If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
And now i am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolations that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something. yes, sir, an intelligent nineteenth-century man must be, is morally bound to be, an essentially characterless creature; and a man of character, a man of action - an essentially limited creature. this is my conviction at the age of forty. i am forty now, and forty years - why, it is all of a lifetime, it is the deepest of old age. living past forty is indecent, vulgar, immoral!
