3) Essential skills: THINGS YOU MUST KNOW

THINGS YOU MUST KNOW c <<<<< what key WORDS IN THE FORMULA mean >>>>>

1) ABILITY to APPLY: Being able to combine everything you know & have learned to solve whatever problem you face. 2) KNOWLEDGE: comes from education based on book learning plus years of skills learned through lifes experiences and situations you've faced. 3) DEVELOPED SKILLS: Prob. solving, tool use, critical, analytical and divergent thinking, (see b in) essential skills. 4) EDUCATION: Implies years of formal class study, including books like the Bible. You learn something from every encounter you have in life. 5) Common Sense: now rare, it includes life experiences, a logical, critical & analytical thought process, truth and intelligence. The ability to find what Is available and use it to solve an immediate need or problem. 6) LIFE EXPERIENCE: best teacher if you remember the good & throw out out the bad. It helps you learn skills you might eventually current need. 7) A PROBLEM: is any special situation you face that needs a solution. B) the ESSENTIAL SKILLS are the heart and soul of JIM's unique creative problem solving and design method. Understanding how he learned to combine, mix and apply the elements was the secret of his success, can you figure it out? start out by STUDing THE elements i've selected and listed BELOW TO SEE IF YOu understand & AGREE WITH them and MY DEFINATIONS. if so memorize list and look for opportunities to apply them. There is almost always more than one way to solve a problem. the trick is to descover how elements react when combined. seek the best most accurate and easy to repeat solutions and continue working with them. (keep copyright notebook). learn how the different combinations of elements work when used in different situations - this requires many trial and error attempts. I will continue to apply or update things as I remember them, this is still a work in progress you MUST BE ABLE TO SELECT WHICH COMBINATIONS of elements to USE - EA. SITUATION WILL VARY, it's NOT SIMPLE BUT it's been proven. IT MAY TAKE several YEARS TO UNDERSTAND BUT to whatever level you can do this, IT can be life CHANGING. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C) THE Essential skills/elements LISt (this system has worked over 90% for me for many years, so don't add or change anything in the list)

1) Your Attitude: is very important and you have control of it, think positively & you'll have a happy day, It's all up to you! 2) Common Sense: a form of wisdom, it's the ability to find a solution using WHAT Is available use logical thinking. (IT'S no longer very common). 3) strong Work Ethic: work as hard or as long as it takes to accomplish your goal. Success is usually earned by hard work. 4) Quitting is not an option: it will become a negative habit, Success is built on Winning. those prone to quit become losers. 5) You Must believe in yourself: if you don't THINK you can YOU are defeated before you start & DEVELOP A defeatist attitude. 6) Learn from mistakes: lightbulb took 2,500 tries, Edison said "I never had a Failure, I learned something with every try". 7) Develop application skills: the ability to apply knowledge & use different skills until you find the best path to success. 8) Creative work Experience: after yrs of solving all kinds of problems you learn how to find creative ways to do things. 9) Far-Side Imagination: lucky ones are born with it, but how to apply the ELEMENTS takes time to learn and understand. 10) 'Divergent Thinking Method' You have a goal and you know whaT it is. Everything you do is a step toward reaching it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will continue to update things as I remember them, this web-site is dedicated to help you have a better life, study & learn! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D) The "Elements LisT" above contains key ELEMENTs used as the HEART & soul OF my Creative Design System - Memorize the List. These ideals are crucial to developing Wisdom (see Wisdom formula below). Most of you won't be able to do this unless you believe, focus & keep on working as long as it takes. If YOU ever figure it out, don't tell anyone or you'll lose the adv you worked so hard to gain. DOCUMENT all YOUR WorK from the very start. gOOGLE: HOW TO KEEP RECORDS to COPYRIGHT YOUR WORK. Do tHIS starting day-1 of the project- DO IT to protect your copy rights or it could BECOME the biggest MISTAKE of your life. Jims FORMULA FOR WISDOM: THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEM YOU HAVE.

FREE ENGINEERING SKILLS These sessions can make you better no matter who you are or what you do. I am retired & want to give away my Original METHOD of Creative Problem Solving & design Skills. I have never told anyone ABOUT this method before. I spent 30+ yrs perfecting it AND only thE work-a-holics among you will be able to figure it out. You must be willing to commit the time and effort required to do the work (and never give up) or you'll never be able to do it. Real success comes from dedicated hard work, not cheating or copying what someone else has done. This is why I want you to do it on your own and possibililly take it to another level. It's complex and goes against everything that has been taught in the last 30+ years. To see how it all came to pass READ MY BIO, see what I did STARTING at age 9. Much of my best work was on Top Secret designs for the us Gov. i'm still not free to disclose or discuss SOME OF MY MOST CHALLENGING ACCOMPLISHMENTS. p rojects, when they happaned, or my part in them.

I call my Essential Skills a Unique Method of Creative Problem Solving & Design. It can make you extremely wealthy and very successful in aLMOST ANY career you choose. Two years out of SMU I designed the Brain of the orig. hand held TI Calculator. Now 80+ yrs old I've barely slowed down AND have HAD FOUR different careers so far. Most of the time I've worked at two or MORE jobs at once: i'VE ownED MY OWN Corp KLC Inc. (40+ YRS), I'm now retired from engineering, Teaching, 28 yrs a consultant I have worked for MAJOR COMPANIES, AS A cONSULTIANT FOR Hi- Tech Companies and top Secret us GOVERMENT projects as well.

I Compare my design career with music. First you learn rules then TO PLAY the notes, keys, scales, harmonics, etc. until you "just know what to do to make it all come together". The more you understand the more confidient and better you become. I was All State Band 3 years in a row. I developed special skills not reached by other students but I got bored & set it aside to pursue engineering. eventually I only PLAYed my TenoR Sax but just for fun. I was a perfectionist but had always wanted to be an engineer so thats what I did.

This is what i'm asking you to do, in engineering or whatever you do -try to be the best. There are no shortcuts, to be one of the best takes years of hard work. are you willing to work as hard as it takes to MEET your goals? Who wants to be Average In todays world average would be a step up for most and we're quickly becoming substandard, can you accept that, i hope not.

If you fail to reach your goal: Go back & study "your path" to see where you went wrong. You probably need to rethink how you're mixing the Elements & adjust your choices. It will take years of trial and error to get this down to learning which elements work best in different situations. Eventually you'll become confidient in your skills & solutions will come much quicker and things will just "work out" (Ess Skills #'s 5&7). Success breads success! just BELIEVE!

REMEMBER: This is a mental process, a new way of thinking, not a formula but a method that you are learning to apply. When you combine my Essential Skills with the Wisdom Formula you have an amazing system that I've used for years with huge success. Now it's time for me to pass this on to the next generation. You must develop a through understanding and knowledge of all the elements so by trying many combinations you will learn learn which ones work best for different situations giving you the desired effect needed to solve the prob. you're working on. This is the proccess, trial & error, that you use to learn how to combine the elements and determine which work best in certian situations to give the better chances for success. This is where you do your research - it takes time and effort to do this!

1) Start with known problems and solutions, work backwards to see how to apply the elements to fix it. 2) Do this for many problems so you can gain as much knowledge of how to combine Elements as you can.

3) You will not use many elements per solution but different ones each selected uniquely for that situation.

This method is far to valuable to just give away and I don't have time to teach it so WHAT I OFFER IS LIKE A POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW to any that are willing to put in the time and effort it could be career and life changing! If you decide to take up the challenge and proceed with developing my system then I suggest you don't tell or share information or results of your effort with anyone. You need to learn about how to use "Copywritting Safe guards" to protect your work from someone coming in and stealing your work. In order to develop the skills to understand and develop this method you must be willing to pay the price by taking the time and make a what-ever-it- takes effort to follow through & figure this out. you'll need to apply these principles to many projects to learn how they work in different situations. If it's not worth the time & effort to work as hard as it takes to accomplish your goals then you'll never be able to do it!

Method of design: Develope the ability to select the correct combination of Elements with the Knowledge, understanding and Skills needed to Apply them to solve whatever problem you have. Depending on your skill set it could take two to four years of trying the different elements to catagorize them and figure out how it's done. Copy this information and keep working on it until you do. I will leave this website up until jan 2023 to give you time to copy any parts you want, I suggest pages 1-5 for future reference, Just by trying and remember Ess Skill #4, Never . . . . . . . . .

I believe you will be better off because you tried even if you don't get it because you will learn a lot in the proccess. I also think this will bennefit you in most careers because it will develope a mental toughness missing in todays wimpy education system.

The Elements are Essential: they are a way of thinking, not a formula. To solve your problems you must have a through Knowledge of each Element and how to apply it. You must select the right combination of Elements (one or more) so that when working together they make it possible to find the solution to whatever problem you have. Unfortunately this can take years of effort and trials to develop & hone these unique skills. There may be more than one way to do this, find one that works and move on. The more you do this the easier it will become. Somewhere on the website I equate doing this to music - it applies!

s LEARN THE Essential Skills RULES FOR SUCCESS FIRST. SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND & APPLY THE FORMULA CORRECTLY.

WISDOM = THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING TO SOLVE ANY ISSUE YOU MIGHT BE CONFRONTED WITH. {SEE DEFINATION'S OF WISDOM FORMULA WORDS AND ALSO MORE DETAILS ON THE FORMLA AND THE ELEMENTS LIST DEFINATIONS ARE NEAR THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.
