Discernment: Put an end to
unsolved mysteries
Maxwell’s model
of discernment was the Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, whom Maxwell claimed
that “her intelligence and discernment allowed her to understand and discover
many things that have made a positive impact on our world.” In Maxwell’s words, discernment helps to:
discover the root issues, enhance problem solving, evaluate options for maximum
impact and multiply opportunities.

My thoughts
Marie Curie’s
life is a fascinating read summarized in two pages. However, through the story, I was unable to
understand how discernment played a part in Marie’s success as a renowned Nobel
Prize winner. Neither was her leadership
evidently demonstrated. Winning the
Nobel Prize probably made it easier for Curie to solicit for funds to equip her
laboratories. Even today, the Nobel
Prize is an undeniable magnet that draws funds and other people to the winner. The Daily Take-away story, about how Seiko
had accepted the design of digital watch, had more relevance to
discernment. It would be more beneficial
had this story been expanded to detail the reason for Seiko accepting the new
design.
