Sometimes we find it necessary to perform an unpleasant task or stretch our minds in ways that we seem to resist. We don't like it; so we pretend to like it, effectively tricking ourselves into acquiring some necessary tool. Consider how many things you have memorized, if your imagination can comprehend such a thing. How did you get through all that painful change? Plus - it wasn't so bad, was it?

Starting a new task might be painful, but more often than not we end up with a whole different perspective on a new thing after we've actually begun it. Unknowns are painful and knowns are not - even when a particular known might be counterproductive or damaging to our success or well-being!

How do you know when, where, what and how a thing is potentially bad to interact with? When something would be wise to memorize? How a change could make a big difference for you? The answer ... - drumroll ...... - Critical Thinking! No kidding. We all know it, but we get caught up in being comfortable so easily that we miss opportunities. This is where the stubborn nature of the subconscious comes in, and how you can deliberately change your attitude with regard to a particular subject by using critical thinking.

Is it possible to be both analytical and decisive? When and where does the analytical process stop and decisive action begin? The answer to this one is again "Critical Thinking!" The thinking/analyzing process never stops, but the mind can allow for action and guide it while considering critical factors.

Music can somehow alter your moods; therefore, music can also affect your emotions. I doubt that anyone can dispute this fact - moods come from emotions. And everything we might want to learn or do is associated with sets of emotions generated by our subconscious minds. If a thing gives off a painful or ugly aura to us, we avoid it even though we may not even understand why. Good thing we're so adaptable and capable of change! Why not use music to change our own inner minds about something we've identified as a flawed pattern? No reason!

Critical thinking is about questioning. I am subtly planting a seed here, a suggestion to question more. A suggestion to question your emotions and your reactions to different things. And this is a challenge: Think of something you can learn or memorize, even if you believe it might just be wasted brain space. Even if you don't think you can do it, deep down you know it's because you just don't feel like making the effort. So, do this exercise just to prove your flexibility. Make a habit of questioning.

Here it is: Below is a free tool given to you by the Sprudio™ (and the Babylonians about 5,000 years ago). The quadratic formula (of algebra) has been used by millions, for ages, to calculate unknown values when other values are known. It's a basic law of the universe and we should understand it (as residents). It's a rule you are subject to, like your local laws, but ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law - in fact this law cannot be broken! Of course many of you are very familiar with this formula, so you folks have to make your own challenge. Come on, memorize something. The constitutional ammendments, the periodic chart of the elements, your anniversary, anything. What then, you say? Well, now that you're so smart, use your new tool for a real-world solution! Google will help. And read on, you're almost half way to enlightenment!

 

This is basically an automatic download: Start the song and stare at the flash movie above until you have memorized the formula. If you never really explored your newly acquired tool yet, check out some of the things that it can do! If you got this far and actually considered any of the information helpful, the seeds got planted.

You will find yourself thinking more critically, more often. It will become habit and save you a lot of grief. Just think of the potential loss if you had neglected to read this far! Bookmark this page and visit again; even better, check out our new subliminal downloads and CDs, surf the site, and hopefully you'll find something interesting (Hint: Downloads for best value on the planet).

Oh here's another cool thing to memorize: the OTHER formula that everything we do is based on - electricity.

V or E = voltage (E = energy)

I = current in amps (I = intensity)

R = resistance in ohms

P = power in watts

V = I x R

I = V / R

R = V / I

P = V x I

E = I x R ( we all remember that one)

I = E / R

R = E / I

P = E x I

Sorry, got carried away there with Ohm's Law.
This stuff is not for everyone. It is an example to follow, though, and whenever we can find out more about the things we're interested in, and that we really like a lot, there are things that need to be memorized. Sometimes unpleasant things at first. The things we needed to learn were sometimes brutal to start, but after that they always got easier.

Our own personal interests have recently been tied greatly to finance and how to manage money best (given the volatile state of the economy, uncertain times). The conclusion was, sadly, that MICROmanagement is the key to success - not MACROmanagement like we all used to do. Enough micro was going on at work you could have filled an emergency room. We actually used to pay more attention to our employers' books than our own! What admirable ethics!

We (here in the Sprudio) neglected self-promotion in the past. We were the type to expend all of our work-related energy for the job. So in essence, our personal future financial well-being was suffering. We made our new plan now and it has turned out to be a rewarding decision to follow. When money is what you need; income, assets, investments, savings, etc. (and who doesn't), you need a plan and you might have to learn a thing or two. Continuously. If you commit to that, you're basically done! Just choose your music and other audio wisely; input is related to output in a direct manner, as you witnessed in the Ohm's Law demonstration earlier.

Slanting outward from there, we understand that the quality of our output equals the quantity of our income! This is why we never stop studying our craft and integrating our knowledge into the ultimate content of each title.

Highest Qualty + Lowest Price + Customer Service = Growth

You would think so, but not necessarily! Without flexibility and some serious motivation, it's hard to stay on track, we know. But - if a good formula is backed up by dedication or ambition it's a done deal. The weakest link is ultimately the variable "motivation" whose value greatly affects the subject's chances for success.

Discovering how effective music can be in your motivation is an exciting experience. Sounds = input and input affects output. Choices in music can influence how you feel. Positive input is more healthy, for example, than noises of tortured screaming or the daily news might be. The whole input/output thing works in its way whether the exact formula is known or unknown. Don't be afraid; question; win

Test:
