Mark Edward Brown's Blog

I just read a powerful quote about how one man who was dubbed “An Original Thinker” proclaimed that the greatest discovery of his generation was that people could change their lives by changing their attitudes.

Now I am sure that frame of thought is not new to you and you have probably heard it before however before I share with you that quote in it’s entirety I want to share one more fact that is crucial to making this entire concept work.

Being a leader is not easy but it is worth it, with that being said, you should know that I am not going to just place a quote on this blog without doing some research to ensure that this information is genuine.

Today, the average adult’s attention span is 15 to 20 minutes in length, that means that if they are concentrating it is only possible to do so for 15 to 20 minutes however when there are instant messages poping up and message notifications coming in etc there is no way for an average adult to comprehend anything.

Where am I going with this you ask?  Read the following quote and then we will continue:

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”    -William James

I pulled this information from the Stanford University website and to my astonishment Mr. James died in 1910!

If a critical thinker who died in 1910 had it figured out and now you know how to apply the concept armed with the knowledge that you can only focus your attention for a set period of time, why not give it a try?

I have applied it and I can tell you that it works, let me know if it works for you.

Always to Your Success,

Mark Edward Brown
