If the world could strive for one quality and one quality only, I choose SINCERITY. Imagine a world where you didn't have to guess at the motive behind the offer, or people did what they said they were going to do. If that were the case our energies would be devoted to the 'task at hand,' clearly paving the way for superior results. Okay, I was dreaming for just a moment. When you understand the motives behind those people who are most insincere, you'll be leaps and bounds ahead of the volumes of people who become victims.

understanding that

a wad of cash - you wait for what
seems forever - it never comes

8. 7
People who say
'To tell you the
truth' repeatedly
as if they're

the real truth

9. “Sincerity is the fulfillment of our
own nature, and to arrive at it we

23. Brink Thinking is centered around making the irrational rational. Many of
the best inventions and ideas that have impacted society today seemed
irrational until a Brink Thinker thought beyond the absurd. Imagination
helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it
is a fundamental faculty through which people make sense of the world.
Society benefits when imagination and absurdity collide.
