Everyone is aware of their own shortcomings. Personal judgment based on individual experience can be either an advantage or a disadvantage. One’s experiences and circumstances influence how these advantages and disadvantages are perceived. As circumstances change, so do the benefits and drawbacks. For example, if the trait of being unable to form long-term relationships due to untrustworthy people is a disadvantage, it can become an advantage when dealing with a scammer. If you’re troubled by a shortcoming that’s difficult to fix, I suggest changing your perspective. Instead of trying to fix the shortcomings, consider changing how you interpret the situation. This way, disadvantages can actually turn into benefits. However, shifting your point of view on your own can be challenging. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Humans can explain why they consciously act, but it’s hard to clarify their unconscious actions . When we can’t explain our unconscious behaviors, we often feel a sense of fear. We perform many actions unconsciously without realizing it, but if we can’t explain why, our brains invent their own stories . Humans are naturally drawn to and affected by stories. Fear arises when we’re in a situation that can’t be explained by our stories. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Cognitive science states that humans communicate with 30% of "linguistic information" and 70% of "non-linguistic information." Suppose you study something to acquire information, focusing on it with conscious awareness. In that case, any activity you engage in unconsciously throughout your daily life is "playing." It is challenging to maintain focus on a task for an extended period. However, engaging in play adds enjoyment to intellectual pursuits, allowing for sustained attention. Studying in a limited capacity will only make you proficient in specific areas, but play can facilitate a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding. Parents often err by separating study and play, they are two sides of the same coin. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
