knowledge helps you use your resources,

" Now and in the future, more efficiently and more effectively.

How Do I apply it? . . All that said. . . OK.

It will be worth it! Keep reading !

Of intelligence and the use of knowledge, but also, not only of knowledge, you will love this one and it will dramatically illustrate the value. . . A very powerful little lesson . . . But first. Teach it to your family and friends and to your children. It is very powerful, and though it is simple. I am going to give you a simple information formula.

Part I -- the lesson -- How smart are you?

Here's a little lesson in the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

A teacher did the following:

" " I can teach you the difference between knowledge and intelligence in about 30 seconds and I will give you a lesson you won't forget, the teacher said.

" Ready? Is worth its weight in gold, for this lesson, we will have plenty to talk about, once you learn the lesson, " no worries. . . " And the instructor said. We paid $$ for thirty seconds worth of time? . . All the students kinda chuckled and said " ok.

" This is the first part of the lesson. He then said " close your eyes. " He held out the apple for ten seconds. "Take a good look at this apple and take a good look around this room, he told the students. He pulled out an apple.

. . Now here's the second part of the lesson.

" Find the apple, with your eyes still closed! . . Now. . . " Here's part two, and then he said. " He then walked around the room and put the apple in a different place. He then told them to keep their eyes closed until " I tell you to open them.

) ( or points in this case ? So what is the point? Nothing will, now if that didn't get the point across.

i.e using knowledge to accomplish a goal, -- and that is ' intelligence ' at work. As well as action, past experience and some initiative, conceptual knowledge, you have to use memory, in order to find the apple! That is all but eliminated, by closing your eyes. The knowledge and the data is a way of knowing or in this case ' seeing ' the world around you. Experiential knowledge, seeing and observing is the gathering of relevant.

Your 30 seconds are up!

Teach this one to your kids. . . Simple but effective lesson. To find it, using knowledge of the apple and the room , it takes intelligence, even though they had a certain knowledge of the room and of the apple. And intelligence. . . Which includes facts and details about something, the principle of knowledge. Teaches two main points, the lesson above, now though it is simple.

That they can relate to like where are their tinker toys! Use a different set of circumstances !

Part II -- an information formula: HICO

Here are the principles of HICO. It gives you a 'bearing' which is a principle or technique from which to work. Like a compass, it is a set of words that can be used as points of reference. What is an information formula? HICO is a simple information formula.

. . HICO stands for.

Health

Intelligence

Courage

Objectives

How does it work and how do you apply it?

These are you personal " tools ". Intelligence and Courage in your daily routine to accomplish that goal, then apply Health. You must first set an objective, just realize that in order to achieve anything. So -- how do you apply it? You have objectives. . . And. Intelligence and Courage, you have a certain 'amount' of Health, from a personal standpoint. You already have varying 'degrees' of the above.

Can be a very worthwhile goal with its own set of results, that in itself. Intelligence and Courage, the increase of Health, you can have as your objective. The formula is simple but effective. The principle is the same, to more sophisticated objectives, from very simple tasks.

Make sense ?

All aspects of your life can be categorized under one of the elements. What does that mean? You can also use HICO as a mental file cabinet.

Exercise / nutrition / rest / your physical well being Health = all things related to the physical world.

Intelligence = all things related to the mental world work / thinking / analyzing / goal setting /

Overcoming worry and fear / learning to cope / Courage = all things related to the Spiritual world.

Confronting life

] [laugh! ! ! Now I can straighten out my head ! Wish someone had shown me that one before! . . Geez.

Reach for something and then use HICO to accomplish it is a way to give your life direction. Or direction and it enhances your life, it gives your life momentum, ( other than simple survival ), when you set goals or Objectives. What does that mean? You can also use HICO to create a direction in your life.

It works, and best of all, but effective, it is simple! I hope you can use this and I hope I have raised your level of awareness a bit and made life a little bit easier to deal with. You are more capable of achieving your goals and organizing your thinking, and use them effectively, intelligence and courage, as you increase your health. These are your basic tools.

In conclusion:

. . Now after reading this you are a little more. Principles and techniques, some simple suggestions! And there you have it.
