Tools are sources of immense power. The personal computer gave many individuals the power to do what only big corporations could do, until then. The internet has levelled the playing field further and social media even more so.
Now, as an individual, you can have your own mega phone/soap box, you can use state-of-the-art tools to build something on your own and even disrupt an industry while you are at it.
While it is justified that we work hard to further understand how to use tools like the computer, the iPad, the internet, social media etc, it can be argued that we forget to learn to harness the greatest tool of them all – our mind.
All the productivity tools in the world are futile if our mind isn’t firmly in our grasp. The wonderful creation that it is, it can both lead us to experience moments of genius and equally, drive us crazy.
Self control, will power and discipline – the real tools of power. That’s where genius truly lies..
