2012年十二生肖总运程

2012年十二生肖总运程
宇宙有着自己的规律,人受着天体的影响,也在按一定的轨迹运行。人生有运,这个“运” 就是人体和自然的规律,如一年四季,春夏秋冬,寒来署往,周而复始。一天有二十四小时,这是众所周知的。人的属相也同样是一种规律,而且是有序的,如一年有十二个月,一天有十二个时辰,人体有十二藏腑和十二经脉,因此人有十二个属相,每个属相都是按照固定的顺序排列的,如子鼠丑牛寅虎卯兔辰龙巳蛇午马未羊申猴酉鸡戍狗亥猪,每过十二年这些属相循环一次,与十二个月循环一样。2012年是壬辰年,太岁走到我们所说的龙年。我们知道每年都有一些人犯太岁,在这一年中他们会非常不顺利的。小人横生,事业受阻,财运不畅,烦人事特多。严重的会大破家财,婚姻出问题,企业倒闭,或者是出现各种意外灾祸等。但是也会有一些人在这一年特别的顺利,运势旺盛,所以在今年我们应该把握好自己趋吉避凶的原则,让吉祥更多,远离不顺。



2012年运气最好的生肖、把握事项——
第一名 鸡
属鸡的人在同年龄层中,会希望自己是最强最棒的,不仅特别在乎自尊,更在意面子问题,就算在家吃泡面,出去外面一定也要是光鲜亮丽、引人注目,在这样不服输的心态下,属鸡的人对金钱、理财以及投资也就会有自己一套独到的见解,不会随波逐流,并靠着自己的理财哲学拼命赚钱。他们大多财运通达,少有穷途末路的窘境。属鸡的人有明确而细心的理财观念,如果他们能将金钱的追求也作为生活信念的话,成为一个首屈一指的大富翁是没问题的。

第二名 鼠
属鼠的人财运总体来说还不错,拥有终生不会为钱财烦恼的运气,他们善于社交,交际范围广泛,因而总是在经济上有好机会,同时也能得到他人金钱方面的帮助。属鼠的人天生对数字就狠敏感,只要看到钱或闻到钱味,他们就特别有兴趣,这样的人在年轻的时候可能不是学习财经理财相关的,但他们就是狠有兴趣去专研这一块领域内的东西,如此难得的天赋,让他可以利用钱滚钱来赚取更多财富。而且,属鼠的人中年以后,大多能获得意外之财。

第三名 猴
属猴的人财运甚佳。因钱财比他人来的容易,所以花起钱来也大方,不懂得开源节流,容易挥霍无度,把钱化的精光。属猴之人由于机灵聪慧,具有不拘泥于任何事物的豪爽个性,不时会受到意想不到的恩惠。中年以后由于家庭负担日重,所以要以平实稳健的态度,料理一切事务,最好能够养成每天记账的习惯。属猴的人为了预防万一,应该努力养成储蓄的习惯。若能找到善于理财的伴侣,那是再好不过的事了。


2012年运气最弱的生肖、注意事项——
1、龙

本命年就是与当年的太岁地支相同,今年是龙年,当然属龙的就与太岁相同了。也就是你与你的领导平起平坐了,把自己看的太高了,不知道自己处于什么位置了。去做领导才能做的事情,发号施令,领导的地位受到了威胁,那领导肯定是不干的,他会想尽一切的办法来整你的。最后受伤的还是你自己,因此一定要小心为事。同时还要记住本命年中小人多。

2、狗

今年的太岁为龙,在地支当中戌与辰相冲,戌也就是狗,狗来冲龙也就是冲太岁,反过来也是被太岁冲,双方互冲因此属狗的人今年特背。你整天冲撞你的领导,与领导对着干,让领导的威望扫尽没有面子。那他肯定是不会干的,当然受伤的是你而不是领导。反过来他也会冲撞你,因为你俩今年是互冲。如果领导冲撞你,看你不顺眼,你反过来顶撞,不顺从那你更没有好果子吃了,不把你整倒才怪呢。因此今年属狗的人不顺利,同时还要提防小人在背后作祟。


3、兔

害太岁就是属相与今年的太岁相害,地支中卯辰相害,因此今年属兔的人害太岁。害就是破害的意思,与人不和,易遭人误解,或者遭小人破害。性质与刑太岁一样,因此属兔之人在今年也要特别注意自己的所做所为,不利于自己和他人的事一定不能做,否则到时吃亏的肯定是自己。

以上三个属相今年是相当不利的,俗语云“太岁当头坐,无福恐有祸。太岁现身来,无疾恐破财。人在家中坐,祸从天上落”。除了自身要多注意一些外,最好还得进行化解,这样才能做到防患未然。

2012年财运最好的生肖——
1、鸡

属鸡之人今年的财运增长会相当的快,上半年有好的运势,下半年同样也有好的运势。但要记住冬季是于你不利的,遇事都是开始好,越到最后越对你不利,有时也会因此出现分歧,矛盾这都很正常。只要你是以一颗诚实态度对待就行。下半年会有一些偏财出现,可以投资些股票、彩票之类的,今年可以投资一些基金,到时会有一些不错的收益。但千万不要认为有偏财就去赌博,那种心态是完全不对的,不但钱挣不来,最后还会影响工作和事业的。

2、鼠

今年对于属鼠之人来说可谓是吉星高照。进财方面是多种渠道,四面八方。这都是与你平时的积极努力有关系的,提职加薪是小事,更主要的是你为今后的事业起了一个好头。事业心上可以进行全方位的合作,除了正财之外,今年还会有偏财出现。因此可以投资一些基金,或者是其它有价值的一些投资都可以。平时多听一听理财讲座,将自己的钱财合理的进行投资分配。同时还要合理地控制支出,因你的支出一年是个很大的数字,省下的钱可以投资到别的方面,也许会带来更大的利益。

3、猴

属猴之人今年的财运不错,过完年就会有明显的感觉。在单位中由于你的能力极强,为公司带来了大量的利益。同时你也与上司关系处的很好,因此提职加薪这是正常的了。就连跳槽之人也能找到高薪水的工作。由于今年属猴之人的运气好,因此会感觉到财运明显上升。不光是正财来的大,偏财方面也会大有收获。今年所有的投资都有了回报,因此你一定要有一个清醒的头脑,为每一步发展都提前做好计划,特别是资金的使用方面更要如此,只有这样才能全面发展。



2012年事业最好的生肖——
1、牛

属牛的人士今年各方面运势相当不错,各个方面都会有很好的发展。在今年运势较为顺畅,事业的发展能够如鱼得水,发展大吉,精心经营,与对手的竞争中赢的可能性较大,宜好好把握机会。财运方面非常理想,正财和偏财都得,可以投资一些基金,或者是其它有价值的一些投资都可以。有时间多看一些这方面的书。最终自己也能创造更多的发财机会,这是最主要的。事业上会上一个新的台阶,工作上会顺风顺水,一路高升。身体方面强壮无比,只是平时多注意腰和肾脏方面的保健就行。感情方面如沐春风,非常融洽,异性缘佳,感情易三心两意,不专一,这样不但于对方不利,其实也是对自己的不负责任。

2、蛇

属蛇之人今年的运势会延续上一年的好运,各个方面都会取得不俗的成绩来。工作上节节高升,有德高望重的人物来提拔。事业方面会有新的转折点而令你突飞猛进。上半年的财运略好于下半年,全方位的投资令你财源广进,正财和偏财均得。可以尝试着投资一些基金、股票之类的,会有不错的回报。今年的花销同样是大的,主要都是用事业上了。不过在年终时也会有诸多的困阻出现,可能会有一些意想不到的事情发生,这些都需要你提前做好心理准备。感情上丰富多彩,单身人士上找到自己的另一半。身体健康方面没有什么问题,要注意心脏及肝胆等方面的保健。

3、猴

属猴之人今年的运气开始好转,因得太岁六合星拱照,做事会一帆风顺,遇事多得贵人相助,财源广进,生意兴隆。因此可以利用这个大好的时机,实现快速发展。工作上正是你平步青云,大展宏图之时。财运方面还可以,正财偏财都有收入,可以做一些股票进行投资或者是投资房地产均可。因此也不是什么事都顺利,主要影响身体健康和夫妻感情,身体健康方面尤其要注意皮肤、肾脏和消化系统。一般都是佩带吉祥物进行化解。感情方面在二月和八月犹其不利,容易因一些家庭小事引起争执,严重者有分手之相,因此千万不可当儿戏,应学会自己调控情绪。



2012年犯小人、口舌是非的生肖——
1、龙

今年是龙年这对于属龙的人来说是属相与流年太岁相重了,民间把这种情况叫做本命年。俗话说,太岁当头坐,无福恐有祸。中国人很忌讳这一年,因为绝大多数人在本命年中都会出现不顺,小人出来捣乱,工作或者事业上出现重重阻碍,严重者会出现灾祸,这些人在今年要特别注意感情婚姻,身体健康和破财灾伤。在这里提醒老师提醒大家,属龙的人今年千万注意化解犯太岁之不利。

2、狗

属狗之人今年的运气不是很好,因为今年的太岁是辰土,而属狗之人的属相地支是戌,辰正好冲戌,也就是说属狗之人今年犯害岁,是另一种意义上的犯太岁。一定要在年初做好化太岁工作。犯太岁之年一般都是不太顺利,工作或事业中会出现诸多的阻碍和麻烦,这些都需要你小心应对,逐一去化解。稍有不慎就会导致前功尽弃,一年的努力付诸东流。越是在不顺的时候越会出现小人,事业上也会出现一波三折,反反复复,今年千万不可进行大规模的投资。另外今年把心态放正,万不可做一些触犯法律的事情,那样你后悔都来不及。工作人员应以和为贵,低调做人,处理好人际,免得招来不必要的麻烦。

3、兔

属兔之人今年的运势也不是太好,主要是因为属兔之人今年害太岁。因兔的地支为卯木,而今年的太岁为辰土,辰卯相害。相害则主冲突、伤害等易发生于属兔之人不利的事情。特别是农历二月和三月,更要注意,千万不能做一些违犯法律的事情。今年害太岁不吉,各方面要多加小心,老师提醒大家化太岁一定不能忽视。工作上宜采取守势,万事小心谨慎,在人际关系上要雅量容人,做事留有余地,否则易招致失败。交友要注意,今年极易交上那些不三不四的朋友,会给你带来灾难的。财运上今年相当不好,不是很稳定,求财费力,而且到处耗财


2012年姻缘最好的生肖配对——
情感运是家庭运势的重要指标之一,不但影响双方感情还直接影响到家庭的运势。俗话说“家和万事兴”,此话一点不假,只有家庭和顺,家庭的事业运势才会好转。否则你说这样做,他说那样做,老也没有统一思想,即使按照一方的思想去做了,另一方老是不大力支持,你想这样下去事业能干好吗?所以情感运是一个家庭是否幸福的最重要的指标。
1、马

对于属马之人来说,马的地支为午,五行属火,属马之人今年犯桃花的机会更大,单身之人可以,要是己婚人士要千万注意了,不能因桃花影响夫妻双方的感情。可以把桃花转变成人缘,这样还利于工作一举二得。

2、蛇

对于属蛇之人来说,蛇的地支为巳,因此龙年对于属蛇之人来说虽说犯桃花,但桃花却与自己属相相害,这就是人们所说的烂桃花。如果这种桃花招来可能就会因情生灾,给自己带来不利,因此在交往时一定要注意这个问题。也不是所有属马之人都会遇到这个问题,只是说发生这种概率的事要高。己婚人士更要注意,以防止第三者出现破坏家庭幸福。

3、羊

对于属羊之人来说龙年属羊之人的桃花运是相当大的,而且成功率相录高,几乎是有一个成一个。这对于单身人士来说是在好不过的消息了。如果对于女士来说,在与异性相处的过程中一定要先了解对方的情况之后在做决定,不要盲目地做决定,因为桃花星多少对你有些克性。

"In any realm of life—whether academic, social, business, or political—the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options."

Ever-wondering, why US has the best renowned University in the academic realm? The answer lies in their pragmatic approach. For century-long, US-educational based system has outlined the different mainstream students to be independent, creative, critical thinking and the most upfront emphasize is the on-hand experience in the field of exploration. Taking the Go-Cart competition would best to describe. Each year, Mechanical faculty from amongst the University authorities would send out their best craftsmanship result by students for competition. Each student not only undertakes the analysis on Mechanical Stress, outsource the material, but also to the late-stage of assembly, testing and evaluation of their Go-Cart performance. Since then it would spur the students’ interest to participate actively in mini-group projects but also translating the theoretical formula into the realistic and workable project as a whole.
Neither, a caliber political leader should deal with his diplomacy in idealistic manner but in the pragmatic approach instead. When a catastrophe occurs, he should be first prompting for the action, extending his help to the needed victim and minimized the destruction-impact caused by natural disaster. In 2009, when BP failed to contain the leak oil from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, Barack Obama as a President of the United States quickly held an immediate closed-door party with BP’s top management. After several meetings, BP has reached the concession to pay mounting oil spill claim at USD20million in 4 years and agreed to scrambling the next bid before due date. From this perspective, Barack Obama could have won his next presidency campaign because of his agility to react with sudden-alerted situation, but also in ensuring financial safeguard to the affected vital-lifeline fishing villages.

"In any field of endeavor—the sciences, the humanities, the social sciences, industry, etc.—it is not the attainment of a goal that matters, but rather the ideas and discoveries that are encountered on the way to the goal."

The discovery of America Continent by Christopher Columbus is a watershed event, yet it also marks the beginning of colonization by European. Above is the classic example that when we are directed towards the goal, too often, it would be accompanying with the ideas and discoveries that we stumble across. The question is does idea and discovery do matter than the attainment, or the attainment plays a vital role in getting for the positive result? Today, we would like to discuss this matter as below.

Undeniably, scientists are always seeking the unorthodox way to discover the ideas rather than putting the weighted points in attainment of the goal. These are the groups who constantly need the idea to gush forth in order for them to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the idea in the clinical trial. Take Mitral-heart Valve as an example. At the early stage, it was designed to replace the damage heart valve in human hear chamber, nonetheless due to its design has yielded the life-threatening condition, thus it has forcibly scientists to devise the Mitra-Clip to replace of it instead. The idea of Mitra-Clip was imitating those stitches to close the flap door in the heart- valve of a human, and it is because of its simplicity design, many heart patients have opted for this new therapeutic option besides it is less costly than the conventional open heart surgery.

Moreover, the discoveries are sounded more prominent than attainments when it is in the process for curing a disease and save-vital human life. Dr. Joseph who is also the author for the book of “The Powerful of Subconscious Mind” has credited the merit of subconscious mind in battling against the deadliest disease and win over the “War”. Inside his documentation, a several patients were diagnosed as a cancerous –carrier vessel has been fully recovered at the years span later. This phenomenon has harbored many physicians and scientists and they dubbed it as “Remission Therapy” in which the cancerous activity has been ceased to zero. The only plausible explanation which is given by Dr. Joseph is that, the subconscious mind is acting likes a powerful antidote when we place hope in recovering soon, they render the abnormalities to be inactive.

Nonetheless, the context in discoveries would be different for athlete. Athletes are a group who had to put in more measurable way in attainment than in discoveries solely. Their annual revenue, sponsorship, spokesman income is all greatly dependent on their regular performance which always marks the difference altitude in their career. The case of Michael Jordon is no less known to us, he is the iconic person in NBA history. MJ has even grabbed tons of title for himself, likes 10 All NBA first team designation, 3 best steals titles and 1988 best defensive player award. This has further yielded the endorsement from NIKE for the designated sneakers on “Air Jordon” which is still popular in commercialization right until now. If MJ was not the big shot in NBA, just a punk who played well in the street game, all this generated revenue of billion-dollars as a spokesman would not be wired into MJ account as his pocket money.

In conclusion, to gauge the importance of discoveries over attainment or vice-versa, it is largely dependent in the eyes of the endeavor and the field he engages in. Scientists, philosophical, economist and judiciary are all favors to evidence, idea and discoveries, meanwhile, endeavors like athlete, entrepreneur, politician are putting their calibers onto their respective field of interest. Therefore, as to which element is far more superior than other it does not really matter, what matter is given the stipulated time, both discovery and attainment could reach the final goal together.

"We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning."

Before entering the context, as said “Adversity always brings into the opportunity”; does this hold true for disagreement? Does disagreement could unleash the potential in learning or it only magnifies the crack between the opposition, breeds the hatred, and impede in the learning curve. I am pretty confidence, most of the crowd would conceive to the latter; as they view disagreement would bring in the disadvantages points than advantages. Today, we would delve into this issue as below.

Needless to say, the disagreement always brews into the stress and impede in the learning process. Both parties are neither seeking for the common ground nor try to listen to the opposition’s opinions, both of which are rooted out firmly in their stance and profoundly to proclaim their wisdoms are indeed the most constructive and workable in the argument. If that is the case, six-core would not be emerging from the Chipset market, this chipset is primarily developed by engineers in Bangalore, India. The Chief designer challenged their crews to be able to draw out with the robust design and succeeded to the predecessor of i7, yet they prevailed in the end after 6 years of technical scrambling to fine tune on Six-Core Xeon. The strayed of argument, different perceptions, and the misalignments from core values would not bring in the fame and recognition in Bangalore as the small Silicon Valley in India today.

The virulent disagreement and criticism could be extended to the field of political. The atmosphere in political field is even tense, constantly backfire, not seeking the common ground of understanding nor joint-force with each other. Often one of each worthy opponent would be citing the certain law enactment to bring down the opposition. The debating from Abraham Lincoln over Stephen A. Douglas was seen at least the most stark physically and morality attack. Lincoln emphasized that “The Slave Power” should be abolished and threatened that Douglas was defying the value of republicanism meanwhile Douglas backfiring by skirting that Lincoln was never exercised the practice in Freeport Doctrine where the settler are free to choose whether to allow the existence of slavery or not. In the end, they only left the crowd with rhetoric and needless to say they were not fostering the intimation of learning in disagreement process.

Though, debating is at least seen as the paradox way to gain the learning from disagreement. When debating, both oppositions would present their materials, factual argument, and the consistency of axioms to prevail over the trial or in competition. Take the homicide case in a courtroom trial. Priori entering to the “Battlefield”, both defense and prosecutor attorneys would need to congregate and organize their testaments in the most “Unorthodox-Striking” way. When the trial begins, both attorneys would try to point out the weaknesses in opposition and manifest it largely, so that, it would be one side favors from juries. Apart from that, during the “Assailant”, both attorneys would need to devise a plan to counteract the bombardment from opposition; it is in this process, the attorney could build up their confidence, eschew the onslaught and overrule the statement if any before the final conviction is put by the judge.

To sum it up, it has become a notion for public to “Eradicate” the sense of disagreement in the learning process, nonetheless this philosophy does not hold true for the group of people whose idealism, views, standpoints and beliefs are downright contradict to the opposition, to excel in themselves, they need to engage in the dispute, controversy and disagreement in the formative way of debating. As Confucius emphasized, we should give up this relationship if the belief we are holding are straying at each other.

Confirmity leads to deadening of indivicual creativity and energy

“We need to end this long addiction to fossil-fuel and embark on the clean-energy” this is the statement which was spoken by Barack Obama when the catastrophe caused by BP could not contain the crude oil after the several attempting actions. Does this sound a conformance to you? Well, in my point, conformity only works for certain regulatory body and group members, in fact I concede that conformity leads to deadening of idea, creativity and energy whether it is governing to an individual or targeting to a whole group of organization.

Firstly, conformance never works on the scientists, researchers or any greatest inventors. Many of them has disregarded the notion on conformity, in the other hand, they seek for the critical thinking and out of the box solutions. They are deeply believed that, whatever they could dream of, they could materialize them as said by Albert Einstein. Take the example of the Wright Brother’s creation; it would not be plausible for the 300kg metal alloy can be built into giant-bird shape like navigator and soar freely in the sky. Yet, Wright Brothers, disregard on the notion and rhetoric from authorities, they continued their day and night research to fine-tune on their giant-bird glider. In Dec 1903, the first human piloted plane has clung to the sky and this has astonished many of the skepticism people and turned into their favorable supporters since then.

Remarkably also, conformance works flawlessly to the giant with less fortune fate such as Liu Wei, Nick Vujicic, John Wilson and Mr. Them. Above persons are either struck by the sudden mishaps nor were born with handicapped. Yet, they never succumb on the negative thinking; beg for merciful or becoming as a victim, but in the other hand, they are the compass and mirror to many others who search for a meaningful life. Who say, a limbless person could not surf in the ocean with their skateboard, yet, Nick Vujicic has proved everyone wrong; who say a pianist must have the healthy limbs to play on piano, listen to Liu Wei who once played on the famous song “Let It Be” with Andy Lau and has touched million of the audience with his incredible performance, playing the piano with his only toes. All this inspired and adrenaline heartfelt feeling could not be gushing forward if they kneeled down their heads before conformity.

If conformance could not be found from scientists, inventors and “Gigantic” person, where should it belong to? Yes, we can witness their traces at manufacturing-based company such as Plexus, Jabil, military group and jurisdiction body. All these groups do not require the well-educated person to be in-charge, in fact, they only need their obedience, achieve the target, wipe-out the enemy and reach the same verdict in a same-time. Take the example of military group, their commander needs their crews to be very obedience and strictly comply to his order, moving in to the target based and eradicate the enemy, in contrast they never asked their soldiers to be a very outstanding group who is always thinking in the unorthodox way to accomplish their mission, this is therefore they only be viewed as “Killing Machine” only to defense their commander orders.            

To wrap this up, both conformist and non-conformist people only could unleash their potential if they are placed in their right position. The converse is true, the idea, creativity, abundance of energy would be withered, if we put scientists in a conformist group or conformist person in the non-conformist environmental, therefore it is up to the upper echelon to define on their human ideology when placing their respective crews under their particular regulatory body.

Is Multitasking a digital fried to our brains??? (II)

Multitasking has rapidly taken our lives to a point we are looked awfully lax if we are doing one thing at a time. Chances are good you have several browser tab on your Mozilla Firefox while you are doing your homework, chances are good also you are driving back home but blabbering over the phone with your best buddy. With the ever growing array of digital distractions available, multitasking has become prevalent than ever before. This is however; our brains are not built for the onslaught from multitasking and this is according to Professor Nass, a neurologist from Stanford University. We are built to train and focus on a single intellectual task, when our minds are bombarded with different tasks, it get overloaded and virtually coming to a halt in the dead alley.

First of all, multitasking is draining out our brainpower infinitely. Imagine that, when I am in the middle of learning from Answers.com and texting email to pen-pal, both tasks are competing to reach the same place in the brain. As a result, our brain get exhausted, cluttered, and overloaded. According to Dr. Glenn Wilson, a psychologist from University of London, he has pinpointed that, this scenario is actually able to knock down 10 points of our IQ, much to situation where the head-fog is caused by losing a night’s sleep. Even we are not multitasking in the same time, but we are switching between tasks it can slow down on our works according to Dr. Wax from University of Queensland. When the group of people was asked to solve the complicated Math, in the mean time they have to divert their attention to others, they were actually up to 40% much slower in their usual performance.
Besides that, it is also the single most important reason why we are witnessing the epidemic of rage according to Dr. Gary Small, a psychologist from Harvard Institute. Take the sample likes this, I am a busy parents, living in a crowded city, and I have to perform multitasking daily, all these hectic and chaotic in my personal experiences would be translated to be a chemical changes under my brain, and thus it would chronically raise the level of the stress hormone cortisol in my bloodstream. In longer term, I would be disposed as being more to impulsive and compulsive personalities. Therefore, in short, it is the psychological and intellectual toll which may eventually cause a harmful spread onto my body, mind and soul. According to the American Study reported in Cyberpsychology, kids who are immersing heavily in multitasking find it difficult to concentrate on their single intellectual task such as reading text.

In addition to that, multitasking is potent enough to cast a form of autism into the future of our children. When our minds are filled with noise, it is starting to losing it out capacity to process, from attended fully to gradually anything. This phenomenon has been christened by Hallowell as “Attention Deficit Trait”, a psychologist expert from University of Holland. According to him, children with autism are often demonstrating the behavioral likes lacking of the interpersonal skills, isolating with others, doesn’t make eyes-contact with peers, focusing on the pieces of part and even worst misinterpreting the imply meaning or failed to catch the subtle non-verbal messages such as body language. We can think this along the scale of Asperger, a mild form of autism where there is no connectiveness, other the fancy world of us.
In conclusion, it is the psychological and intellectual toll taking as a whole in this collateral damage. If we must perform multitasking by anyhow, we should heed on the following advices from experts. Whenever we hit on the “Fried” point, we must quickly turn ourselves into low-information environment; get a soothing view; walk away to allow the brain to discard on the tangling and extraneous thoughts. Never do in the afternoon, the post-lunch fatigue, added to the strain of multitasking could cause an overload to brain. Mediate is to increase the attention and memory in the brain. Ironically, Professor Nass could not find any to quit cold turkey in Stanford when he offered 100 bucks as the reward to them.

Is Multitasking a digital fried to our brains???

Multitasking has taken our lives to a point where we are being looked as the woefully lax person if we do thing one at a time. Coupling with the ever-growing digital array available, multitasking has strengthened its magnetic field to become more irresistible. We are built with the novelty-instinct; it is hard not to divert our attention when a click is pop-up from screen or the swing open sound is coming from a door when the actual thing is we are surfing on net with multiple tab browsers. Professor Nass from Stanford University has warned public that the exploitation from multitasking will only create the disastrous in our mind, either in the psychological way or a toll in intellectual way.

First and foremost, as suggested by Prof Glenn Wilson from MIT, we are not the expert jugglers, we are the amateur plate spinner instead. Switching frantically between tasks will cause a log-jam in our brains; this is because both parts are rushing to reach the same place to process on the information. Taking the example likes this, we are learning online from Answers.com, the same time we are also texting message to our close friend. Information could only be stored into our brain through the striatum to hippocampus if the learning process is uninterrupted, if not it would only be stored temporarily at striatum. In addition, Prof Clint Edward from UCLA has confirmed that only one to two activities are presented in the prefrontal cortex when the visual stimulants are given.

Apart from that, we could have the chance to witness on the epidemic rage caused by multitasking. Let say I am living in the hectic cosmopolitan city, with heavy workload, besides that I am also a busy parents, busying take care of my cranky children, when my multitasking doesn’t live up its reputation, to have the fast efficiency of works in short period. I am starting to feel the anxiety, pressure and overload, and all of the noisy sounds are cracking into my minds. All that troublesome which I felt will be translated into the sort hormone stress cortisol, which spike high in my bloodstream. Chances are good I could be developed with cardiovascular disease because of “gift” from multitasking. In longer term it is not only the psychological spreading the harmfulness in our minds but also taking an intellectual toll as a whole in the process.

Despite of that, our future children who are intensively immerse in technology could have the higher chance in developing autism-like behavioral. Prof Earl Miller, a neuroscientist from University of Melbourne has pin-pointed our brains are not built for the onslaught, it only allows one to two activities to be processing at once, exceeding that limit would only bring the overload to the brain capacity and eventually coming the halt in the end. It is for this reason; our children are shaped with the autism behavior because of the “Attention Deficit Trait” as emphasized by Edward Hallowell, a psychiatrist from Chicago University. He said ADT has the linkage to the autism form behavior in children. When children involve in autism, they are starting to isolate themselves with others, misinterpret on the non-verbal cue and worst leaving in their own fancy world, repeating the same phrases over and over again. In scientific term this scenario is called as echolalia.

In this context, the mounting evidence is suggesting that multitasking would not bring the effectiveness in our work, but in turn would be stirring with turmoil in our peaceful mind to be chaos. It is therefore we should abandon to the notion of work-like multitasking person, which is always the gauge and caliber from gigantic corporation in promoting their personnel. If by anyhow, we must do it, we must heed on the following advices, do not do in afternoon, the post-lunch fatigue added to the strain of multitasking would give you the immediate of overloading to the brain, in fact, the MRI personnel is scanning on which time it is best to perform on the multitasking. When we hit on the “Fried” point, do give ourselves a soothing view of nature, to release on the tension of our minds, and allowing our minds to discard the extraneous thoughts and filled with replenish feeling. As human it is not worthwhile to trade-off our health with multitasking just to storm through the tough time in overcoming the inflation rate in the next few decades. We could have many ways to earn the fortune without neglecting to our health and we should be reminded, the ever biggest fortune we could have in possession is all about the healthy body and mind.
