Pondering On Judgment

 

It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity

that great things are achieved,

but by reflection, force of character, and judgment. 

Marcus Tullius Cicero

 

 

I walk.  I meander.  I ponder. I wonder.  As I wander.   I can do all these things at once.  At times I do this and more. Sometimes it is more focused.  Some might say it's mindless.  Multi-tasking perhaps.

 

Judgment is defined as the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.  

 

 

 I don't suggest it is a cure-all for everyone.  It works for me. A part of me. Not every part.   Maybe it will work for you too.  Maybe not.  Just some thoughts as I wander and wonder.  And just because I ponder.

I ponder often or maybe it's called over thinking things but I am a planner but think I spend too much time planning. I should just ponder on this. Love the quote.

Endre Barath, Jr. - I thought you would like this quote.  When I first read it, I liked it as well.

James Dray - the ability to focus on one thing and not to multi-task is not necessarily such a simple task.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Wherefore art thou Cicero? Dost thou have my car keys?
Nay, say he. Nevermore. Now sleep, perchance to dream.
Ponder thy judgment on the morrow. 

History lesson: Tiro was a servant of Cicero. He created a shorthand system known as notae in Latin to write down the wise words of his master. Scribes who used the notae system became known as notarius, and public scribes were known as notarius publicus, which we now know as notary public.

Pondering is good - but my mind sure does come up with some odd topics to ponder now and then.

Michael,

Like Endre Barath, Jr. I am big fan of Cicero.  We both are known to really think things through, and we work at having a 360 degree point of view when it comes to decisions.  We have a mythical bulletin board where we put our ideas.. It is the way we work.  Things do come clearer on a long walk.   A

I was, at first, thinking this post was going to be about being judgey - as opposed to using good judgment. Very different mindsets. :) Ponder and wander.

So Michael, is it an opinion of a judgment you are looking for or a decision of the judgment...I guess I am wandering or maybe pondering...

Jerry Lucas -- very interesting.  Thank you for the comment which adds so much to the topic.  

Marte Cliff - odd or not-so-odd makes wandering and wondering turn in to some intriguing pondering.

Alexandra Ron and Alexandra Seigel - and clarity is a good thing.  But so is questioning.  There may be some benefits in the lack of clarity too.  Hmm...more pondering perhaps.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 -- and it may be found while not even "looking".  It happens and sometimes when we don't expect it.

Love Cicero's quote - certainly something to ponder as you wander, Michael! 

There was a question in Q&A earlier this week about making judgements on online photos of individual agents. I thought this was the direction you were going with this post when I read the title! I like this form of 'judgement' much better!
