I can think of four things:\n\n1) Read books.  They will help you form a frame of reference for what people are talking about.  Turn off the TV - it is too passive.  Work that BRAIN!  A good place to start is the book of Proverbs in the Bible.  You might be amazed at the cool stuff in there.  Read a couple of those proverbs a day.\n\n2) Spend a few minutes with friendly people each day, in an atmosphere that encourages creativity and sharing.  Being  a "wise-acre" or smart-aleck will only get you so far.  It needs to be in a positive setting.  Be a good listener, and think about ways that you can encourage the positive things in a person's life.  The Bible says that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."  So, if you find yourself equating "clever" with "negative," time for a heart check.\n\n3) Live in the moment.  You mentioned being alert in the workplace.  What could cause you NOT be be alert?  Living in the past?  Worrying about the future?  Relax, and take time to observe what's really going on around you.\n\n4) Ask God for help - if He wants you to have this skill, then He will give it to you.  It is a gift, and you must be ready to accept it.  Don't know if you are a Christian or not - but I believe that God is the source of all good things.\n\nFinally - don't equate a quick one-liner with "fast thinking."  The key is discipline - knowing when to say something, and when to keep silent.\n\nGod bless you in your journey.

There is a wonderful CD entitled "Awakened Mind System" by Jeffrey Thomson. I had been skeptical about it until I listened to it, but it really does help.

Well...how pro-active do you consider yourself? it depends a lot! but I'd say check all systems around, check servers status, browse some IT webpages in order to learn more, take a break, go back and keep looking around for new updates, make a list of current software installed on yor servers and PC's on the network then take a chat with someone there at office, NOT CHAT, and so make good friends around that way they'll ask you lots of questions that you'll be able to respond! Combine all this activities all days and or invent new ones, those are just samples, then you'll see how fun is your job!  Bye!

Relax, I have OPC and learnt that you just can not do everything at once no matter how good you are at multi tasking, do the urgent things first, one at a time until completed or as far as you can take them, then move on to the next on the list, take time for yourself no matter what, other wise you burn out and you cant do anything

Sit down, make a list, prioritize that list and start with the first and do not go to the next until you have it done and crossed it off of the list. You will be surprised at how fast you are setting down and making a new list and how fast you get caught up just by doing a few things every day.

be sure to find a few minutes a day for 'you' time.  get a cup of coffee/tea and a goofy magazine that has nothing to do with what you are studying.  then allow yourself about 15 minutes a day to enjoy these things.  this system helps me deal with work, job and 3 kids, so maybe it will help you!

First ask them questions like how many minutes in a year, then try to confuse them with statements about how they shouldn't answer the question. Ask a few more like that, then if their mind seems confused: do the shiny pocket watch in an arc thing and see how it goes. Simple minds with less physcologial and mental barriers who trust easily should be your "targets". Or get a degree in advertising and learn how the masses are hypnotised into buying stuff they don't want. And really, why do you want to force people to do what you want them to do anyway?

I strongly suggest getting a copy of "7 Habits of highly effective people" and check out their site: "http://www.franklincovey.com/"\n\nWhat I like about Dr. Stephen covey's work is that he promotes a balanced model of self-development... i.e. by making one thing better in your life, you are not putting another in danger. He has a more "long-term" perspective.\n\nThere are also many other quacks out there. Some of them are rather very effective sometimes - but they don't have a fail-proof model. I won't say Dr. Covey is completely fail-proof either, but nearly so. His advice is tested and true.\n\nFrom your question it seems to me that you not just want to excel professionally, you want to be a better person and a human being overall. This is great, because I have worked as the head of HR at one point, and I have seen people who apparantly have it all, but still cry in desperation (seen some real tears). I diagnosed the cause to be ill-balanced life, and actually that's when I first consulted 7 Habits the book - which I had earlier avoided as quackery. It's not.\n\nI won't say more. I hope you find what you are looking for, and be successful. Amen.

Learning how to work under pressure and tough deadlines.  This comes in handy when your director asks you to produce a complicated report for a meeting that starts in five minutes.\n\nLearning how to prioritize.  Which task should I do first?  The one my director said was due this morning or the one the president of the company wanted right away?\n\nLearning to work as part of a team.  "I want to kick this m*therf**king b*tch upside the head" (I scream in my head), but outwardly I smile and say, Yes of course you're absolutely right, I'll see that it gets done right away.\n\nLearning to produce magnificent miracles with a minuscule budget.  The constant phrase each year is, "It's cut-back time"\n\nLearning to dress and maintain a professional demeanour.  Even though you want to have a drag out, kick fest fight with that b*tch in accounting, you smile and say "Good morning and how are you today" in your chirpiest voice.
