Its purpose was to holistically organise the information of an organisation. Davenport said that KM was about capturing, distributing, and effectively using knowledge. Gartner Group wanted an integrated approach of identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing of all the enterprise's information assets.In an attempt to achieve this, knowledge was categorized as explicit, implicit, and tacit, where difference was made between collecting and connecting information and between information that is available and that which exists within the mind of a human being. Knowledge is captured in organisations through Lesson Learned Database, Expertise Location, and Communities of Practices (CoPs). Knowledge Management was initially driven by Information Technology. This creation of knowledge was soon coupled with knowledge sharing and finally to the stage of Taxonomy and Content Management. The last was based on the rationali...

This means education has fallen short of its promise, because it has left a very large number of human beings deprived of basic needs of existence. In addition, bizarre diseases, related to the aberrations of the mind, have increased considerably over the years, despite the growth of research in medicine. Why is there dissatisfaction with education despite increase in literacy rates and such elaborate discussions throughout the world on how to make learning interesting and effective? The answer to this is obvious. We link education to passing examinations and going to the next class but not to excellence of existence. Teachers rarely realize that knowledge is not power. Thinking does not come automatically to human beings. They can at best manage arbitrary or elementary thinking. Creative and purposeful thinking has to be taught in schools much more than providing random information

Madness has to do with foolishness and things which are not sensible. It includes things done without thought or control. If we combine the two we can come to some very healthy conclusions. First, that we tend to use words, and these include creativity and madness, rather loosely, often, in contrast to what they actually mean, and in contrast to what can take us from mediocrity to greatness. Second, that all sensible human beings want happiness and abundance. People are miserable when their thoughts and deeds are poor. Third ,that we have to leave the mentally ill in the care of specialist doctors. It is not a topic we can resolve. Fourth, that every human being is creative. He can achieve great things if he is trained to use his mind wisely. We tend to use madness rather loosely. Most of us clamor to be in madly in love without realizing that mad men cannot sustain love. We ar...

It is by all means a blessing and an inspiration. It is better to be intoxicated by hope than to be rationally choked by despair. 1 Emotions are good, even those which are negative, if we know what to do with them. We all experience fear, anger or worry. Most of us succumb to them and go numb. Despite everything that has been said, the pace or position of emotions in relation to logic is of only minor consequence. Human beings create excellence when they superimpose their creative thoughts on their emotions. This is how despair turns into hope and hope turns into achievements. This creates a faultless body and a blameless mind. The two together create abundance. Hope is a feeling and a sensation based on what will happen in the future. Since hope is a positive emotion, the feeling of what will happen in the future, is also positive. Despair and hope are complimentary. There can be no ...
