CONTINUED FROM BASELESS FEAR ASSOCIATED WITH SHARING WHAT WE KNOW: DEMYSTIFIED If I don't share what I know, I'll cease to be human. Sounds like an emotional, philosophical curse damning me to perdition if I'm not gonna be altruistic enough towards my fellow beings. Just that it's no curse. Take a closer look. It's a...

BASELESS FEAR ASSOCIATED WITH SHARING WHAT WE KNOW: DEMYSTIFIED
CONTINUED FROM FEAR ASSOCIATED WITH SHARING WHAT WE KNOW. THE LOGICAL ANGLE. "So, yeah... this is what the condition's about.

FEAR ASSOCIATED WITH SHARING WHAT WE KNOW. THE LOGICAL ANGLE.
I chilled on one of those park benches after my 30-minute jogging stint this morning. While deeply inhaling the nippy, clean air to cool down the palpitating system, I watched other souls get their bit from the track. Somewhere, this five-minute interlude stimulates some sort of reflection on things. And, this morning was no different.... Continue Reading →
WE ARE ONE: LESSONS FROM NEANDERTHALS AND HOMO SAPIENS
Neanderthals, the extinct species of our early human ancestors, populated the Earth for about 400,000 years... only to disappear around 30 to 40,000 years ago.

WRITERS' EVOLUTION INTO SCRIPTING FOR VIRTUAL REALITY – PART 1
Taking off from WRITERS AND THEIR ON-GOING EVOLUTION! Ah! How unfair of me to have you seated next to me so passively, while I'm steering you to the destination I've already planned! I, of course, know you love being led as long as the drive's exciting. But, I also know you've got a devilishly inquisitive mind... Continue Reading →
HOW KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT (AND MASTERY) IS SO PERSONAL!
Gaining 'true' knowledge and transitioning it into wisdom is quite a personal and elusive experience... elusive because it primarily works on two drives. The first is our intrinsic motivation to learn and keep learning. The second is HOW this motivation gets us fired up. Interestingly, there are no set rules here. It's so personal and...

'BEHAVIOR CHANGE' IS DEEPLY PSYCHOLOGICAL!
Therefore, it needs to get triggered in the 'inside' first before it can show on the 'outside'. HOPE, used in psychological parlance, is a motivation that happens at a very deep emotional level. People, whose hope is fanned vigorously, get compulsively optimistic about the future and subconsciously mend their perceptions/ways for better. 'YES, WE CAN!'... Continue Reading →
'Behavior Change' happens in the brain first! Only then does it manifest!

Does this experience strike the needed neural connections inside the brain for the brain to change 'physically'? Does the brain change physically? I was quite intrigued by this question and started looking around for insights. What I discovered... Continue Reading →
