Your brain is roughly three pounds, be sure to factor that in, when you are on the scale. The right side is emotions, creation, imagination. The left side is logic, mathematical, facts. All garbled goop for some. Left for me is a big pud muddle, intentional mix up. I don’t think a logical brain would work for me, everything is too real. I like make believe, it is better for coping. Some perceive the less logical as less bright. I digress, I can create a plan to fool the most brilliant.
Kids came to me in high school for their woven story to get out of class. I once did an oral book report in front of the class, about a book I didn’t read. I had to ask questions about the story to engage the room. I had five questions and basically their answers told me what happened in the book. I was so sure of my plan, I went first. Unfortunately, the teacher did a follow up with her own five questions for me… oops. I think communication is the secret to wisdom. If you know how to express yourself, how to have a conversation, to present your thoughts, these are key to all relationships.
If you can’t hear someone’s words it is a big problem for exchanging ideas. If you are listening, it helps the convo along. If you are too busy thinking of your rebuff or ideas, you are not really present in the convo. In schools, kids always have their hands up, and lose the message, because they are now stuck in the message they wanted to share. You have to be attentive to receive information. You have to process to get the meaning. Life is like that too, you need to retain things, to learn from them.
