Daniel kahneman, in his  book   Thinking fast and Slow  made it easy for us by dividing the brain into 02 sects , SYSTEM 1 and System 2. Whereas System 1 is the amaygdala reaction, Fight or flight mode and System 2 is the mind that contemplates and thinks about deeper things in life. We rarely use system 2 and get by our entire life by sustaining on System 1 itself. Similarly, in the  book   Untethered soul , it has been explained that constant chit chat happening in the background of our brain is the exact nature of the mind. It just cannot shut up. Judging, peeling, interfering, drawing inference and conclusions on each and every topic and each and every person is the nature of the mind. It has an amazing bandwidth but all is wasted on doing what it does. It just does not have the discretion to say NO. It just keeps thinking BULL SHIT. In the end I would quote  Ed Seykota  and you come to see his statement in new light when you link it with ...

LONG AND SHORT THOUGHTS:      How a person think, makes a lot of difference in life, mostly people think for the Short term, why..? Influenced by the short term daily news paper reports, daily small talks, small idea change and small discussions with friend and dear ones...        People are bound to get influenced, that is normally psychology at work. We react so much to sudden TV news, in a hurry --telling this and that and what not... n  will be followed by this and that. e.g. Accidents, bomb blasts, people tend to react a lot, where actually there is nothing much to react to.      As generally, life is quite different from the reactions we make to a particular news or situations and it goes on.... in an average linear 45 degree success rate to growth.... and that is the best n most predictable growth path one should be curiously interested in.      One should actually react less to anything or any subject...
