Ad1, Your kids might enjoy this post. It’s more about human behavior. It’s a life long study. For me it’s never ending. Its like playing golf, one can never learn everything there is to know about the subject. I didn’t know about most of this stuff until I got out of college and I'm still learning.
For those of you who don’t know, our human brain contains more than 100 billion neurons. I don’t know about you but I’d rather learn about the $100 billion dollar man instead of learning about the 100 billion neurons in my brain. It’s very important to learn about the brain function. We operate out of 2 sides of the brain, the left-brain and the right brain.
Left-Brain People are: • Doctors • Lawyers • CPA’s, are predominately left brain oriented • Engineers • Attorneys since they are left brain oriented can spot a crook, or a liar 3 minutes into an interview. They like everything to be tried, tested, proven and a case number assigned before they accept it as fact. IMO, they wouldn't make good stock traders. Too many unknowns. • A Medical Doctor friend, wanted to learn how to sketch different parts of the body. That way he could draw the problem areas for his patients. So, it is possible to balance and strengthen both sides of the brain. Even though he never took an art class outside of what was mandatory. This one class taught him how to draw. And yes, he did advance from stick figures to some really impressive drawings in less than 3 months.
Right Brain People are: • Artists • Architects • Designers • Clairvoyants • Architects train themselves to use both the left and right sides of the brain • Persons who have developed their intuition skills
Can you start to see the difference in people’s psychological behavior?
What’s our goal here? You guessed it, the best of both worlds would be to develop both sides of the brain. That requires exercising the brain to learn disciplines that do not always come natural to us. It takes practice.
Example: I didn’t know how to trade stocks until I learned. Most anything can be learned if the desire is strong enough. Life is always about finding a balance.
Take a guess. What personality types are Airline Pilots, the Yachtsmen who races for the Americas Cup, a Race-Car Driver who wins the Tour de France or a Mechanic who repairs Ferrari’s for a living. Which side of the brain do you think they are operating from? Yes, your right, both.
When I was a student, in high school and college, no one explained this to me. I learned it on my own. Most of it from observing. I didn’t realize how my brain activity could influence my career.
Bottom line: It all boils down to attitude, determination and persistence. If one’s mind is inquisitive enough, I believe anyone can train themselves to be successful.
