Intuition

We tend to believe that success can only come from understanding, but in reality our brains, when presented with ample opportunity, can unconsciously extractrepparttar underlying rules. "Such knowledge," say Lewis, Amini, and Lannon, "develops with languorous ease and inevitability, stubbornly inexpressibly, never destined for translation into words."

Things we can't describe, but we "know," come from our implicit memory which provides this "camouflaged learning." Spoken language, for instance, is a complicated set sounds and rules we couldn't possibly describe; yet we all learn to speak it as kids with no formal instruction.

In his book, _Language Instinct_, Steven Pinker observes that we all know that "thole, plast and flitch are not English words but they could be, whereas vlas, ptak, and nyip cannot be English. How? Well, just because, but wouldn't you agree?

The advantages of intuition? It's much quicker and surer. You have a greater grasp on reality, as it were, when you don't confuse things by bringing inrepparttar 131243 neocortex. "Reason," said Pascal, "isrepparttar 131244 slow and tortuous method by which those who do not knowrepparttar 131245 truth discover it."

will influence how you're feeling and sometimes will have more impact than you can withstand. Toxic personalities, for instance, tend to be strong and it's difficult to stand up to negativity for an extended period of time. Somehow it's easier to be cynical, angry and bitter than it is to be cheerful, positive and upbeat, because there are plenty of reasons to be negative if that's what you choose. Pessimists are more often right (Murphy's Law!), but optimists accomlish more (ignore it and carry on!)

Being around negative people can wear you down, exhaust you, and begin to subtly infiltrate your attitudes and feelings.

Surround yourself withrepparttar kind of person you are and want to be. Be more of who you are and you'll attract people like yourself. If you aren't optimistic, add it to your mix. It's an emotional competency that can be learned.
