Leadership FX-Intensive by Neculai Fantanaru

Be ready to take your leadership to a higher level, through an extension of the experience of finding something real, of which you can very well be doubtful of.

One of my little cravings of enriching myself intellectually, doubled by the force of experiences of knowledge Meinanserba(full of dreams), was given by the attempt of drawing a ditch in time, through the years of a final clarification with life, with people, with a thinking almost forgotten, a sort of imaginary return in each step of the history of the world. I wonder if the relationship between artist and the art of writing can be given by the facts and data, interwoven in time by the woken and conscious reason, when you remain stationary for longer than necessary inside a world in which you don’t recognize yourself?

My patience was put to the challenge every time when, in the mirage of a meeting with older or newer heroes, of which I’m sure you’d like to read about, the force of the intellectual in me burst towards am investigative "given that", as if waiting for an imminent verdict from random distributions of events. No one could know how long an eternity of a moment in another would take, when your shadow is carried through an accessory of effect called: disorientation.

Can you overcome the impression of monotony of realism, creating an artistic vision that captures not only visual complexity, but also your inner subtleties and contradictions?

For each detail, for every small acquisition of findings, spread over the entire plane of certain thanks and accusations of old mentalities, corresponded the depiction of short escapes from the landscape of vision of the world, from the perspective of something in which I was and was not. Without direct involvement, but with effects over the suggestiveness I tried to build and exceed altogether.

Condemning me to a much too harsh sentence, according the philosophical, scientific, dogmatic, cultural, and religions findings and contradictions of past times, for which an artist would easily ask himself the question: "What is the distinctive trait of the realism if the sole purpose remains the signaling of a visual perception of things and events, without taking note of their negative part?", I would get the strong impression of gray. Which I now wanted to share with you all.

Can you put yourself in the position of short escapes from the landscape of a vision of the world, comparing what you know from the perspective of something in which you are and are not?

Here, for example, was the thinking of Victor Hugo’s century, deceptive at times, making me believe that everything had an explanation, but not really one that was easy to accept:

"To give up the earth in exchange for paradise means to give the sparrow from your hand for the crow on the fence. To let yourself be deceived by infinity. I am nothing. My name is Mr. Count Nothing, senator. Did I exist before I was born? No. Will I exist after death? No. What am I? A handful of dust made into a body. What is my purpose on this earth? I have a choice. To suffer or enjoy myself. Where does suffering lead me? Into the void. But I will also suffer. Where will delight lead me? Into the void. But I will have had joy in my life. I have a choice. You have to eat or be eaten. I eat. It is better to be a tooth than to be grass. This is my wisdom."

Walking unsure with the key of what I have noticed on the path of returning to the ages, in vain for the latter acceptance of thoughtful renewal, I continued my effort of finding forgotten truths. With the only mention that the fitting of things and conceptions in the equation of my own being, in the middle of a comfortable life of a man who masters the art of discovering and changing meanings, through everything I say today, will be taken out of the context of the analysis of tomorrow. It is better to forget the past than remember it, if you want to experience the present. This is my wisdom.

“Something in which you are and you are not” translates through the effort of acquiring a vision of renewing your inner world by realizing that this world can become the focal point of a story that takes you to other worlds – of the great creators.

For a better explanation of the consideration of my perception in the limits of a knowledge lacking experience, but persists that dose of understanding and acceptance of foreign points of view, well-argued, there needs to be a comparison with what I already know from the perspective of what I am or am not. Or from the perspective of what I have or have not.

In leadership, this translates to building certainties on the support of diversified expectations: optimistic or pessimistic.

Leadership is an extension of the experience of finding something real, of which you can very well be doubtful of, positive or negative, from which lies a certain wisdom – a sum of perceptions that, reinforced through repetition, become defining constants and thus create the typology of a distinct personality.

But matching certain perceptions, arguments and concepts in the equation of your own being, without a direct involvement in the action of reality, meaning when you remain stationary for longer than necessary inside a world in which you do not recognize yourself, leads to a completely uninspired result that determines your isolation. The more you find out, the greater your disorientation is and the harsher you become when judging things.

The wisdom that emerges in the history of a creation is an extension of the experience of learning something true, of which you can doubt as well, with the fact that everything around you exists along with you in a game played with reality.

"This Is My Wisdom" says an accomplished intellectual who, by reading and learning, reacting through a balanced judgement of causes and effects, manages to better self-analyze himself and realize what kind of man he is: a man of the past, present or future.
