If It Weren't For Add, We Might Not Have The Theory Of Relativity

Were you a question machine when you were a kid? How come dogs can poop outside, but you won't let me? Why do raspberries have seeds? How do you know for sure that Santa Claus is watching me every single day? Doesn't he have more important things to do?

If you were lucky, your parents made up some kind of answer, if they didn't know it already. But, more often than not, kids that ask a lot of questions are told to keep still. If you have ADD, this was probably you, and it probably made you feel weird because people just got so exasperated with all your questions.

I know I was just determined to figure out how things work--everything. My brain wouldn't rest until I knew why things are the way they are.

With many kids, ADD doesn't just go away when they grow up. So, ADD adults are still asking questions, wondering about everything from their job to their baby's development. The whole thing about that is that our questions make other people uncomfortable. When we ask a whole bunch of questions, it just throws them off track. But we see things from so many different angles! Yet, because there are so many more linear-thinkers than adults with ADD, we're the ones who feel out of place.

Why?

That's because most people just hate to ask questions at all. They feel stupid, and get embarrassed. When we're there asking tons of questions, it frustrates them and throws everything out of whack.

Yet, getting answers to questions that nobody else really thinks about can be very empowering. Not only are you able to spark new ideas that lead to bigger and better plans at the office, and you may get a million-dollar plan of your own. You need to take that idea and get started with it immediately! Right away, not sometime... Now.

So, what if it's not a million-dollar idea, after all? What if it kind of sucks? Oh, well. Finish what you started anyway. Never put the first thing away because you're already thinking about the second and third things that you want to work on.

Just don't do it! Finish your first idea, and maybe use parts of the 2nd and 3rd ideas that work with what you're already working on. You'll have a gazillion more ideas after these, so don't worry about losing just a couple. You really aren't losing them at all. You're using them to make your original project stronger.

Here's the thing: Never stop asking questions, even when the people around you are fidgeting and uncomfortable. Then, be sure to implement your great idea, even if you find out later that it sucks. Trial and error is what it's about, not trial and abandon.

Think about this: If it wasn't for Einstein's ADD, were would we be in the development of the theory of relativity?

Adult ADD: Use ADD To Make Their Day (And Yours)...
If you’re not getting what your want out of life, it’s not because you have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), you’re a bad person, you don’t have anything to offer the rest of the world, any learning disability, background, or how much money you have. It’s all whether or not you can communicate what’s on your mind in an effective way. Where I'm from, people don’t generally walk around smiling and hugging you when they first meet you. What I found was that when I said, “How’s it going?” almost...

When You Think You Have Add
It's only been about 20 years since the medical community changed their thinking on ADD. Yet, many doctors still hold the belief that ADD disappears once people grow up. Adults with attention deficit know differently. Though many learn to control their symptoms as adults, for others, it's impossible, and they continue to struggle with short attention spans for anything outside their sphere of interest and other symptoms related to attention deficit. However, you may think you have attention...

Adult ADD: Focus Ideas, Complete A Plan
How does the ADD brain process ideas? For most people, ADD shows up in early childhood. You’re sitting in the car and start asking questions of whomever is driving. “Are we there yet?” What makes the car run? Why do the clouds move? and on and on, until you get some answers! ADD can be a blessing and a curse. When you are asking that many questions (unless you happen to have a parent, guardian, or teacher in your life, who really understands how your ADD brain works), this behavior is...

List-Building: The Mindset Factor
Let's talk about realizing what kind of list you're building. This is a very, very important consideration. You have to realize what mindset your list members are in. So, maybe you're gathering an audience for a teleseminar about health and wealth product of some kind, the people you attract will be interested in health and wealth. They probably won't be interested in nonsense. They're not interested in wasting time. Of course, there's no doubt going to be some crossover. The problem is that...

When Women Have Adult ADD
Maybe you were shocked to learn that you had ADD when you took your child for an evaluation. The truth is that ADD runs in families. There's a 25 - 35% likelihood that if you have ADD, your child may have it, too. You can't feel bad about it and be depressed because you think that your son or daughter has ADD because of you. That kind of thinking is just depressing. On the other hand, you may have been relieved to learn that the feelings you'd had since childhood were actually ADD. You could...

Add Hyperfocus, Determination, And Persistence
Two important qualities that all successful people have are determination and persistence. But when you have ADD, the persistence part can be quite difficult But let's take a step back. What makes someone determined? There are many meanings of that word, but the one meaning we want to concentrate on here is the firmness of purpose or resolve. It's a burning desire the kind of determination that motivates you to action. Yet, determination alone won't lead to success. Only persistence will....

Getting Cooperation At Work When You Have Add
Can you believe that about 284 parents of 1,134 said they wouldn't want their kids to be friends with another kid who has ADHD? This study was reported in Science Daily and it wasn't 10 or 15 years ago, it was March 21, 2007!* What's wrong with these people? Could it be the medical community's classification of AD/HD as a mental illness? That's just ridiculous. AD/HD does have its limitations, but is high intelligence and high creativity a disability? No! Get into the mindset that you rock...

Adult Add And Cloudy Communications
If you're someone with adult ADD or ADHD, how often do you have circular conversations? You know the kind. You go 'round and 'round with someone, and you're both saying the exact same thing, but you can't make yourself understood? Isn't that frustrating? Is it possible for someone AD/HD to have less stress in their communications? The frustration you're feeling comes from a sense of imbalance because you're misunderstood. Feelings of Nobody Understands Me promote your sense of loneliness that...

List-Building: Start With Your Passion; The List Will Follow
People new to Internet Marketing often ask me, What’s the best way to start in Internet marketing? I’m going to tell you a story about myself as a case study. When I started, I had no HTML experience, and I couldn’t put up a decent web page. I sucked at writing copy and I didn’t know how to edit audio. I didn’t know what an autoresponder series was, I didn’t know how to make a redirect, and I didn’t know how to approach people properly for a joint venture. I had no idea that building a list...

List Building Via PPC
Pay-per-click is something you should know about. Pay-per-click isn’t something you absolutely have to know about immediately, but it's definitely something you should learn. But how do list building and PPC work together? Starting your list building strategy with co-reg and JV deals are really the quickest, best, and least expensive ways that take the least amount of brain power for automatic list building. You’re really looking to build your list to several thousand as quickly as you can....
