Rememberthe 20/80 Rule?

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. … This is another paradox: what is soft is strong. “ Tao Te Ching”

Page 9: Clean your mind cache

Is the quality of our brains and hearts linked to the quality of water that runs in our bodies?

With what do we fill this water?Is the water turbid?What turbid water will do to us?How deep is this water?

We are aware of the ecosystems of tangibles and how they interact with each other

Page 11: Clean your mind cache

How about ecosystems of intangibles and how do they interact with each other?

Page 12: Clean your mind cache

And mainly ecosystems that have water as a major component

How about ecosystems of intangibles and how do they interact with each other?

Page 13: Clean your mind cache

Let’s envisage an intangible water-based ecosystem

Intangibles Ecosystem

2. The deacying trunk providesan opportunity for new“Thought Plants” to grow

3. The tiny “thoughts plants” feed the bugs that disturb the mind

4. Bugs become the food forthe “frogs in the Mind”

5. The frog becomes foodfor the “Snaky Thoughts”in the mind

Bacteria in our brains

Until recently, scientists would have said no way. Now, that view is beginning to shift, with increasing evidence that bacteria do sneak in.

Pebbles changethe flow of thoughts

Stone mindsThey are like pebbles in water and change the flow of your thinking

What happens when they collide?

How to clean your mind?We’re learning more about why sleep is so important. According to an interesting set of recent studies, sleep provides your brain with the opportunity to essentially clean itself. One researcher compares your brain to an aquarium: “Think about a fish tank. If you have a tank and no filter, the fish will eventually die. So, how do the brain cells get rid of their waste? Where is their filter?” I’m an insomniac with seventy-five open browser tabs. My aquarium is a swamp.

Page 25: Clean your mind cache

That pond of water in your mind should remain clean and free of negative thoughts that grow the weeds of evil

Likewise; empty the cache of your mind of bad thoughts to protect your personality and coherence

Page 28: Clean your mind cache

Don’t pollute the waterin your mind

Do you need healthy environment to work productively and purposefully?So does your mind

Page 29: Clean your mind cache

Who generates evil? Evil minds are like the browser cache if a virus or other parasite has been downloaded without your knowing it destroys your computer or degrades its performance. Then

Page 30: Clean your mind cache

Don’t let your mind download negative (rain) e-thoughts for they shall poison the water that runs in your brain

If water is moving very fast, the revealing ripples of a swimming body dissipates so quickly such that you may not notice them

Page 32: Clean your mind cache

If water is moving very fast, the revealing ripples of a swimming body dissipates so quickly such that you may not notice them

You need to pause so that the ripples of ideas don’t disappear fast

Page 33: Clean your mind cache

Brainstorm in a fast moving environment is great, but it is greater sometimes if you brainstorm in a slow-moving environment

Page 34: Clean your mind cache

Restful minds might be full of “sleeping” ideas.

They are like a soft drink it forms bubbles if you throw pebbles in the bottle

The Emotional Depth of the PondThis proverb compares aspects of the human character to hydro- dynamics. Where a river pools, the water is deep and still — a metaphor for intellectual depth, profound emotion or complex motives. Conversely, a superficial person might be compared to a river’s swift, rocky stretch: shallow and loud

when a sheep drinks from a stream of water Sheep drink from flat and still waters.Having a still mind might be the best way to“water” some people.

Page 38: Clean your mind cache

The rise of a trout in still water is entirely different from a rise in a brook or a streamCompared to the urgent rises of trout in moving water, still water trout produce a more languorous (lazy) and sensuous (affecting the senses in a pleasing way) disturbance

Page 39: Clean your mind cache

Ideas are like trout- they may create more observable ripples in still water than fast-moving waters

If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out and avoid being cooked. However, if you put a frog in cold water and slowly raise the temperature to boiling, it will happily hang about until it’s cuisses de grenouilles soupe.

Your feelings affect the flow of water in your brain

“Anger is like flowing water; there's nothing wrong with it as long as you let it flow. Hate is like stagnant water; anger that you denied yourself the freedom to feel, the freedom to flow; water that you gathered in one place and left to forget.

You need your mind to flow and you need it to rest

Water in mind and in bodyEmotions are like wind: mild, strong, stormy…

Still water

Flowing water

Mind is the containerof water

Page 44: Clean your mind cache

Water flow is the continuous movement water molecules from one place to another

The flow of water is smooth be-cause all the water molecules move, at more or less the same speed, in the same direction

Page 45: Clean your mind cache

The flow of water is smooth because all the water molecules move, at more or less the same speed, in the same direction

Page 46: Clean your mind cache

The flow of water is smooth because all the water molecules move, at more or less the same speed, in the same direction

Opposing ideas means flow in the opposite direction.The flow of ideas in different directions causes turbulence inthe mind

Page 47: Clean your mind cache

More Rush, Less Speed

Smooth running water flows faster than turbulent water!

Turbulent

Laminar

Page 48: Clean your mind cache

Life ApplicationsNew research indicates that these animals negotiate turbulent waters using a special energy-conserving method that allows them to go with theBeneath its surface, a river is a chaotic and turbulent place. Objects such as branches, rocks or moving fish produce strings of small whirlpools, or “vortices” in the water flowing past.

Page 49: Clean your mind cache

Life ApplicationsMixing hot ideas with cold ideas fast creates turbulence.It is not only creating ideas; it is also to navigate in the turbulence

Page 50: Clean your mind cache

Business ApplicationsA decade ago, people were thinking about moving through the water by brute force, trying to produce more thrust. Now we understand how you can get through water more efficiently by manipulating vortices.

Business ApplicationsThe fish only need to contract their body muscles near the head to change position among the eddies. They don’t use all their body muscles to propel themselves forwards, as they would in smooth currents.

The force on an object that resists its motion through a fluid is called drag

Material things resist changes in their velocity (this is what it means to have mass) and no two material things may occupy the same space at the same time (this is what it means to have volume). The portion of the drag force that is due to the inertia of the fluid — the resistance that it has to being pushed aside — is called the pressure drag (or form drag or profile drag). This is usually what someone is referring to when they talk about drag

Page 53: Clean your mind cache

In sports we notice the effect of drag

Usually out of fear, the climber clutches the rock with undue force, becoming tense and burning through her strength reserves

http://thestonemind.com/tag/efficiency/

Page 54: Clean your mind cache

Likewise; businesses may have “solid ideas’ meaning these ideas have velocity and volume and they may experience the drag effect

Navigating our ways through the vortices to carry them though with little drag is possible by emulating the way trout do it

Page 55: Clean your mind cache

Business can keep its flow by doing more for less

Narcissus, fell in love withhis own reflection

An empathic relationship is a relationship in which at least one person in the relationship experiences and mirrors the emotional state of the other

Your ideas and thoughts mirror your mind to the others.Keep the water clean and the ideas clean so that you may brand your organization with great reflections
