Auto Thinking [Thinking Process]

I am not going to discuss here a thinking process that we do forcefully. To take a decision many people put a pressure on a brain. But there is something, which not requires pressure. That automatically bubbles-up in mind without any additional force. So what is that? Lets say it auto-thinking.

How this auto-thinking programmed in our mind? This auto-thinking is completely based on previous experience and domain knowledge. Auto-thinking is important part of daily life, we take several decisions based on this auto-thinking concept.

Let me give you an example of auto-thinking process so you will able to understand the concept behind it. Suppose you’re walking in an unknown part of city, searching for a friend’s house. Many people are present around you. But in fraction of second you decide to ask one person standing at a shop and you get proper navigations towards your friend’s home from that person. This process is done in fraction of second. Even you don’t know why you chosen that specific person. May be you decided it on the basis of personality of a person or by some other criteria. But this has done very quickly.

Take examples of CID, Police officers. By experience they can very easily identify the thief. It may be possible sometime their decisions will turn wrong. But this thinking is without any additional force. Development of this thinking is important to take prompt decisions.

Take an example of people in material industry, on the basis of experience, by just looking at a material or smelling it they can tell you its effectiveness in production.

But it is not case all people assumptions will result in right; in some cases it may be erroneous. So to avoid these errors proper experience in that particular domain is essential. Through knowledge in domain, process data in brain speedily. That’s why results come out in fraction of second. So to take decisions at fast rate auto-thinking is very important in day-to-day routine.

Admit and Learn from your Mistakes

It is important when any subordinate, boss show you a mistake, the ability to admit a mistake plays important role in your life. It is equally important to learn from previous mistakes. Don't do same mistakes again. Any body in your organization, family can show you mistake. Person may be high or low level. Don't look at his/her level. Just try to learn from it. This will really improve your efficiency and effectiveness.

I'll tell you small story about this context. In Akbar court one-day one person came with different types of horses. All horses are really very good. The person wants to sale horses to Akbar. Akbar also impressed by quality of horses. So he paid up demanded price for selected horses to that Horse-seller. Akbar also wants some more good quality horses but this time horse-seller demanded advance sum of Rs. 5 lakhs. Akbar paid up the advance amount. Even he doesn’t have any information about that person.
After few days passed Akbar asked Birbal to prepare a list of fools in his kingdom. So Birbal prepared a list and submitted it to Akbar. In list Akbar name was in the first position. So Akbar shouted at Birbal. Birbal Replied. "Some days ago you gave Rs. 5 lakhs to horse seller without any guarantee that he would complete your horse order. That's why I put your name. Akbar then asked what if the horse seller brings me the horses? Birbal replied, "Then I will replace your name with horse-seller.

Akbar realized he had made a mistake in advancing the money. In this way king accepted his mistake.
