New Found Control

Idea of Power
The very idea of power means you are able to control something which few people have the ability to. That is the very essence of power. Thus why is the phrase "Power is nothing without Control" coined? I suppose that people over the ages have forgotten the true meaning of power and began separating the very core of power into 2 parts.

Power consists of potential and control. First thing is potential, without it you have no base for which power can stand upon. Power can be derived in from many forms and can take the aspect of the things we least expect. The trick is, to know how to convert what we deem as useless potential into the useful fuel for raw potential. What is potential? Intelligence, Wisdom, Memory and Passion. These are all separate entities that may or may not be a significant part of each and everyone of our unawakened selves. No human is without any of these parts but no human has the same potential in every part as well.

You must be thinking about how do the atheletes recognize their potential then? Aren't they supposed to be physical potential instead of mental ones? That's where you can tell an experienced coach from an inexperienced one. Does a strong looking horse means it will definately win a race against another horse who doesn't look just as strong? No, it depends so much more on the will of the atheletes to carry them through their constant record breaking feats.

After Potential comes Control
You know know that you have some potential, so how do you go about realizing it? A person with alot of passion but no where to express it will end up being an irritant. Yet trying to pursue multiple tracks will drain that person's passion too fast for him/her to get anywhere. Thus comes control. How does it happen? I don't think it happens overnight but then again the human race surprises me more often than not.

So control for all the different potentials are different. For example, passion is best handled by finding a favored hobby and pursuing it to the end. Wisdom is best done by becoming an emotional backer for people. Memory would be engaging in the line of history and perserving the past. Intelligence would be preferrbly handled by coming up with new ideas and theories. Anyone with differring amounts of potential would end up in very different places.

A person with excellent memory, good wisdom, average passion and intelligence would do very well as a CEO whose job is to maintain the day to day running of a VERY large organization. His memory and wisdom would allow for a well oiled organization which will have little hiccups.

A person with excellent intelligence, good passion, average wisdom and memory would excel as an entrepreneur. An excellent rush of creative ideas and high amount of passion would propel his organization forward and an average wisdom and memory would allow him to remake past errors because many of today's inventions are yesterday's mistakes.

A person with excellent passion, good memory, average intelligence and wisdom would be perfect for certain sports. A high passion to carry the person through the tough times and a good memory to remember all the techniques required to excel at any sport.

And there are just so many combinations. With each different combination there comes a job perfect for that person. Although I'm not saying that everyone in the world should be filtered into these categories, most people who filter themselves are going to be much happier people inside. Control comes naturally when your pursuing something that comes naturally to your strengths. Otherwise, control is a hard won battle that moves constantly up hill as you struggle with a profession that your not suited for. And even after you manage to win control, you might realized that it is totally useless to you in your chosen field.

Make your choice, as I have made mine. Alauz Out!
