In celebration of Frankenstein Day & Mary Shelley’s Birthday.
Ms. Shelley, born on August 30, 1797, wrote the book, Frankenstein in 1818.
The quote is froma letter written by Robert Walton to his sister. Walton is captain of a ship headed on a dangerous voyage to the North Pole. In the first letter, he tells his sister of his burning desire to accomplish “some great purpose”—discovering a northern passage to the Pacific, revealing the source of the Earth’s magnetism, or simply setting foot on undiscovered territory.
What is your purpose?
What is the purpose of your work?
What is the purpose of your team?
Identify purpose to tranquilize the mind – calming the crazy clutter that tends to create blocks and detours to success.
Speaking of clutter and detours, in Frankenstein, Ms. Shelley created Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Frankenstein created a monster. Are you by any chance creating any monsters in your world?
Post this week’s quote on the walls. Post on your computer (see instructions below). Post it everywhere as a reminder to clarify purpose and be aware of monster creation. Do both and you will boost morale, productivity and overall performance.
