1. Logic without Perception is nowhere? Everywhere?
Hello guys it’s been more than 2-3 weeksthat I have not posted anything as I was looking
for nice story for this New Year 2013.Once again I wish you a very happy and prosperous
new year. Hope you have you guys are done with “Keeping new year’s resolutions” and
started your journey towards your target.I will be writing about “How to keep best new
year’s Resolution’s” next weekend.
Coming to this post I think you are aware of Logic and perception in fact more about logic
and always inclined to use logic than the other. In general we don’t give importance to (in
fact we don’t even know what perception is) as our mind is trained to use logic as a main
weapon so we do. There is nothing wrong of you in it. Logic works perfectly well but not
enough.
In my view both are very much important and today I am going to post a story about
perception over logic. We always have a bad habit of thinking logically without consider
perception. Of course logic is very important but perception plays vital role in understanding
a situation or event. It also helps in making different solutions in different aspects with
same input.
2. If you see the dictionary meaning of perception
Perception: Noun
1) The ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses
2) The state of being or process of becoming aware of something in such a way
If you see the dictionary meaning of Logic
Logic: Noun
1) Reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity
On the whole “Perception is the organization, identification and interpretation of sensory
information in order to represent and understand the environment”
So now to tell the importance of Perception over logic here is a story from EDWARD DEBONO
in his book “Think Before it’s too late”
In Australia, a five-year-old boy called Johnny was offered a choice by his friends between a
one-dollar coin and a two-dollar coin. The one-dollar coin was much bigger than two-dollar
coin. Johnny took the bigger coin. His friends laughed and giggled at Johnny’s stupidity.
This continued, whenever they wanted to make a fool of Johnny, they would offer him the
same choice. He never learned. He always chose the larger coin.
One day an adult saw this and felt sorry for Johnny. He called Johnny over and told that the
smaller coin, even though smaller, was actually worth twice as the bigger coin.
Johnny smiled and thanked him politely and then said: I know very that much. But how many
more times would they have offered me the coins if I had chosen the two dollars the first
time?
This is “matter of perception”! How you take the situation (in time) and resolve it efficiently.
If you apply logic over here it is perfectly well ( as you get two dollars at once). But it is not
enough.
Have a nice day all! See you next week!
Bye!
