11 lucruri pe care ar trebui sa le cunosti

Prea bine cunoscutul Bill Gates a tinut nu de mult un speech intr-un liceu din America de Nord despre 11 lucruri care se intampla in viata de zi cu zi, dar pe care nimeni nu le invata in scoala. Urmatoarele puncte vorbesc descpre cum societatea de astazi creeazi tineri fara un concept clar despre ce inseamna viata si cum acest lucru a dus la esecul in lumea reala, cea in care vrem, nu vrem ne aflam cu totii. Regulile sunt urmatoarele:

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, ‘learn from them’..
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

Test: ce parte a creierului folosesti in mod preponderent?

Creierul are doua emisfere care sunt facute sa lucreze impreuna. Emisfera stanga controleaza partea dreapta a corpului, iar emisfera dreapta contoleaza partea stanga.

Emisfera stanga este sediul limbajului, cuvantului, implica aspectele lingvistice ale scrierii, este sediul calculului logic, cifrelor, rationamentelor, capacitatii de analiza si abstarctizare. Prin ea, orice perceptie se traduce in reprezentare logica, semantica si fonetica. Emisfera stanga este logica, rationala, matematica, aristotelica, stiintifica, calculata.

Persoana dominata de emisfera stanga comunica cu exteriorul pe baza unui cod logico-analitic, are gust pentru dictionare, vocabular, are grija de a numi obiectele si clasele, prefera detaliile, prezinta logic faptele, are preferinta pentru relatiile cauzale unilaterale (cauza - efect), poseda arta de a structura frazele. Ea cauta de asemenea sa aibe explicatii pentru orice, gandirea fiind metodica si structurata. Inexplicabilul pentru astfel de persoane este o slabiciune.

Emisfera dreapta este sediul gandirii fara limbaj, al intelegerii nonverbale, al recunoasterii formelor, perceptiilor spatiale. Ea este responsabila pentru tonul si intonatiile vocii, pentru ritm, muzica, imaginatie, simtul culorilor, visarii. Emisfera dreapta este intuitiva, ilogica, irationala, poetica, platonica, imaginativa, romantica, mitica, religioasa.

Persoana prefera sa aibe cat mai multe analogii, scheme in abordarea universului, sintetizeazand si exprimand rezultatele cunoasterii in imagini. Imaginatia si intuitia isi au locul in aceasta emisfera, care este sediul competentei artistice si muzicale. Imaginatia creatoare afectiva isi are sediul in aceasta emisfera. Persoana cu aceasta emisfera dominanta are o memorie video spatiala, preferand o abordare intuitiva, interactiva sintetizand relatiile intre obiecte, folosind asociatiile de idei, reconstituind informatiile intr-un tot unitar. Persoana judeca lucrurile in dependenta de context, neizolat.



Avand in vedere aceste caracteristici s-au pus in evidenta profesiile in care sunt implicate una sau alta dintre emisfere in mod preponderent:- profesii care implica folosirea emisferei stangi: inginer, tehnician, economist, administrator, medic, jurist, informatician, chimist, matematician;- profesii care implica folosirea emisferei drepte: muzician, dansator, scriitor, artist, poet, psiholog, sculptor, expert in relatii umane, filozof (fondator de sistem), manager, actor.
Pentru a testa ce parte a creierului folosesti in mod preponderent priveste urmatoarea imagine timp de 30 de secunde:

Conform The Daily Telegraph, daca imaginea femeii se misca in sensul acelor de ceasornic, inseamna ca iti folosesti preponderent partea dreapta a creierului. Daca imaginea femeii se misca in sens invers acelor de ceasornic, inseamna ca iti folosesti preponderent partea stanga a creierului.
La la Universitatea Yale a fost dovedit dupa un studiu de 5 ani asupra creierului omenesc si a functiilor lui ca ambele sensuri de miscare ale imaginii femeii pot fi observate si ca numai 14% dintre subiectii testati o pot vedea miscandu-se in ambele directii.
Unii oameni o vad miscandu-se si intr-o directie si in alta, dar cei mai multi o vad miscandu-se intr-o singura directie. S-a ajuns la concluzia ca persoanele care incearca si reusesc sa o vada intorcandu-se in cealalta directie au un IQ peste 160, ceea ce inseamna aproape un geniu.
