Recognize the Power and Limits of Mental Models
Running the Miracle Mile
The urge to struggle lies latent in everyone. The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, “You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.” The human spirit is indomitable.
- What are the “four-minute miles” that hold you back in your personal and work life?
- How can you challenge them? For each limit, ask yourself: What possibilities would be opened if this barrier were no longer here? How can I get rid of it?
- Are there others who are already challenging the limits of these models, and can you follow quickly in their footsteps?
- What are the challenges and risks of adopting these new models? Is the world ready for them?
