Let’s start with an easy one to get you in the mood
“Men think about sex every seven seconds”
Nonsense.
Absolute poppycock.
Think about it.
A man who is awake 17 hours in a day would think about sex 61,200 times.
Thinking about anything that much would drive one insane
Assumptions lead to mistakes.
When it comes to your take on the world around you, it’s important to remember that perception is not truth.
You see the world according to your own personal biases, prejudices and expectations.
And so does everyone else.
When you guess or suppose something, it’s based on your subjective viewpoint and all the other things going on in your head.
In fact, the little voice in your head is probably the last one you should be listening to.
Oh, and while I’m on the subject of assumptions, let me explode another myth that’s been bothering me.
Perceived wisdom would suggest that your first thought is always the right one.
But research behind a new book that I’ve seen, suggest that the second thought is really the one to go with.
So when people say “don’t give it a second thought”
Don’t listen.
