嗨，大家好。好久没有写部落格了。现在似乎流行用中文写，我也想试探自己有没有退步了。所以我决定用中文完成这篇文章。突然脑里的小小声音出现:
“哇。这样写下去真的会到明天。不如还是避重就轻吧!”
我欣然答应: “why not?”
Listen to the little voice.
When I was doing some reading about neuroscience
and taking notes just now, my monkey mind was wandering elsewhere for a few
seconds. I tried to write down the word “lobe”(a term used in brain structure)
at that time, but it turned out to be “love” instead, which was exactly what I
thought about.
I guess this thing happens loads of times,
whereby the subconscious mind overrides consciousness and expresses itself
through our acts, speeches and behaviours. We often neglect them. They are just
silly mistakes, we reckon. But with no doubt they are not.
Many people, including national leaders around
the world would say something wrong at first accidentally, then correct the
mistake immediately with much deliberation. Everyone knows, the very first thing that comes out from the mouth, without
the interference of conscious filtering, is always the utmost truth.
“Mistakes” of the brain is never erroneous. There
must be something that it wants to deliver when it makes its appearance. The intention
is to tell the conscious mind that we have missed some important points.
Many a time when a little thought comes into our
mind, we squelch or ignore it without even giving a second thought about it. Sometimes
it is just a feeling that flashes through for milliseconds, which we manage to
notice but let it go or even suppress it so that we can continue the fluent
flow of our thinking.
This is especially true when we are making a
decision. We tend to lay out the pros and cons neatly, organize the thought,
gathering and analyzing the facts that we’ve got to support a decision or action
that we are about to take. During this crucial process, emotions can interfere,
adverse feelings shall arise, little voice might be heard. All these occur at a
fraction of time, or perhaps prolong for a longer period sometimes, trying to give us clues towards making the
rightest decision. We are however often taught to be rational and not to be
affected by emotions nor to follow “the inner instinct”, so we choose to take
them for granted.
Recall the moments that you looked over the
little voices and made wrong decisions consequently afterwards. They were not
junk products of the minds. They have never been.
In this case ignorance is not bliss. Catch the
inner thought when it flashes over and amplify it instead! Take it into serious
consideration when making a final decision. After
listening to the little voice in your heart, you will find yourself being more
comfortable and confident in taking a pathway that it guides you to. And of
course, it is the right one to proceed.

so, u mean in order to make a right decision, emotions and “inner part” of ourself shud be taken into consideration?
u stated, Recall the moments that you looked over the little voices and made wrong decisions consequently afterwards. doesn’t it sound like the “voices” is junk? and how to make the better decision when often, the so’called “inner part” say no, but practically it is yes? could u give an example?
hi, when i said “looked over little voices” i meant “ignored little voices”. sorry it should sound “overlooked”. stupid mistake :/
btw if your analysis tells u yes but ur inner self tells u no, then u must find out why it says no. there must be a reason, which sometimes is intentionally overlooked.
for eg. when you are making decision to further studies. You choose one institution over another because the tuition fees is cheaper. But analysis shows that the other one has more advantages that you do mind about. You deliberately ignore its advantages and back up your decision to study at the cheaper institution by amplyfing the benefits that you dont really care about. Your biased way of thinking makes you feel a bit uneasy inside because your inner part knows what is more important to you. But u ignore the feeling even though it’s obvious. This, with no question, leads to a wrong decision. Only you yourself know what matters more to you and what doesn’t. Be honest to the inner self.
Besides, if you really have great conflicts between your feeling and rational thinking that you dont know how to decide, one way to solve is to stop thinking and gather as much information as you can. Dont be biased, dont favour over any side before you get all the facts you need and then only start to analyze for decision-making.
That’s my opinion. Not neccessarily the truth of life. lol.
ok.thanks for relying. i do appreciate it.i understand what u try to say about the institution.
of course to study at a more credential institution is everybody’s dream. th fact is do u have extra money for living soct.
sometimes, it’s not bout amplifyin.
one things i realized from this article is, yes, it’s true we often ignore the “most inner part” of ourselves. listen to the inner part. don be lazy.
when it tells there’s somthing wrong, such as the measurement of the diameter of the ball, u should try to think about it once again. u should measure more and lift a depth for surface finish. although on the paper it wrote exactly where u need to cut.
i got sth liao…thanks
hey….your chinese sucks already lar…train more lar…don become like me…i cant even write a proper essay in chinese…damn it….sad…
by the inner thing…be honest with it…that’s the hardest part that almost all the ppl in this world could not overcome it…and those who can overcome…is the special among the usual…right??
not bad bro…you got improvement…haha…the course really suits you…you didn make it a waste…you use it wisefully in your life…haha….but…my opinion…sometimes..logical thinking makes mistake…right?? sometimes still need to rely on the emotinal or feeling….and…also sometimes there is no logical thinking in some cases…and that time…only feelings and emotions help..
yea that’s what i’m talking about. dont just rely fully on logical thinking. The inner self that I mentioned actually refers to emotion or feeling, which is a product of logical thinking from our subconscious mind. But anyway, sometimes feelings can be wrong too.
ya…feelings will be wrong….logical thinking will be wrong too sometimes…..so…balance both…..make the disicion that you wont regret afterward…don too care bout it is wrong or right…cause sex is zero….zero is sex…..(translate in chinese)….understand??…..
hehehehehe
