Ingredients and a Clever Hat.I have given this much thought, indeed, too much thought but I have found, not in any particular place, certainly no place that can be illustrated on a map or drawn through the mind of a person using an instrument such as a pencil or pen, but I have found that all a person really needs are ingredients and a clever hat.I have begun to, though in hindsight, as I was unaware, I began some time back, to explore the precise ingredients that drive what one does and may do. An ingredient is not necessarily an edible substance, as one may assume, but rather for the purposes of this exploration, an ‘ingredient’ is a component, working in tandem with other components to drive ones creative being.Following discussions, often presided over a stout and quite often on a wooden Tuesday on wooden tables, with like-minded and great able thinkers, the ‘ingredients’ can be described as being that of ‘will’, ‘wit’ and ‘balls’. Different people may interpret the ingredients differently but the spine of the principle is the same. An exact definition of the ingredients is not necessary, it should be obvious and this is not the place to describe them as such a task may lose your attention.But what is the use of a hat? A hat is most important. Indeed, no ordinary hat will do as it is essential that it is a ‘clever’ hat. Again, it is up to you to decide what such a clever hat involves. However, the hat must contain a conical feature, as a person’s thoughts must have room to roam in an area that is governed by the mathematical constant of 'pi'. I suggest a little research into the culture of ancient Greece to understand this.Follow this pattern and success may follow. Of course, that completely depends on what you percieve success to be. No one person can proclaim to know what this is, however, a decision has been made and some great days await.
