My mind got to wandering a couple of days ago and I thought about what it takes to be really competent at something. Maybe because I am listening to some really good musical artists.
If you look over the areas of life in which you are the most competent you will probably see that the following holds true.
First you had to be willing to face or Confront the subject. You did not say, “Oh, I couldn’t confront doing THAT!”
You then had to Communicate with either the theory or the objects of the subject to Learn about them.
Once you gained a certainty on the theory/objects of the subject you acquirecd Knowledge.
To increase your competence you Drilled the doingnesses of the subject to acquire Competence.
As you continued to Apply the doingnesses you would Review your actions to see if they obtained the desired product and, if not, you would Revise your actions to imrove the quality or quantity of the final product.
And if you continue to Apply, Review and Revise you can get to a VERY high level of Competence.
Again, the steps are:
ConfrontCommunicateLearnUnderstandKnowDrill the ActionsCompetenceApplyReviewRevise
I know, CCLUKDCARR is not a great sounding acronym but the sequence wasn’t set to conform to a nice sounding acronym it was listed to help you teach someone what it takes to be as good as you are at what you do best.
Hope it helps!

On Government
My sensibilities are continually assaulted by the huge disparity between the existing scene and what I hold to be an ideal scene for society.
And if it is true that we get that on whcih we put our attention, then I better start putting my (and a lot of other people’s as this reality is created by agreement) attention on what it is we consider desirable!
So I tender this draft:
The Purpose of a Government:To provide a peaceful, secure operating and living environment for our citizens and neighbours to be free from oppression so they can flourish and prosper.To provide a clean, unpolluted environment (land, air, water and sea) that supports and encourages abundant plant, animal, bird and human life.
The Product of a Government:A safe environment, secure internally and from exterior threat where the population are free to pursue constructive goals without oppression.Abundant highly arable land sufficient to accommodate our present and future food needs and provide excess with which we can help less fortunate neighbours in times of famine or crisis.Fresh, clean, unpolluted water in abundance of our present and future needs.A healthy, ethical, educated population, competent in communication, coexistence, logic and problem solving and broadly and extensively skilled in their chosen endeavour.
As you can reasily see, the governments that we have must be working on other purposes and products or there must be huge opposition to the attainment of the above, or both, as we do not have what most would think desirable.
I consider that we need to be continually putting the attention of the govenment on the above (or a better version of it) and start holding the members accountable for the non-attainment of the proper product of government!
Letting rioters and looters destroy property and harm or kill people is the exact opposite of proper government and any governor, mayor or police chief who lets this happen on their watch should be summarily dismissed with no pension and charged with treason on their post.
