<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the critical keys to innovation and development is to understand one\u2019s self, their environment and those who surround them. The greater one\u2019s ability to achieve this, the more successful, efficient and effective they become. One will never be led astray from their objective.<\/p>\n

Three Categories<\/h1>\n

This Science of Achievement (SA) is a highly ordered model of understanding applicable to anyone, for any issue.\u00a0 All matters–issues, events, problems, conflicts, etc. fall into three categories: Planning (Creative), Organization, and Functional (action). Anything you can think of will fall into one of the three!\u00a0 Where do your tendencies fall?<\/p>\n

Thinking Characteristics<\/h1>\n

SA has identified behavioral classifications called, \u201cThinking Characteristics (TC).\u201d\u00a0 These are methods of interpretation we have adopted. For example, are you literal or figurative, open or closed, objective or subjective?\u00a0 When we combine the TC\u2019s with the three categories, we tend to discover why we are what we are. For example, people who fall into the planning category tend to be literal, while the functional tend to be figurative.\u00a0 Organizers tend to be balanced.<\/p>\n

Thinking Systems<\/h1>\n

SA has identified a number of \u201cThinking Systems.\u201d\u00a0 For example, creative types, proactive, whole brain, right brain, left brain and several more. When we pair up the thinking systems with the TC\u2019s and the three categories, additional insights are disclosed. For example, when it comes to close-mindedness, creative thinkers are more closed than left brain thinkers!\u00a0 The reason for this is that the left brains are more willing to deal with facts than creative types who are more emotional. Additionally, when it comes to the organizational category, creative types are not well organized. Concerning the organizational category, literal thinkers are more detail orientated than left brainers but left brainers tend to be much better at processing than literal thinkers.<\/p>\n

Our Master Life Issue<\/h1>\n

One of the more intriguing phenomena is the Master Life Issue.\u00a0 This is defined as one or several factors which we adopt during early childhood, approximately 2-3\u00bd years old, which moderates or dictates our behavior throughout our lives. These factors we call Core Human Dynamics.\u00a0 Some of the more prominent ones are: control, power, acceptance, recognition, self-interest, judgment and drive. When they take on the role of a Master Life Issue, they become the core factor in our lives around which our actions and behavior are formed<\/span>! Once we have determined the Master Life Issue, life becomes a lot less burdensome. Individuals are freed up to accomplish a great deal more in life. \u00a0Then and only then can one proceed to find and develop their power center.<\/p>\n

Power Center<\/h1>\n

The Power Center relates to both whether we are planners, organizers or functionaries and also with the type of thinkers we are. The Power Center is composed of ones point of reference and ones frame of reference. The point<\/span> of reference is what people tend to focus on. For instance, are they materially inclined, a mental type, an emotional character or an intuitive. The frame<\/span> of reference is the belief about that focus. The belief can be open or closed, subjective or objective, liberal or conservative, etc. Together the point and frame formulate the Power Center.<\/p>\n

If a person is inclined toward all three: planning, organizing and functioning, the more balanced and capable their power. Concentration on the point and frames of reference produce more power than engaging needs, wants and desires ever can.\u00a0 The broader a peoples point of reference and frame of reference, the greater their power.<\/p>\n
