'Mindscaping' for career building 17

'Mindscaping'  for career building 17

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” 
Plutarch

The mind has amazing powers. We may have succeeded to some extent in understanding what is there in human brain. But I wonder if we have understood what is there in the human mind! May be we have understood and we may be able to predict how the brain of a human being will behave in a particular context. But I wonder if it is at all possible to predict how the mind of a person will respond in a specific situation.

No technology in the world can compete and replace the intricate technology of the mind! We started depending on the technology power much more than the mind power and we do not use our mind power to its full capacity. Due to disuse and misuse, we have lost the power of the mind.

After all what is used less becomes useless!



Just think: can you recall ten telephone numbers which you dial frequently? Can you write one page of matter using your pen and paper and without using your computer? But, did you not remember at least hundred telephone numbers until you got used to the electronic storing devices including the cell phone?

From this New Year let us decide to give our mind the place it deserves!
