5 Minds That Could Change How You Think and Live Forever

Hello Friends,

     Welcome to Theory of One. We are trying something new since we have a hangouts interview this weekend, I have decided to introduce you to concepts from a new book I'm reading. So I want to start this post by asking one question. What makes you successful?

It is called the 5 Minds For The Future by Howard Gardner. Gardner was a piano player who went on to graduate Harvard with a degree in Social Relations. He later returned to Harvard to obtain his doctorate in Developmental Psychology. He believes and states that there are five possible mindsets and positions you hold in education.

One of these five 'mindsets' or ways people think critically are:
1. The Disciplined Mind

• People who find a specific skill set and attain mastery.
• People who identify truly important topics or concepts within this discipline.
• People who study intensely and immerse themselves into what they study.
• People who approach the topic in multiple ways

I believe this is the most important mindset in this whole book. You will fail in entrepreneurship if you have not disciplined your mind. If you do not find a specific skill set and master it you become what I call "loose-ended". Now understand that balance is essential. It is the key to understanding mass amounts of knowledge. The only problem with understanding everything is that you master none. So I want you to think 80-10-10 proportion. By that I mean spend 80% of the time learning something you value and want to master, 10% of the time learning everything you can, and 10% applying the valued knowledge. Be aware this only in the first six months. After that you need to adapt and revise your learning proportions.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I understand you have many goals, tasks, and projects to complete. Check out the "5 Minds for the Future" and please follow our blog.
