According to author and leadership consultant Simon Sinek, our brains don’t understand the concept of negativity. For example, giving a negative command to yourself, “Don’t think of elephants!” doesn’t mean you don’t think about elephants; instead, it emphasizes thinking about elephants. It means that “do this!” rather than a negative command of “don’t do it!” leads to a behavior-oriented change in humans. If you use negative expressions when asking or begging someone, you are likely to be rejected or fail. “Eat at the table!” is more likely to result in cleaning the house than “Don’t eat on the sofa!” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Famous for his book "The Gun, the Germs and Steel," the great scholar "Jared Diamond" speaks 13 foreign languages. Once he made the wrong decision to change his job. He wanted to leave the field of science behind and become a "simultaneous interpreter." In the United States, however, speaking 13 languages seemed competitive, but being able to speak many languages in other parts of the world could not be competitive. Before doing a preferred occupation or doing something better than others, you should calmly be able to figure out your field of action first. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts"
