A nation that has forgotten how to think!

I always thought that along with qualities such as dependability, effectiveness comes the ability to THINK! I am here to admit I was wrong. I don;t know why but I have some ideas as to how we have become a nation that no longer thinks!

Yes we can have citizens and even employes that are dependable! They can show up to vote or on time for work. They can follow instructions and even be effective if there are clear instructions and processes and procedures!

For over 30 years I lead the efforts in corporate America in defining processes and procedures, but I always told my team those are guides and you need to THINK it through! As I see what is happening in the stock market, politics and even religion, no one thinks anymore. They just follow!

Every major power since the beginning of time has ceased to exist because they "stooped thinking"! Rob and I always disagree on this topic and this could explain why he does not like managing people. He has to think for them, and he feels thinking for himself is work enough!

I, on the other hand love to think, analyze and guide others. But my motto is think for yourself. I never have had a team that "are doers" meaning do as I say! I always chose thinkers, "think of what I said and challenge, then do! I don't see one Republican say America think of your future, think of the past and make a decision!

We quickly forgot, Bush, Clinton but always remember Reagan! All presidents had something to offer. You think of the good and bad and make a decision. Don't be lead by commercials, quick bites and the propaganda... THINK!

THINK when it come to family, religion, politics and challenges facing you! Don't look for a quick fix. THINK and be dependable to stay the course until you see your thoughts through!

Be a DEPENDABLE person, citizen, father, mother, brother sister etc and think on your actions so that dependable you will be!
