FIVE MINDS FOR THE FUTURE   THE DISCIPLINED MIND   THE SYNTHESIZING MIND   THE CREATIVE MIND   THE RESPECTFUL MIND   THE ETHICAL MIND

THE DISCIPLINED MIND The disciplined mind knows how to work steadily over time to improve skill and understanding.

THE SYNTHESIZING MIND It takes information from disparate sources, understands and evaluates that information objectively, and puts it together in ways that make sense to the synthesizer and also to other persons.

THE CREATIVE MIND It breaks new grounds and puts forth new ideas, poses unfamiliar questions, conjures up fresh ways of thinking, arrives at unexpected answers.

THE RESPECTFUL MIND It notes and welcomes differences among human individuals and groups, tries to understand these “others”, and seeks to work effectively with them. In a world where we are all interlinked, intolerance or disrespect is no longer a viable option

THE ETHICAL MIND It ponders the nature of one’s work and the needs and desires of the society in which one lives. This mind conceptualizes how work can serve purposes beyond self-interest and how members of society can work unselfishly to improve the lot of all.

THE POSITIVE REVOLUTION A person’s future life depends upon the quality of thinking.

IF YOU TAKE NO PART IN THE DESIGN OF YOUR FUTURE, IT WILL BE DESIGNED BY OTHERS FOR YOU

The human hand symbolizes the five basic principles of the positive revolution..  THUMB  INDEX FINGER  MIDDLE FINGER  RING FINGER  LITTLE FINGER  EFFECTIVENESS  TO POINT THE CONSTRUCTIVE WAY FORWARD  FOR HUMAN VALUES  FOR SELF EMPOWERMENT  FOR CONTRIBUTION
