The mandelbrot set (look it up)

The mandelbrot set (look it up)

Hmmm. Thanks for trying. Remember all that I said about chaos? Well, the hammer in the tray clearly showed a central position had been established. From that point, I could begin to arrange the ‘picture factory’ around a place where I would be standing most of the time. In two hours I had things pretty much where they needed to be and they were kept there for the next two years at least.

Chaos, whether in the mind or in our surroundings can only be avoided when there is a single focus point. So the challenge had been to see that when I could focus all my mind on a task, the rest would fall into place. Zen-man’s skill lay in his ability to show the path, yet allow me to take ownership of my new perceptions. Very cool for 1982 believe me! So remember, if you’re ever confused, stay calm. Look for the hammer of the righteous path, Daniel-san. It’s in there somewhere.

Your 'hammer' became a 'book' to me: HOW TO MANAGE. The art of making things happen. 2nd edition. A red-coloured paperback. The book stands at WH Smith in the shelves. Not that I need the book, but a little bit inspiration seems to be always good. And, I do not read the whole book, only selective, things that are relevant to me, for example, "... there is no long term unless we survive the short term. The long term is a product of a series of short terms." What a truism. And a good hammer!

What does 'mandelbrot' stands for? And what are 'fractals'?
