What Do You Feel is Real?

Ten years ago, scientists discovered “a geometric, jewel-like object at the heart of quantum physics.”

This jewel-like object is called the amplituhedron (cool name, right?) and it, “dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality.” *

A theoretical physicist at Harvard, Jacob Bourjaily said that when using the amplituhedron, “The degree of efficiency is mind-boggling. You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.”

But that’s enough of that. The real question behind all this is, “What is real?”

Questions about the nature of reality, and the reality of nature, that echoed in the hearts and minds of humans for a long, long time.

What is Reality? Mathematicians have structured long equations to explain it. Theoretical physicists have developed theories to predict it. Philosophers have made names for themselves by speculating about it.

But I’m not asking them.

I’m asking you.

What are the most real things in your life?

Indy Beagle is going to collect your answers and task the Tiny Tribe into using the most beautiful pieces and phrases in song lyrics that he will publish in the rabbit hole a few weeks from now.

You can reach Indy at indy@wizardofads.com

Your answers don’t need to be scientific, philosophical, or universal.

They need only be true… to you.

We’re looking for that jewel-like object that sparkles in your heart and twinkles in your eyes and glitters on the surface of the sea.

The sea is your unconscious mind.

We’re looking for the song that has not yet been sung.

Aroo,

Roy H. Williams

PS – Tom T. Hall said the most real things in his life were, “Little baby ducks, old pickup trucks, slow-moving trains… and rain.”

Four obstacles prevent most people from becoming persuasive communicators, whether in print, in front of an audience, or on video. And those obstacles are SNEAKY obstacles. That’s the conclusion of Michelle Gladieux (Glad-ee-oh), a communication consultant with 18 years of experience teaching at the highest levels. “The ability to dazzle an audience is far more accessible than most people believe,” Michelle tells roving reporter Rotbart, “but you’ll need to take some uncomfortable risks to succeed.” Are you willing to risk a few minutes to elevate your speaking abilities by several notches? All aboard! It’s time for MondayMorningRadio.com

Random Quote:

“The Source of All the Confusion

Two brothers were locked out of their home, so they climbed onto the roof and entered the house through the chimney. When they crawled out of the fireplace, one of them had soot on his face, the other did not. The clean-faced brother immediately went into the bathroom and washed his face. The brother with soot on his face did not. Why?

We are confused by the actions of the brothers until we put ourselves in their shoes and see the world through their eyes.

The clean-faced brother looked at the sooty-faced brother and assumed they were both in the same condition, so he went and washed his face. Likewise, the sooty-faced brother did not know he needed to wash, because he was looking at the brother whose face was clean.

We assume that we are like other people, and that they are like us.

This is the assumption that misinformed the brothers.

This is the assumption that misinforms the salesperson.

Do you put yourself into the shoes of each customer and see the world through their eyes, or do you assume that they are like you?

Do you unconsciously assume that your customer has your financial limitations? 
Do you secretly believe that they should do what you would do?

These are the reasons you struggle as a salesperson.

You believe you are being empathetic, but you are not.

You aren’t putting yourself into their shoes; you’re putting them into yours.”
