Blink dont Think
We all think a lot about our past and our future, good times and bad times and what not. Well i was reading this book BLINK by Malcolm Gladwell, i think it is an excellent one. I was working on my self and i was monitoring my mind.So i wanted to get a lot of fundas about life becasue i wanted to know what life is. Just what the hell is life?
We all live life in different ways.So i came to the conclusion that every one has got his/ her own way of interpreting life and living life. And the beauty in life is we want something and when asked we say something and hence a huge gap exists between what we want and the words we use to express the things we want.I rememeber one of the lines sent by sister, saying that one man's poison is another man's meat. Well rightly said.
Well all tend to think a lot in our day to day life. Well some may say no but they still think. Well i dont want to dispute this as it not what i want to contest.Well as the research stats goes about more than 60% ( i dont remember the exact figure, it may be higher) of our thinking is the same everyday and we keep thinking the same thing again and again. So my question was how do u stop thinking and start living.
Easier said than done that is when i started reading these books and started working on myself as to why is that i think the same thing over and over again. I was basically experimenting with my self.
BLINK was instrumental in deriving my own theory.
BLINK dont THINK.
It is a technique where i was controlling my mind like a switch. I was putting it on and off.The derivative of this was complete focus which i wanted to achieve and absolute control of my mind.
The basic idea was to stop thinking the routine 60% and focussing that towards innovative thinking.I started programing my mind not think about any topic which i considered repetitive under the sun for not more than 2 mins and i had to decide within these 2 mins with the available data or send it to the recycle bin.When i did this, i was able to stop my thinking which was repetetive in nature. In turn dedicated that time towards reading and constructive action.
I was able to decipher the repetitive ones and trained my mind not to think about them and added an incentive for not thinking repetitive things.
So when we talk about innovative work it means execution of the thought. So why think unnecesaarily when one is not executing a thought.
The reason for me to work on this was i wanted to know as to how much of time i was able to save in day and convert into productive action.
The reason for me to Blink and not think is that i believe most results are because of action and solutions to all problems are very simple and we human beings have made it very complex. All complex solutions are problems.
We still love the same simple things but our thinking as become complex and we fail to recognise the simple things in life, that is our own existence.
