Holding firmly to truth

I learned a new word today.

Satyagraha is a three-step instrument of change, not a mere act of protest.

The first step is to object to an unjust law or policy and petition for its removal. Absent an acceptable response, the second step is to break the law. The third step is to undergo the consequences, be they arrest, violence, abuse or privation.

Satyagraha means "holding firmly to the truth" in Hindi and by following the process, remaining focused and calm within one's belief.

4. Make it easy for your community to do the important things.
5. Surprise is overrated.

I understand lesson 5 as don't surprise. Open communications beyond the inner circle. Let everyone who wants to know what Mozilla is doing knows what they are doing.

Curiosity Management

How can we be learned people? The answer lies in using our curiosity. When we come across things that we feel curious about, what do we do? We find answers for them. A-ha! This is the way to being learned people.

Curiosity Management Process

1. Be curious.
2. Create opportunities for us to be curious.
3. Record what makes us curious.
4. Ask questions.
5. Find learning resources.
6. Ask learning resources questions.
7. Record what learning resources help us to answer the questions.

As we answer more curiosities, we learn more. As we learn more, we become learned people.
