The Suicidal Moment can be a Great Opportunity

by Fredric Matteson - CCT Founder

It has been said that the word "Crisis" in Chinese is made up of two "radicals" or symbols: the first one means "Danger", the second one means "Opportunity." This means that if the context of the crisis is NOT known, the crisis can be very "dangerous" - but if the context of the crisis IS known, the crisis can be a tremendous "opportunity." Context is everything. No context, no meaning. Cognition cannot work without context.
