Played by actors William Shatner and Christopher Pine, Captain James Tiberius Kirk on the Star Trek show and movies once admitted he got creative and cheated on his commando exam called the Kobayashi Maru because he hated losing more than anything. Well, if you really don’t want to lose, I can only give you this advice: cheat honestly and productively in the most creative and beneficial way possible. what do I want to say with that?

Face it, the most positive and creative form of cheating is innovation and genuine creativity that raises the bar(s) in whatever game is being played. Almost like Michael Jefferey Jordan and Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Jr. taking the sport of basketball to a new level with their exploits or Lee Iacocca and Thomas Boone Pickens or Harold Sydney Geneen with ITT in business. I understand. If you can’t beat the game, raise the bar through game-enhancing creativity and create a whole new level of reality and strategy. for the game being played.

Talking about ITT, and specifically ITT Technical Institute when it was a viable school. The real key to passing courses at that school was creativity and innovation with technology and nothing else. After all, why do you think you got an infamous kit with tools and a box of microchips that you had to “do something” with during course work anyway?

My point there is that the best solutions are the creative and productive ones that really raise the bar. That is the essence of the positive or beneficial “cheat” that works to improve the quality of life and “play” in any game of reality.

While writing this article, I was faced with an internal comparison of negative shortcuts and cheats, and positive shortcuts and cheats, and came to this reality: Positive cheating is an innovative strategy that is more difficult than playing straight. the game excellently or be genuinely competent, usually without cheating. I mean, face it, all greatness comes through the positive trappings and creativity that I’m writing about.

In fact, to raise the bar for reality, there needs to be positive cheating, creative solutions, and realistic thinking that raises the bar, and innovative thinking behind that realistic thinking that transcends the game in some sense. But, I’m not talking about negative cheating or destructive cutbacks at all. I mean totally positive trappings and creativity that works best. Because some other philosophers have said that “lying is the lowest order of creativity” in different and thousands of ways. I’ll raise the bar and say this: To really win, you need to genuinely transcend all the current rules. In short: Growth. Napoleon Hill even wrote a certain book based on the concepts I am writing about called “Think and Grow Rich” And how do you think the Motown and Stax record companies really created all their great innovative and exciting music in the 1960s? Yes, growth, transcendence and raising the bar creativity and positive trapping. Apply this principle to life and become great. Without this, everything is mediocre and “just survives” with the “necessary effort.” If you really want to win, start here by fully understanding the last two sentences.
