word of the day.

CHEM's a real bore.
So there's time for a WORD of THE DAY session. (mok take note, it's MY word)

PERSPECTIVE

Perspective in theory of cognition is the choice or a context or a reference (or the result of this choice) from which to sense, categorize, measure or codify experience, cohesively forming a coherent belief, typically for comparing with another.

I don't mean in the sense of art or direction, no.
I truly believe a deeper look at word can help us all in our daily lives.
A person can choose to look at things from his/her point of view, thus accepting
and affirming this belief as his/her own. This is their own perspective, which is usually used in comparison with another's.

Different peoples have different perspectives.

For some, their own perspective is THE law, which is unshakable and is under no circumstances wrong whatsoever. So when conflicts of interest appear, these people don't usually kowtow, and insist insist insist that they are right. Some just stand by their thoughts, while others make it their life's ambition to convince others. And then there are those whose perspective is those of others. They absorb whatever others put into it, like a spongebob, thus rendering them easily influenced.

We see different traits of the sort infused into the minds of our everday friends and aqquantainces. Some food for thought : whenever a conflict arises, try looking from the other's point of view for a change, and TRY to understand where the other person is coming from, then relate to your own stand, and try coming to a compromise. After all who wants long drawed out arguments/fights.

Through my observations of everyday life, many individuals have problems when it comes to settling arguments or conflicts, me included. But then if we apply KBKK (Kemahiran Berfikir dengan Kreatif dan Kritis) we can swiftly settle any problems.

e.g. you REALLY REALLY behsong somebody cause he/she bla bla bla.
DON't straight go shoot him : KNNCCB YOU!
doesn't do any good does it. all it does is makes things worse. INSTEAD, look at things from the other's perspective, and ask the WHYs and HOWs to settle things. IF the person is all out just to disturb you, just forgive and forget. It's miles better than blasting all out.

Soooo...with this in mind, use the PERSPECTIVE thing whenever an action is carried out or whenever you are dealing with social thingies. For example, in a meeting, you don't agree with someone's opinion, think first why he/she is giving that opinion before you go off and whisper behind their backs. And YES this is referring to some of you out there. NOBODY wants behsongness around do they.

Another usefulness of PERSPECTIVE is when you do something you absolutely hate doing. e.g. homework. or maybe studying for exams. First you might say, f**k this why am i studying, at most i go out work nia oso can earn money live. But then you apply the KBKK, then you start seeing things differently. you might start saying, OH i must study hard and get great results so i can get scholarship and help lessen my parents' burden, or homework is good cause i get free revision or something like that.

I believe that if everyone practices the KBKK way, the WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE.

note: this all sounds like crap but this reflects most of my day-dreaming thoughts and if this helps some people, good for you, if any of you think 'WTF la you think too much' I'm sorry I'm in da mood today. ^^
