Realities

The curves on the image above represents the rise and fall of a reality. Each of the three curves are the same size and that is distortion of reality. In recent years in certain ares of the economy the curves have been more compact.

The source of the text used to create images 1-8 below is Peter Drucker's Managing for Results.

Item 9 is from The Effective Executive

Item 10 is from Ted Levitt who taught at Harvard Business School and was later editor of Harvard Business Review and Psychology Today.

Radar: attention :: enhancement :: organization

At the present time this is a prototype site. I add, remove, and redesign content based on my own unfolding comprehension of the time-life navigation ^© (TLN) landscape . This means that you might want to periodically revisit relevant pages.

Site design goals (beta—September 2010): My minimum goal is to provide enough "sign-posts" that serious site users don't find themselves in major negative situations because they didn't get the TLN memo. My desired goal is to provide "sign-posts" to a meaningful life—both for individuals and society. One supreme sign-post is to set your sights on achievements that really matter, that will make a difference in the world. The second half of your life is the major opportunity for full effectiveness and fulfillment.

Many of the books that were available when I first started working on what I now call "time-life navigation" have gone out of print or are hard to find. You can still use the content of the book outline pages to identify topics of interest and to search Amazon Books for topics or phrases.
