Yesterday I was visiting a fellow Toastmaster, and we watched a DVD called Magic Moments II. This is a video that the 2001-2003 Public Speaking International World Championship competition in order to study some of the best practices analyzes 30 clips. I saw this same presentation at international conference this past summer (1990 World Champion of Public Speaking given by David Brooks) 2004 live in Toastmasters, but it certainly is useful to see him again. The interesting thing about this video is that it just does not win the analysis of speech. This approach seems that every speaker is not right. 9 finalists competing in this competition every year, so that 27 to study people. They in addition to modeling the absolute best in their field, you also can learn much by studying other high-performance, though, since they "can not be 1 in your area, it is likely that: I The concept behind this video at least one kind of thing is not better than anyone else. in terms of public speaking, skills, use humor, facial expressions, gestures, use of the state of props, including in order, using pauses and silence, story telling, vocal variety, (purposefully around the stage), speech content blocking, metaphors, for many people that are willing to contest winners to study the use etc., I also really every competitor studies like the idea.
The main advantage of the wide range of study that problem-solving tool allows you to build a great collection. It has been said that when your only tool a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. By most of my adult life, after studying the individual development, one thing that I did not expect was when I started on this path many "tools" to solve human problems there we procrastination, laziness, fuzzy goals Such as are for engaging, difficult relationships, etc. When you overcome procrastination is to find 100 different ways, I think the problem you win unique variations when it is a very big chance. Just start with a novice carpenter a hammer and a screwdriver, while an expert carpenter carpentry a wide variety of problems to solve might be 100 different instruments. Now the hammer and screwdriver work that will address 80% of the 100 devices can handle, but such a sophisticated set of tools with expert carpenter and would be more accurate and there are some problems that Newbie can not just lack of skill at all, but due to lack of proper tools, not solutions.
It is your own work is a metaphor for personal growth. For example, if you have trouble with procrastination, and in your life to solve the problem, trying a few different ways, all the different "tools" list, you have been using to try to deal with Do. If you can only list 5 or 10 (or less), so maybe the real problem is delayed. Maybe you just enough to know all possible variations of delay is not tools. So based on accurate information, you may find that sometimes you overcome the problem the second time delay remains unstable. 100 devices with those that think like expert carpenter. Now when he goes to buy equipment for the 101 #, it probably will rarely use so esoteric that it's going to be something. But when a specific carpentry problem is that the device is ready, even if it happens only once every two years and device costs $ 50, he will be happy. Each tool is an investment that can solve problems efficiently, the number increases.
Substantial investment in equipment you life? Do you have problems every week that you absolutely do not feel so far conquered occur? Are you trying to solve everything with just a hammer and a screwdriver? For example, if procrastination is a problem for you, about what you read over 10 books on overcoming procrastination were? 10 books you overcome procrastination tool should at least 5-10. Most people do not read a book on the subject though, so all that hammer and screwdriver. Your car breaks, you have a mechanic that only a wrench and a tire pump will take you to master? If you go for open heart surgery, you want it a needle and a surgeon whose only tools are performed by a plastic tube to? If you go out for dinner, do you want your food coloring and a chef who only uses a knife made by? Yes, that last one, Benihana for the right really think .... :) Although we rely on experts when we held device your car, our food, or even our heart pumping blood may need to decide where we do not turn when our very life needs fixing? I think one area where we need to assume personal responsibility for our own toolkits that are as rich as possible is developed. We personally difficult to learn to solve problems should be responsible for the person, such as setting and achieving your goals, getting yourself to act despite the fear, finding our values and integrity live together, building relationships with others such as empowerment, parenting, and energy to maintain our health, our personal philosophy of life, developing the best we can be human, etc. A hammer and a screwdriver only will not cut it in the mature - Benihana chefs, too.
Of life where we developed the toolkit? A simple way to begin strictly better than other people around us have to borrow tools. However, in an area can be a problem, chances are that there is someone you know who do not have the same problem. Go over to that person and ask them for advice. Borrowed equipment and add your own toolkit. The good thing about human life, lending tools that you do not have to return them. A second method in which the information you need better equipment is eating. Still have not read a book on the subject. Read 10 books by 10 different authors. Even if you find that some of the books are lousy, they give you a good tool if you have not yet, that's great pay. I awful, badly written books that still have a useful idea I've read a lot. And every once in a while, I have a really great book that gives me new ideas to stumble upon a few dozen. So just as a carpenter, a surgeon, a mechanic, or a good cook to expect to solve problems within their domain of a rich collection of tools is to take the same approach towards life. Beat yourself up if you like losing weight for a long time can not solve the problem do not. Get curious instead. See if you at least 100 different new techniques you can learn so far have not encountered.
Why is a rich toolkit so important here? Because every human situation you'll encounter is unique. If you need to lose weight, your physiology is slightly different from everyone else's. So no one tool is likely to be a perfect fit for your particular situation. You're almost certainly going to need a hybrid solution that combines multiple tools. It's just like the carpenter, surgeon, mechanic, or chef who will use a variety of tools in a very specific order to solve a specific problem, but the exact usage of the tools may be unique for any given situation. If you only have 5 tools available, you're going to be very limited in your ability to successfully develop your own hybrid solution. But if you have 100 tools, many of which are subtle variations on each other, you'll be able to tackle unique human problems with far greater variety and precision. And you'll also avoid the problem of overgeneralizing, where you try to use a hammer on everything.
I've used this approach myself with great success. For example, in the area of spiritual beliefs, I've spent half of my life studying different religions and philosophies, immersing myself in several of them. None of the existing formal belief systems suited me perfectly, yet each of them contained at least one element that resonated with me. I wanted to develop a belief system that was fully congruent my evolving knowledge base, my direct experiences, my logic, my common sense, and my emotions. I just couldn't practice spirituality in a way that seemed disingenuous to me. But by borrowing ideas from other belief systems and thereby forming a rich set of philosophical tools, I was able to develop a personal hybrid spiritual belief system that suits me, even though it almost paradoxically sews together elements from seemingly conflicting philosophies. Although I lose the convenience of a common label, what I gain is a philosophy that is uniquely me, incorporating everything I've experienced up to this point. I also gain access to all the "spiritual development tools" of every philosophy I've studied. So while one particular religion might emphasize the power of prayer, while another focuses on meditation, and still another relies primarily on dream interpretation, my belief system allows me to understand the strengths and weaknesses of all of these practices and to use them together in a very unique and personal way.
