No. 90: Why We Need to Emulate Scientists**** ********** Did you know you can now literally live without breathing? Who would have thought it possible? That an injection of a man made particle into your bloodstream can keep you alive, and well – even when you’re not breathing – for up to 30 LONG minutes! Many struggle to believe Napoleon Hill’s famous “Whatever the human mind can conceive it can achieve” assertion. Well, this scientific breakthrough(clik to read) mentioned in an August 2012 article proves it! This issue of my Speaking IDEAS newsletter highlights valuable lessons we can learn from scientists. Scientists Are Masters at Making Impossible Things Our Everyday RealitiesRead this amazing report, and marvel: Scientists at Boston University have invented an oxygen particle that if injected in the blood, allows you to stay alive without breathing. I’ve long held the opinion that scientists are some of the most emotionally intelligent people on the planet. Daniel Goleman explained in his book on “Emotional Intelligence (EI)” that to be emotionally intelligent, you must learn to control and use your emotions to achieve improvements in performance and learning. Among other examples, he mentioned “Ability to persevere in spite of adversity or frustration i.e. things going wrong” as an important dimension of EI. They Use Their Setbacks & Mistakes as Stepping Stones to SuccessConducting experiments in remote laboratories, and most times not finding what you want, can be a tough psychological challenge to handle. Yet scientists dedicate decades of their lives to doing just that. Edison reportedly failed with over 9,000 experiments, before discovering the tungsten filament that made light bulbs possible. Then he famously proclaimed, based on his experience: Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. From the way they work, his fellow scientists apparently agree. Some do it because they’ve lost a loved one to an ailment with no cure, and dedicated their lives to finding one. For others it’s just about creating a legacy, and/or exploring new frontiers, to help mankind take quantum leaps. For instance, Dr. John Kheir, who reportedly initiated the research work that led to this breakthrough, got the inspiration after losing a patient. An unexpected filling of her lungs with blood occurred during surgery. They were unable to drain it out, and get oxygen to her brain before fatal damage was done. But today, those same doctors have put that bad experience to good use (Isn’t that what Zig Ziglar kept telling us to do? Why do we keep forgetting…or refusing to believe ?). Millions of lives can now be saved – ensuring that the loss of that young girl’s life was not in vain. The benefits are obvious. And not just in medicine. Military personnel who have to work underwater can fall back on it, if their breathing gear fails. Private sector applications will undoubtedly evolve over time. Scientists Perform Miracles Because They Refuse to Give Up On Us: But We Take Them for Granted!Most people would rather not be stuck in a lab, wearing unfashionable white coats, and looking into microscopes day and night. Yet we expect scientists to do just that. We wait on them to discover the next miracle cure. Ironically, they are just as human as we are. But they don’t let themselves get frustrated by setbacks. If they did, there would be no new cures or medical breakthroughs for us to celebrate or look forward to! Most of these guys simply do not know how to quit. A quote I recently read (tweeted by @KarenKeller, and re tweeted by Lia Han @bemycareercoach) says: “Life has two rules: (1). Never Quit. (2). Always Remember rule No. 1.” I’m convinced many successful scientists strictly abide by the above mentioned rules. How to Emulate Scientists: When Something Gets In Your Way, Simply Change Gears & Accelerate!I actually think we, as experts-who-speak, can harvest many useful insights, for use in delivering talks (and in serving clients as experts), by studying scientists more closely. Here’s how… What do you do when you drive up to a muddy stretch of road that you know your car could get stuck in? You’re likely to change gears, and then step on the accelerator pedal to gain additional traction. Well, why not do the same thing in your life? Whenever you get to the inevitable rough and hilly terrains in life, change gears and step on it! Yes, behave the way you do when driving. But this time it will be your life, not your car. You’ll leave that challenge far behind you in no time. Jim Rohn wrote: “Smile at adversity and act quickly to eliminate it”. He was right. Final Words: One More Reason Why You Need to Emulate Scientists As An Expert-Who-SpeaksThis business of life is not just about you. There is a world out there that needs you to make the most of yourself. Every time you don’t, one or more people will be denied the help they require. You have an obligation to not let that happen. The scientists understand this. And that’s why even after they achieve a breakthrough, they celebrate and then get back to work. They know more people who need help, depend on them to do so! You, as an expert-who-speaks, must realize you have a similar role to play in the lives of your target audience. The only difference is simply that while scientists develop life-giving/improving solutions, you deliver life-changing/enhancing messages. Ultimately both target audience groups live richer lives when we do our work right. You may be successful already, but that does not mean your work is done. I therefore urge you to go back and think up the next new idea or message to turn the lives of your target audiences around for the better. You can get valuable guidance and help here. This final Jim Rohn quote provides a fitting end to this piece: “Always be eager to learn, no matter how successful you might already be. In the Millionaires’s Club, we sometimes invite a billionaire to come talk to us. He says, ‘You’re doing okay, but come on. How about if you really poured it on!'” Need More Details of How to Make The Above Ideas Work for YOU?If you need more specific details of how to make use of the ideas I’ve shared in this newsletter, send me a message using this request form (with “Re: Why We Need to Emulate Scientists ” in the subject line).
