It may seem like a small thing, well a couple of things. You mentioned using your gut feelings. President Bush said something similar. That bothers me because I know that few people know Cognitive Therapy. That says that all feeling have a thought behind them. We have to bring the thought into mind and test it to see if it's true. Feelings have a thought or thoughts behind them and they can be true or false. Everything, then is subject to logic. If we have a gut reaction, it's often true. It shouldn't be dismissed easily at all, but you have to ask yourself, what does it mean. Why do I feel that way and since they are so important, even after understanding them it's good to keep looking for more information. The free world is hanging on those decisions. Scripture might say to test them to see if they are from God, that is to say, workable, reasonable, true and fit with everything else you know and believe. Sometimes it takes a lot of asking yourself questions, not making judgments, just asking for explanations. Those rules are consistent scripturally and scientifically, from the results of extensive study and confirmation. That's my first concern. If you need help, be humble, ask.

Secondly, the thought you expressed of working 16 hours a day, or some such. No way. If you follow the rules of how to think, ask if you don't know. Bush deligated, but didn't follow up on what they where doing. The government needs an administrator or many such, but it needs an inspired person overseeing. A good adminstrator is worth their weight in gold, but they still come a dime a dozen. Not many people are as inspired as your going to need to be. None were quit good enough except one. You also need to be listening to solutions from the people, 100 million strong. You have incredible geniuses out here. Why do all the work yourself? And intuition. Let the brain do the work and access it with intuition, better than a gut reaction. The rule is the same test it rigorously also, but only after you find out what sense it's trying to make and why the intuition came. It has a reason to be, so take it seriously. Why you had that intuition comes with the intuition. so look deaply into it. Don't listen to me. Test it yourself and listen to Einstein when he said, the only real thing is intuition, the only valuable thing is intuition. I believe that that saying is more important than his other theories, which he said he intuited also. Oprah said she followed her intuition. You can hardly find anyone famous who didn't. That's inspiration. Do that and you can get home to your family sometime and set a good example for all of us. You can do some work at home, but keep humble like me.
