Words that Ring True

Really Cool post I ran into. Click the link below to read the rest of the article:

http://www.21st-century-citizen.com/2007/07/17/the-new-values-of-the-21st-century-citizen/

While there are really many, many values that people need — including those that revolve around family, community and faith — here is a set of fundamental values that the 21st Century Citizen will find valuable as we work to face the challenges of this new century:


  1. Reduce, Recycle, Reuse

  2. The Individual is more important than the corporation

  3. Those who make the mess, should clean it up.

  4. Collaboration between people is more important than government efforts. And more effective.

  5. You can make an impact. To magnify your impact, collaborate with others.

  6. Don’t blindly trust your leaders.

  7. Don’t blindly believe the media.

Thinking on the Mind

These articles are definitely of a high academic caliber, but with a little patience and a dictionary on hand you should be able to take some really fascinating ideas about the mind with you.

The editorial board of Cognitive
Science
has identified several classic
articles that appeared in our journal over the last couple of decades.  With the permission of the Cognitive
Science Society
, the full text for these articles is available
here.  Members of our editorial board have also provided descriptions
for why these articles were selected as classics.  Although many other articles could have been selected and may
be added in future lists, these articles were chosen because of their impact,
innovation, and importance in furthering theoretical development in the field
of cognitive science.  Here is
another group's list of 100 classics of cognitive science.  Visit
Lawrence Erlbaum's web page for Cognitive Science
for on-line access to back-issues.

Words that Ring True

David Allen...GTD

Just because we think of something, that doesn’t mean that we are being productive or constructive about or with it, or that it will be fulfilled. We have to realize that the thought itself is just a beginning, and if we care at all that it brings value or improvement, we probably need to capture it, clarify what it means to us, and organize the actions and information embedded or associated with it.
