The Goose with the Golden Egg
A farmer went to the nest of his goose to see whether she had laid an egg. To his surprise he found, instead of an ordinary goose egg, an egg of solid gold. Seizing the golden egg, he rushed to the house in great excitement to show it to his wife.
Every day thereafter the goose laid an egg of pure gold. But as the farmer grew rich he grew greedy. And thinking that if he killed the goose he could have all her treasure at once, he cut her open only to findnothing at all.
Application: The greedy who want more lose all.
Aesops Fables
Most of the answers youre looking for are hidden in your mind: from ideas, products, stories, and experiences to confidence and inner peace. Thats why its so important to explore how your mind works, to know it intimately. Too many people are strangers to their own minds. The key thing to remember is: Like the farmer in this fable of Aesops, you dont have to get all the answers (or eggs) all at once.
This book gives you two golden eggs for exploring your mind. One is the ability to find or create the information you need to realize your goals. The other is the ability to apply this information in productive and meaningful ways. In the process of gaining these golden eggs, you learn how to think like a geniusthat is, to think and see things in new ways, leading to fresh discoveries and inventions.
Becoming more original in your thinking and using your creativity more effectively are the keys to improving the quality of your life. Being a genius doesnt mean that you have to live in some lofty creative world of ideas all the time. It includes using your common sense. As the author Gertrude Stein reminds us, Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. The poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said, Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.
Why would you stick your finger in an electrical socket?!
Genius is thinking of something in a way that no one ever has before. Even though there seems to be nothing new under the sun, there are countless things that have not been discovered, invented, explored, or expressed in depth.
