Can every person use Synthesis technology approaches and become a truly effective person? No, not everyone. Everyone can use its elements, effective techniques and techniques, but an effective person is more than a collection of techniques.
The main axes of the philosophy of life are asked by two questions:
First:
How much do you need in life, what is the bar of your life?
Second:
Who is responsible for your success?
And these questions can be answered in different ways.

“He is a small man. And this is a BIG MAN!” — what is the conversation about? First of all, about the size of the Circle of Concerns. At all Small child not only preoccupied only with himself, he also cannot fully serve himself. Young man — they talk about someone who is busy only with himself. Adult — the one who provides for himself, plus supports not only himself, but also his family, brings up children and supports parents. Big man — they call someone who, in addition to this, conducts his own business or does great things, on whom the lives and destinies of many people depend. great person — the one whose influence extends to the fate of many for years to come.
A normal Mexican peasant or a native of the sunny country of Kenya will lie under his happy palm tree and will only smile lazily at any proposal to change something in his life: “What the hell?” He does not need anything, because he needs little. He has his minimum, everything else requires effort — and then why? The philosophy of maximum success in life is not clear to the main population of these countries, and the willingness to pay for this success with work and effort is not close. This is not just laziness, this is an appropriate understanding of life, where the ability to relax is more valuable than any achievement.
In itself, laziness is not a vice at all, laziness in the history of mankind has been one of the main engines of progress. I don’t want to carry a log on me — I invented the wheel. The desire for comfort relaxes one under the nearest bush, even in the mud, even in the rain, the other motivates at first to make at least the simplest shed for himself, and then build a house with all conceivable amenities.
A lover of comfort under a bush is called a lazy person, a lover of comfort by the fireplace in his own house is called a businessman, Leader. A leader needs a lot in life. This is a person who strives and wants, this is a living person, a person “with a motor”, a person who is an activist. It is a hunter and a conqueror: a hunter of success and a conqueror of life.
Academician A.D. Sakharov once uttered an unexpected phrase in an interview: “The meaning of life is occupation.” Yes, for a leader, this is always the case. Every real man is a conqueror of the universe. Whether, as a growing entrepreneur, you want to occupy the market with your product, or, as a new leader, you are carefully looking for an opportunity to make these people your own and become an authority for them; if you are a leader, you are a conqueror. The meaning of life is occupation. And if you fell in love with the most beautiful woman in the world, you occupy her soul with your love at the utmost tension, after which the beloved woman densely occupies your home and your life with meaning and warmth.
- The most famous computer game of a strategic direction (that is, one where you don’t have to wet toothy monsters with a plasma gun, but you have to think with your head) is “Civilization”. Its goal is to spread its political influence, culture, scientific achievements throughout the planet. And, not necessarily by violent means. However, at first, the authors tried to create a completely «non-aggressive» game, where you do not need to spread your influence, but you just need to peacefully neighbor. It came out nonsense. As in life.
A true leader knows how to be content with little, but always strives forward, strives for truly big goals. He needs a lot in life, he needs the whole world.
So, how much do you need in life, what is the bar for your life?
