People and Culture
When the project team wanted to implement new electronic communication in police cars they wondered about how to do this across the state.
They figured out that police are really good at reacting to a critical situations and not so good at planning and organising and preparing.
They decided that implementation teams would arrive unannouced and immediately require compliance and implementation from each police station. The result was that police team worked within their normal operating envirnment

Lending
When you lend money you want to know will the person pay it back.
You have to assume things during this process. What is it ok to assume?
Is it ok to assume there current salary will continue?
Is it ok to assume house prices will rise?
Is it ok to take into account illegal earning?
Is it ok to take thier word for it?
Fundimentally I think that as with life you should start with principles. What are your Principles? Then follows process and action.

Happiness
Does comparison make us happy?
Do we need to be able to compare ourselves to be happy?
Compared to others,
Compared to ourselves 5 years ago........
I hope not but perhaps there are no absolutes, perhaps we cannot be good at tennis without implicitly being better than others.
But then is we have a sense of humour that means we make people laugh, does that imply that others are not funny? What about if we are kind to someone, is that only kind because other have not been. Does kindness only exist next to rudeness or can kindness relate to taking time to think and act with regard to anothers needs.

Forgiving
Why are we so accepting of our own failing while being so hard on others?
Why do we work so hard to look for the negatives and even figure out ways to turn positives to negatives?
