Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results?
Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results?
Look familiar? It is the disclaimer of every Wall Street listed company.
Yet baseball wagers tens of millions annually on A-Rod and Mariano Rivera because of their Past Performance. We act as if the past equals the future.
All sports are based on compiling statistics and manipulating the numbers to
auger next year’s results. All NFL managers have their secret book with plays based
on what quarterbacks and receivers did in the recent and distant past.
Louis Pasteur, French chemist said, “Chance favors only the prepared mind.”
Luck
- “Better an ounce of luck than a pound of Gold.” Pinkie Lee
- “Throw a lucky man in the sea, and he will come up with a
- fish in his mouth.” Robert Fulton, inventor
- “Luck sometimes visits a fool, but it never sits down with him.”
Edwin Schrodinger, German physicist
- “Men of action are favored by the Goddess of Luck.”
Abraham Maslow
- “I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those
you dislike?” Jean Cocteau
- “Luck is a dividend of sweat: the more you sweat, the luckier you
- get.” Ray Kroc
Ray K of McDonald’s also said, “When you’re Green you are
growing, but when you’re Ripe – you stink!”
Have you heard that 50% of all Lottery winners end up broke and declare
bankruptcy? Hold it! It is an urban myth, not a statistic. The reality is that
90% hold on to the bulk of their winnings.
“Fear of loss is greater than desire for Gain.” Whoever said – Easy Come, Easy Go, lied because once we take ownership of an asset, Fear sets in, and it is harder to gamble.
Four Stages of Learning Anything
Abraham Maslow, American psychologist and superstar college professor said:
- Unconsciously Incompetent. We start so stupid we do not
even know there is a better way. Example: I always read like a
snail, and never heard of speed reading strategies.
- Consciously Incompetent: we have see some folks speed read,
but do not believe it really works, and surely not for us. I’m
staying exactly where I started, but with knowledge, but no personal competency.
- Conscious Competency: I learned how to speed read, understand
and use the strategies, and see the benefits.
Problem: I have to concentrate all my attention to speed read, so it’s hard and annoying, and I avoid it mostly.
- Unconsciously Competent: I have practice speed reading for 21
consecutive days (28 minutes daily), and now it is a Habit and on
autopilot. I do not have to think about the process, it is like typing
on my word processor – baby-easy and automatic.
Learning is a Two-Way Street
Our Motor function (doing it) does not operate in a vacuum. Our motor cortex
affects our sensory cortex (processing) – comprehension and understanding.
Sensory processing is a set of actions signaling the brain what is going on in your
body and in the world around you.
Please remember this: when it is conscious, the more gross senses you use in
learning, doubles and triples your competency, compared to using only One sense.
Example: learning any new skill: use vision and observe a master in action (speed reading). Add to that visual sense, listening or reading the specific strategies to embed them as neural networks in your brain for long-term memory.
Lastly, kinesthetic is tactile, haptic, and sense of touch. You are seeing, hearing, and
doing (using your hand and fingers) to reinforce the new skill of say, speed reading. How? Using a Laser pacer to underline what you are studying. It will 3x your knowledge.

Swift Knowledge For The Smart At Heart
- If you want to ask something from another, and want to double (2x) the odds in your favor of getting it – maneuver yourself to speak into his/her right ear.
Lots of research confirms this tactic. How you do it, is the
challenge.
- Extending your Right arm (body movements) assists in
learning and memory. This physical activity triggers your left
hemisphere, activating your linguistic (information) processing system.
Google: A. Lleras, professor at U of Illinois, Urbana-Champlain.
We use the same structures of our brain in thinking about doing
something, as in carrying out the physical activity. Extension of your
right arm jumpstarts the problem solving process.
This research has been replicated internationally. Do your own
experience and improve your decision making, learning and memory.
- Our secret process to trigger your brain for analysis and comprehension is One-Minute of prep by extending you right arm
to trace in the air a Infinity symbol. It looks like a reclining #8.
Do a one-minute Air-Guitar (make-believe) two-foot by two-foot symbol.
Why? You are contacting your Corpus Callosum, the switchboard
for information exchange between your left and right hemispheres.
The goal is integration both halves of your brain for learning and
long-term memory.
Endwords:
Would you be more competitive by reading and remembering three (3) books,
articles and reports, in the time your peers can hardly finish even one?
Only those who desire promotions and success need apply.
