The 25 Tools of Excellence for a Brave New World, 15: The Note/The Photo

Man is a generalist. No harm in that: he/she is remarkable at adapting and to enhance this process has created a batch of tools which allows him/her to perform to the highest levels. In a Brave New World where planet Earth undergoes several adjustments in the way we act and think, ensure such tools are all easily accessible in your portfolio.

The Treasured Note/Photo

Safe in an inner sanctuary of your wallet. Safe in a purse in your bag. Not looked at so often, but it's there.  A funny little note from your son or daughter when there were just age four. A short-pretty well her last-shopping list from your mother.  A photo of the two of you just weeks after you had met-crikey you look so young- and really couldn't afford that trip to Paris.

In a world where we sometimes have so many digital memories we turn around and realise we have none, save a few real ones for the rainy days we all have.

Get the tools to be brilliant in a Brave New World.
