Do we heed to that advice in our business? Where do you hang out? What is your business surrounded by? Have you heard about Christian Huygens? This genius of early 17th century did something awesome. He discovered a law of resonance. A law which was well accepted in physics later and is now being applied to brain science. Huygens kept few pendulum clocks on wall of his room with each clock swinging independently. He discovered that after few cycles of independent cycling all clocks started swinging precisely synchronized rhythm. And he gave world a law that seems inherent law of nature. He summarized that waves from clocks produced vibrations in wall which in response produced waves that synchronized rhythm of all clocks. Scientists have now extended that law to working of brain waves and results are very -very promising. Have you ever wondered that successful peoples are surrounded by similar ones?
