![]() May you merrily make the 5th MEANINGFUL MOVE! Austrian psychologist and psychiatrist Alfred Adler (1870 - 1937) coined the concept of ‘Fictional Finalism’, implying that, the goal upon the pursuance of the individual is a vital decisive factor in one’s LIFE. Whereas, Adler, saw the concept of goal orientation as the principle of finalism, he also suggested that, many of our guiding goals are fictions; we are unable to have a complete understanding of things as they really are, so we structure our own idea of reality. Much of deciding is the triumph of hope over experience. Just as no building lacks an architecture, so no choice lacks a context. SEVEN ways on how RELIABLE RESPONSIBILITY will make you a SPECIAL SANCTITY:Austrian psychologist and psychiatrist Alfred Adler (1870 - 1937) coined the concept of ‘Fictional Finalism’, implying that, the goal upon the pursuance of the individual is a vital decisive factor in one’s LIFE. Whereas, Adler, saw the concept of goal orientation as the principle of finalism, he also suggested that, many of our guiding goals are fictions; we are unable to have a complete understanding of things as they really are, so we structure our own idea of reality. Much of deciding is the triumph of hope over experience. Just as no building lacks an architecture, so no choice lacks a context. SEVEN ways on how RELIABLE RESPONSIBILITY will make you a SPECIAL SANCTITY:Substantially, human experience does not come analysed for us. As such ethical theorising persists as a vital enterprise. Life is a complex matrix in which a wide variety of perspectives is formed. We therefore, cannot expect to find unanimity in ethics, save perhaps in the general, if sometimes unacknowledged homage to the power of reason. The last ethical theory has not yet been written, the last ethical insight has not yet been recorded. To think maturely on moral matters is the desideration and value of any responsible and authentic individual. Potent responsibility means our self-cultivated authority to make decisions independently. It is being accountable to nobody, but ourselves (our internalised standards) in the pursuance of the courses or projects which we judge to be morally valuable, and intellectually viable. This is a vital measure of the continual success in preserving oneself. Escaping ‘Responsibility’ may be facilitated by diffusing it through: bystander apathy (belief that others have already or will act to help a person who is for instance, in danger); social loafing (the tendency for you to put less effort when working in a group than when working alone); deindividuation (feeling less accountable for your actions in the presence of a group). However, the gospel of personal ‘Responsibility’ gains appeal, only from the precise perspective that, we either solve the problems facing us using our God endowed faculties, or relinquish this duty and accept a fate we may not like, and which we may regret till we will be swallowed by the grave. Compulsive as it is, the call of ‘Responsibility’ is to attack any difficulty at its source; seeking knowledge of the causes of things; accepting without protest the changeable order of natural events. In our modern industrial world whereby many forces are consciously or unconsciously urging and propelling us towards the altar where personal ‘Responsibility’ is being sacrificed to mass conformity, to avoid being sent into the hell of depersonalisation, we have to assert our divine right of charting our course and destiny. If you cannot accurately describe your next level of growth, your present level will be your only reality. As such, you are called upon to have an accurate picture of your destination in order to proceed with the journey. Inside every so-called fool is a genius waiting to come out. Inside, every peasant is a king waiting to be crowned. Speak the language of your destination. See yourself there and very soon, the whole world will be forced to see about you what you already saw concerning yourself. Assuredly, no one was born mediocre; it is the conditioning of our environments and the subtle influence of our associations that give us the reassuring comfort to settle in the bad, the ugly and the lukewarm. But the Clarion Call for an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE is for us to reign over mediocrity, whereby the decisions of discontent must push us until normal begins to appear, feel and sound invasively offensive. Greatness is not by luck! Great people were once little people that decided to grow. Lethargy is a signature of failure. You degenerate in value each time you ignore your gifts and talents to pursue LIFE through other means. Outside of your true essence which is locked in your gifts, you will pursue illusions, shifting shandows and deceitful facades which will never truly saisfy. You risk being despondent, ineffective and shallow, but when you forsake all others, and engage in your talents, gifts and abilities, you will not only be rewarded by LIFE, but you will become remunerated for doing what you would have done for free, anyway. BEYONDISM hereby prescribes as a ‘self-indulged operation’ for anchoring – though absolute standards are mortally not realizable - ‘Reliable Responsibility’ in our innards. For the express purpose of facilitating the general thriving of the seed and the plant of an AFRICAN CIVILIZATION, a bit of insight from Confucianism is vital. Confucius, the Latinised form of Kung Fu-Tzu (551 - 579 B.C.) meaning Master Kung’ has been revered by the Chinese as their greatest Sage. His teachings which are entirely secular and largely concerned with goodness, justice, loyalty, filial piety and other virtues made important and revolutionary impact upon charting the higher social ethic of the Chinese civilisation. One passage in one of his important work Analects reads:

May you felicitously face the 5th phase of DILIGENT DIMENSIONS |
Culturally speaking, we live in momentous times in which values are in a ferment. Our generation is cursed with the anguish of moral conflict and blest with an unprecedented opportunity for major reconstruction. How shall we train and mobilize our minds and souls for this confrontation? The concern of every sane and thoughtful human with what LIFE is about boils down to, “What am I?”, “Where am I?”, and “What ought I to do?”. The last question, which most distinguishes man from the lower animals, introduces moral values, which are the center of all values. For the highest type of homo sapiens, no question is so important as that of the moral purpose of LIFE; and the deepest happiness is achieved only through some understanding of it. |

| A ‘GENERATION’ is defined by sociologists as a ‘cohort group’ that is born over a span of years – typically about twenty – and that shares characteristics, including some shared childhood and coming-of-age experiences, a set of common behavioural and attitudinal traits, and a sense of common identity. But how are generations formed? French positivist philosopher, who was a founder of sociology, Auguste Comte (1798 - 1857) suggested that social change is determined by generational change and in particular conflict between successive generations. As the members of a given generation age, their “instinct of social conservation” becomes stronger, which inevitably and necessarily brings them into conflict with the “normal attribute of youth” — innovation.
In his use of the term Entelechy (a vital force that directs an organism toward self-fulfillment), Mannheim talked of “historical experience which has social reality as its vital center”. |
BEYONDISM hopes that you are not caught in the whirlpool of desperation like Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC): “What do the ravages of time not injure? Our parents’ age (worse than our grandparents’) has produced us, more worthless still, who will soon give rise to a yet more vicious generation.” On the contrary the Biblical words of I Peter 2:9, which echoes the main Old Testament covenant passage at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:5-6) reflects you: “Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people.” “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” |
Decisively, some of the more common names for this generation are:--->
|
Indeed, Generation Y has been described by ‘New York Times’ as---> entrepreneurial and, “a post-emotional generation. No anger, no edge, no ego”, looking primarily after their individual pleasure. They want the latest phone and they want the best job, even if they have not earned it. Their LIFE is a mess of unrealistic expectations. They are self-absorbed and are more likely to be narcissistic and not even know it. They spend more time getting ready in the morning than Generation X, and they spend more money on themselves as well, even when you factor in inflation. |
Generation Y’ers, are also called the “Trophy Kids,” a term that--->
|
In the world of work, some employers are concerned that Millennials--->
|
Trends toward members living with their parents for longer periods--->
|
Affirmatively, Generation iY is the younger part of Generation Y---> that is being defined by technology, and notably the Internet. Thus we have the term Gen iY. This generation has literally grown up online. Theirs is the world of the iMac, iPod, iBook, iPhone, iTunes, iChat, iMovie, and the iPad. Gen iY is the first generation that does not need parents or leaders to get information because they have unlimited digital access to every kind of data that can be imagined. |
Lately, “Just Google it!” has become the slogan. With great interest,--->
|
Outlined here are SEVEN parameters that precisely define ‘Generation Y’. This also suitably serves as ‘Progressive Patterns’ of its era:--->
|
Referring to the immortality he anticipates his poetry will confer on his name, Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC) exclaimed: “I shall not wholly die: some part of me will cheat the goddess of death.” Read this inscription from one of the obelisks Egyptian queen Hatshepsut (lived 15th century bc) had erected in the temple of Amon at Karnak, near Luxor: Now my heart turns to and fro, “Believe me, you who come after me!” |
Pragmatically, Generation X is sometimes referred to as the ‘Lost Generation’. ---> In 1926 U.S. writer Gertrude Stein (1874 - 1946) heard the phrase une géneration perdue (“lost generation”) being used by a French garage manager abusing an apprentice, referring to World War I: “That’s what you are. That’s what you all are. All of you young people who served in the war. You are all a lost generation.” |
It is in an era of two-income families, that Generation X came of age; a time of ---> rising divorce rates and a faltering economy. Women were joining the workforce in large numbers, spawning an age of “latch-key” children. As a result, Generation X is independent, resourceful and self-sufficient. |
Categorically, in the workplace, Generation X values freedom and responsibility. ---> Many in this generation display a casual disdain for authority and structured work hours. They dislike being micro-managed and embrace a hands-off management philosophy. |
Technologically Adept: The Generation X mentality reflects a shift from a ---> manufacturing economy to a service economy. The first generation to grow up with computers, technology is woven into their lives. This generation is comfortable using PDAs, cellphones, e-mail, laptops, Blackberrys and other technology employed in the legal workplace. |
Unfortunately, many Gen X’ers lived through tough economic times in the 1980s ---> and saw their workaholic parents lose hard-earned positions. Thus, Generation X is less committed to one employer and more willing to change jobs to get ahead than previous generations. They adapt well to change and are tolerant of alternative lifestyles. |
Realistically, Generation X is ambitious and eager to learn new skills but want to ---> accomplish things on their own terms. In Generation X, we can see a general trend in their orientations the world over, thanks to the onset of globalisation. They are highly educated, active, balanced, happy and family oriented. |
Essentially, it is a generation whose world view is based on change, on the need to ---> combat corruption, dictatorships, abuse, and AIDS. It is a generation in search of human dignity and individual freedom, the need for stability, love, tolerance, and human rights, for all. |
Outlined here are SEVEN parameters that precisely define ‘Generation X’.
|
| < “In the transmission of human culture, people always attempt to replicate, to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents, but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning, not DNA.” This is a bitter truth voiced by British-born U.S. anthropologist Gregory Bateson (1904 - 1980). Be in touch with your generation to the extent of being its VOICE, always aware like U.S. mathematician Norbert Wiener (1894 - 1964): “The world of the future will be an ever more demanding struggle against the limits of our intelligence, not a comfortable hammock in which we can lie down to be waited upon by our robot slaves.” “A new generation grown to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.” |
Characteristically, Generation Z, may be referred to as---> ‘Postmodernism’, ‘Multiculturalism’, and ‘Globalisation’. Listen to Japanese business strategist Kenichi Ohmae: “In a borderless world, traditional national interest — which has become little more than a cloak for subsidy and protection — has no meaningful place.” |
Outrightly, they are highly connected, having had---> a lifelong use of communication and media technology like the world wide web, instant messaging, text messaging, MP3 players, and mobile phones, earning themselves the nickname ‘digital natives’. |
Nourishing torelance earns them the name ‘plurals’,---> which reflects that they are the most diverse generation the world over. “Business, with its global influence and its ability to adapt rapidly to changing conditions, has become one of the most effective vehicles for accelerating our self-conscious awareness,” so said U.S. business executive and author David A. Schwerin (1942 - ) |
Natively, ‘plurals’ exhibit positive feelings about---> the increasing ethnic diversity of modern times, and they are likely than older generations to have social circles that include people from different ethnic groups, races and religions. |
Endurance of unpleasant things, is a distingushing mark---> of this generation. They are more likely to accept and deal with tumultous events without blameshifting or scapegoating. Addressing a graduating class at a university U.S. general and president Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969) had this to say: “Your business is to put me out of business.” |
Coping with feelings and attitudes of other people,---> make them to be optimistic, engaged, and team players. This is reflected in the words of U.S. business executive and author Peter M. Senge (1947 - ): “The entire global business community is learning to learn together, becoming a learning community.” |
Their approach to social change is “pragmatic idealism,”---> a deep desire to make the world a better place combined with an understanding that doing so requires building new institutions while working inside and outside existing institutions. |
Outlined here are SEVEN parameters that precisely define ‘Generation Z’.

American psychologist and philosopher Rollo May (1909 - ) was able to discern four stages of consciousness of self. The first is the Stage of Innocence before consciousness of self is born. This stage is characteristic of the infant. The second is the Stage of Rebellion in which individual seeks to establish some inner strength in his or her own right. The toddler and the YOUTH illustrate this stage, which may involve defiance and hostility. The third stage is Ordinary Consciousness of Self. This is what people refer to when they speak of a healthy personality. It involves being able to learn from one’s mistakes and live responsibly. The last stage of Creative Consciousness of Self, involves the ability to see something outside one’s usual limited viewpoint and gain a glimpse of objective TRUTH as it exist in REALITY. This stage is rarely achieved, and it is level that give MEANING to our actions and experiences. In one of the most persuasive statement in the history of thought, in the book Pleasures of Philosophy (1953), American philosopher and historian Will Durant (1885 - 1981) asserts: It is the function of YOUTH to be keenly sensitive to new ideas, as possible means to the further conquest of the environment; it is the function of OLD AGE to oppose the new in a ruthless battle that tries the strength of the idea before society subjects itself to the experiment; it is the function of MIDDLE AGE to moderate the idea within limits of practicality, and to find ways for its modest realisation. Youth proposes, old age opposes, middle age disposes. Youth is romantic, and rightly so, imagination and feeling dominating it; old age is classic in its tastes, loving order and restraint more than passion and liberty; middle age hovers between the two, and weaves their values patiently into the pattern of achievement. |

f you wait passively for a saviour to sort you out, you will be disillusioned like U.S. writer and editor Theodore Roszak (1933 - ): “Revolutionary spirits of my father’s generation waited for Lefty. Existentialist heroes of my youth waited for Godot. Neither showed up.” However, if you seize the moment you will be able to sing like U.S. singer and songwriter Bob Dylan (1941 - ): To burn always with hard, gemlike flame of BEYONDISM, |
As you pass into the world,---> petted (restricted, indulged, pampered or treated as a favourite) for years and now for the first time free, you will drink in the deep delight of liberty. |
Proceeding from the age of---> childhood when you unquestionably obeyed the precepts of your parents and teachers, NOW, you tend to bear law and order grudgingly; noise is your vital medium, and your blood makes you ‘a continuous intoxication’. |
Orchestrating anything into a---> pleasurable affair, your full heart flowers into song and dance; the aesthetic sense is nourished with the overflow of desire; music and art are born in you. |
Superclass is your obsession;---> you love the exaggerated, the limitless, because you have abounding energy and frets to liberate your strength. |
Thrilling in experimentation,---> you tend to love daring, adventurous and dangerous things, with the relic of a bigger-than-life superhero. |
Lively and energetic, you are---> never tired; you live in the present, regret no yesterdays, and dreads no tomorrow; you climb buoyantly a hill whose summit conceals the other side. |
Eventually, as with charcoal fires---> of the forest, it is only when you will have cooled down and have gotten charred, like these piles that you will become useful. As long as you fume and smoke, you are perhaps more interesting, but you are too often uncomfortable and useless. |
The world is a fine place and worth the fighting; you should very much hate to leave it. |
Working out to give the best of yourself to the world,---> you will be in the epoch of achievement and establishment. You will thrill in being an ornament to your profession. |
Imbued in all necessary things, from the exhilaration---> and exhaustion of YOUTH, LIFE will then give you the calm and pride of security and power; the sense of things not merely hoped for but accomplished. |
No wonder then, partly, your increased conservatism---> will be the result of intelligence, which perceives the complexities of institutions and imperfections of desire; but partly it will be the result of lowered energy. |
Needless to say, those years will give you at last---> a disciplined will, and the clarity of mind that illuminates and coordinates desire. Always remember these words of Tanzanian president Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1922 - 1999): “Freedom without discipline is anarchy; discipline without freedom is tyranny.” |
In all measures, the great quality of this age then,---> will be moderation; and your great peril will be mediocrity. Above all, too much zeal is lethal as Greek historian and biographer Diogenes Laërtius (lived 3rd century?) phrased: “As some say, Solon was the author of the apophthegm, ‘Nothing in excess.’” |
Nibbling in the bud all impulsivity, how easy it will---> be to relapse from effort into routine, from the vertical to horizontal LIFE! Be cationed by these words of Spanish-born U.S. philosopher, poet, and novelist George Santayana (1863 - 1952): “The working of great institutions is mainly the result of a vast mass of routine, petty malice, self interest, carelessness, and sheer mistake. Only a residual fraction is thought.” |
Generally speaking, it is vital to remember that,---> it is in work and parentage that you will find fulfillment and happiness. This will accrue to you upon realization that the cost of a thing, is the amount of LIFE which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. |
Hungarian-born U.S. psychiatrist Thomas Szasz (1920 - ) left us with this insight: “A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.” In the gradual series of decisive encounters with the environment (the interactions between biological development, psychological capacities, and social influences), according to developmetal psychologists (distilling from research works of Erik Erikson (1963) and Daniel Levinson (1978)), it is apparent that you are in ‘EARLY ADULTHOOD’. At this stage, you have the capacity to initiate and maintain intimate relationships with others. Intimacy implies your commitment to relationships that offer mutuality, empathy, and reciprocity. It is important to note that these relationships need not be sexual in nature and can take the form of friendships with members of the same sex. Individuals who are able to initiate and sustain intimate relationships with others find satisfaction in their LIFE. Individuals who are unable to do so become Isolated. Isolation means that one is disconnected from others. As such, developing intimate relationships with others is a major developmental task for young adults and the most important factor in moulding personality growth during this period. Here are SEVEN ways to apparently anchor yourself in your COMPELLINGLY CURRENT developmental stage:---> |
Compulsively faced by the ‘Psychosocial Prerogative’ of --->
|
Usually, in ‘Early Adult Transition’ stage you are presented--->
|
Rendering yourself open to the ‘Entering the Adult World’ stage---> of your psychosocial development, will enable you to make initial choices in love, occupation, friendship, values and lifestyles. After defining the adult world, you are under ‘existential’ compulsion to thoroughly explore and test out this world. After exploring available options and possibilities that serve to define you as an adult, you should strive to live with the choices you have made in your career, love relationships, lifestyle and values. |
Riding on the wheel of ‘Age 30 Transition’, various changes are--->
|
Efficaciously navigating through this stage, ends a preparatory phase---> of adulthood and you will enter ‘Settling Down’ stage which marks the end of early adulthood phase. This stage may be subdivided into two sub-stages; ‘Early Settling Down’ and ‘Becoming your own Individual’. In the ‘Early Settling Down’ stage, you are bound to curve your unique place in your society in regard to your potential and personality predisposition. Your key ‘Psychosocial Prerogative’ is to cultivate a sense of purpose and to pursue activities geared towards the achievement of that purpose in an organised manner. |
Notably, in the second sub-stage, you should strive to succeed and--->
|
Thrusting yourself fully in your developmental stage, your most---> critical challenge is to develop close and MEANINGFUL relationship with another person. Although sexual exploration may have preceded genuine interpersonal intimacy, it is only now that true genitality can flower with a mature orgiastic potency and freedom from pregenital or obsessive interferences. The other existential compulsion confronting you is to couple genitality with a general work productiveness. Of utmost importance, a balance is required. Clearly, genitality is an inadequate definition of health. On the other hand, your dedication to work or academic advancement should not be such that you lose or neglect the capacity to love and develop deep, committed relationship, for which you will suffer ‘Isolation’ as a result of self-absorption. |
“Part of the reason for the ugliness of adults, in a child’s eyes, is that the child is usually looking upwards, and few faces are at their best when seen from below,” thus commented British writer George Orwell (1903 - 1950). “Problems reproduce themselves from generation to generation...I refer to this as a ‘cycle of deprivation’,” so affirmed British politician Keith Joseph (1918 - 1994). As we creatively craft our road towards the grave, do we then need to be the victims of a kind of SACRIFICE, which was outlined by British poet Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915)? These laid the world away; poured out the red “From the earliest times the old have rubbed it into the young that they are wiser than they, and before the young had discovered what nonsense this was they were old too, and it profited them to carry on the imposture,” thus noted British writer Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965). It was British churchman William Ralph Inge (1860 - 1954) who intimated: “I think middle age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.” BEYONDISM astutely affirms that your current behaviour will be to a very great extent determine how you will behave in FUTURE. If you are superbly true, optimally exhaustive and fully responsive to your current developmental stage, here are SEVEN ways as on how you will ROBUSTLY RESPOND to the next phase of your LIFE:---> |
Reeling from Young Adulthood you will find yourself in---> Midlife Transition, a period that occurs during ages 40 and 45. This period presents a set of developmental tasks to adults. A significant task is the assessment of one’s successes or failures in the previous stage (early adulthood). Questions such as “Who am I” and “Where am I Going?” become important. Individuals who are happy with their personal, social, and occupational accomplishment experience a new level of stability and LIFE satisfaction. The need for self appraisal occasioned by a heightened sense of one’s mortality, and the desire to use the remaining time wisely is imperative. Hence the second task is to initiate a new period that will address the negative elements of one’s current LIFE. This ushers in a new period of LIFE called Entering Middle Adulthood which occurs between ages 45 and 50. |
Experiencing Individuation is the third task. Individuation refers--->
|
Substantially, during middle adulthood, less emphasis is placed--->
And yet the wiser mind |
People see others as individuals rather than as sex objects.---> Hence, less emphasis is placed on sex and individuals increasingly value interpersonal relationships which are demonstrated through empathy, understanding, and emotional compassion. Relationships become broader, more social and less sexualized. Such a relationship will always want to spill, to share its glory with the world. In its pure manifestation, no action or behaviour is so mundane it does not seek applause. This kind of relationship my well be captured in the words of British prime minister and writer Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), referring to cooperation with the United States, in a speech to the British Parliament: “Like the Mississippi, it just keeps rolling along. Let it roll. Let it roll on full flood, inexorable, irresistible, benignant, to broader lands and better days.” |
Only those individuals who have flexibility, are able to shift---> emotional investments from one person or activity to another. This flexibility enables the individual to cope with challenges such as loss of parents and friends, employment, empty nest phenomenon (children leaving home and living on their own), and other midlife stresses. Individuals must be able to reinvest in new relationships and activities. Individuals who lack emotional flexibility experience impoverished emotional lives since they are unable to invest their emotions in other people and activities. “If one is too lazy to think, too vain to do a thing badly, too cowardly to admit it, one will never attain wisdom,” so said British writer and journalist Cyril Connolly (1903 - 1974) |
No wonder then, successful adjustment to middle age requires--->
|
Decisively, although individuals in the middle years are powerful---> and exert a great influence on society, society tends to make its greatest demands on the person during middle adulthood. Hence individuals in midlife must cope with their family life, work, social and civic responsibilities, and find time for leisure. Outlined here is a summary of SEVEN developmental tasks, which goes far in STEADILY SHAPING the middle adulthood:

Talking about the Chiefs of Staffs system in November 16, 1943, British prime minister and writer Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) lamented: “You may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman, or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together — what do you get? The sum of their fears.” With a stout, hardened heart and sharp swords, the world will categorically continue to offer glittering pricey prizes to you. Such a high-density daringness alloyed to a double-dose nerve, was solemnly sung by French revolutionary leader Georges Jacques Danton (1759 - 1794): “Boldness, and again boldness, and always boldness!” “Lord, deliver me from myself,” thus prayed English physician and writer Thomas Browne (1605 - 1682). |
BASICALLY, to catalyse our SELF-ACTUALISATION, we hone in on a small set of those hundreds of faces. We call this the BEYONDISM BRIGADE. This is a top team, occupying our internal executive suite.--->
|
REDEEMING ourselves from the jaws of Death, away from the mouth of Hell, by fighting with fortified determination in the cause of self-sufficiency, the BIG BEYONDISM BRIGADE four are:---> |
IN all measures and perspectives, these inner negotiators govern your capacity to dream about the future, to analyse and solve problems, to build relationships with people, and to take effective action. --->
|
GAINFULLY the DREAMER is led by intuition, and fuels your ability to innovate. The Dreamer sees a world full of possibilities. It senses opportunity to create something wonderful and entirely new. ---> The THINKER is led by reason, and equips you to analyse and evaluate information. It entails sound judgment on complex issues. Political baggage aside, it means being first-rate economist who base monetary policy on hard data. The inner Thinker excels at challenges like managing interest rates and defining ways to control inflation. |
AMICABLY, the LOVER is led by emotion, and knows how to manage relationships. The Lover’s ability to get communication right is essential now to avoid a downward spiral in reactive global markets. ---> The WARRIOR is led by willpower, and excels at taking action. In the work world, the inner Warrior steps forward to tell the hard truth, to take a stand for your values, and to roll up your sleeves to get things done. |
DESPITE the temptation to ask yourself, “Am I a Thinker?” or “Am I a Warrior?”, those are not the right questions. You have all of these inner negotiators in you. The right questions are: ---> How does the BEYONDISM BRIGADE operate in me today? How do I tap more of their skills and inner wisdom in the future? How do I best balance them with each other, as four inner executives working as one team? In other words, how do I negotiate effectively with myself? |
EXISTENTIALLY, the most important BATTLE in your LIFE is “getting to yes” with yourself. When you learn how to do that, you will start winning at everything else. You will arouse an inner belief---> in your capabilities to organise and execute the sources of action required to manage prospective situations. As you continue perceiving yourself as highly effective and efficacious, you will continue to act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as ineffective and inefficacious. You produce your own future, rather than simply foretell it. Gaining insight into your underlying motives, it seems, is more like a belief conversion than a self-discovery process. |
If necessity is the mother of invention, then resourcefulness is the father. In this fast evolving world with some leaps of revolutionary breakthroughs in all sectors of human endeavours, the only durable constant is ‘Creativity’, which encompasses more than just social, political or scientific breakthrough and goes to include the application of these achievements to meet overall objectives of ‘Societal Self-Sufficiency’. For instance innovations and inventions have ignited China to unprecedented rise which has made the world to look at it in awe and admiration. Here now flows the BEYONDISM BREAKTHROUGH in the manner of i. PRUDENT ii. MEASURE for iii. BUSTING any iv BARRIER towards v. SUCCESS in vi. SOLVING any vii.

Psychologists have found that creative ability is distributed more or less equally among us. Apparent differences in creativity are really the result of how effectively each individual uses his or her resources. Misconceptions about creativity prevent many of people from being more creative. These erroneous ideals are based on the false and mistaken belief that only the chosen few are creative and the rest are mere mortals. Barriers to creativity are many, but the most critical is the fact that creativity is neither taught nor nurtured in our schools or our society. It is understandable we fail to realise our full potentials. Our natural creativity is ignored or repressed. Boring problems or those which do not challenge our abilities derail us from discovering our full creative powers. Without sufficient motivation we do not turn on our talents. Individuals who are convinced that they have no creative abilities do not even try. Stop falling in love with or committing to a good idea too soon. Keep on searching for other potentially superior solutions. Not all sparks starts fires. Healthy self-confidence is essential, but do not get so smug that you stop looking for new and better ideas. Seek to be willing and able to play: with ideas, materials, and reality. Creativity is a kind of mental play. To be more creative, relax your grown-up inhibitions and let your mind to play more often. Do not be mistaken into believing that playing is simply for kids. Practice ‘forced connections’, by fitting elements together that seem to have no connection whatsoever. Free associate. The subconscious mind often makes connections that the conscious mind is unable to perceive. Learn to exploit this natural associating ability. |
![]() The 5th Enduring Excerpt German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) developed a philosophy of pessimism that focused on the nature of the “will,” a term Schopenhauer used to mean both a person’s individual desires as well as the overall essence of being alive. Schopenhauer believed that although “will” was essential to life, it was also the source of endless striving and discontent. In this excerpt from Parerga und Paralipomena (1851, translated as Essays and Aphorisms), Schopenhauer contemplated the role of suffering in human life, and argued that pain was an inescapable part of life. Schopenauer’s acceptance of human suffering reflected the influence of both Christian and Indian Buddhist religious traditions. ...And yet, just as our body would burst asunder if the pressure of the atmosphere were removed from it, so would the arrogance of the men expand, if not to the point of bursting then to that of the most unbridled folly, indeed madness, if the pressure of want, toil, calamity and frustration were removed from their life. One can even say that we require at all times a certain quantity of care or sorrow or want as a ship requires ballast, in order to keep on a straight course....Work, worry, toil and trouble are indeed the lot of almost all men their whole life long. And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of its own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another, and thus they would create for themselves more suffering than nature inflicts on them as it is. Thus for a race such as this no stage, no form of existence is suitable other than the one it already possesses... |
