Cognitive
Tools
What is our cognitive Toolkit and wisdom
can it fill
What steps one needs & life comes
above mediocre?
Cognitive means intellectual relating to
mind’s working
Tools mean ways, lessons, guidance or thought-
process.
Definitely there’re wisdom paths, one
needs for benefit
We remain quite unenlightened, darkness
around & aloof.
How giants use this most important
apparatus called mind
What scientific steps are taken to reach
some conclusion?
Specialists think on a particular theory
for outcome great
That may too be overridden over time,
but try to their best.
That perception is debated in scholars, pros
& cons checked
Discuss on all facets, before spreading
to common masses.
If no selfish or coterie, healthy debate
leads to good conclusion
And decision taken accordingly is
perhaps a mean to correct.
Group discussion is a method to reach
consensus on a topic
Individuals of different opinions, come
at common platform.
Individual deviations, some are more
correct than conclusion
But near to team’s idea, individuals are
not preferred criteria.
But some leaders put forth their
opinion, thrash for decision
Individual correctness takes a toll,
only noted by good judge.
Peer pressures & haughtiness,
discourage individual’s vigor
If discussion is healthy & all are heard,
conclusion is better.
We are like a machine where many parts
are fitted in body
Correct working needs timely oiling-repairs
for productivity.
Knowhow of tools-machine & theory essentials
in working,
And supervisor, specialist, manufacturer,
inventor are important.
We have many concepts in minds, dealing
on daily basis
But make a fixed opinion in self and
think it the idea best.
We don’t see from other’s angle,
prejudices not let progress
So drudgery manifests in efforts and
whole scenes is dismal.
Our perceptions are result of mental
functions so far done
Own thinking, some others’ dialogues make
us who we are.
But righteousness interfaces only by
interaction with specialists
Though experiments we can also do, light
only will show much.
Life has many facets imbued though we
don’t give much thought
We remain fixated in stereotypes &
colossus is reduced to penny.
Different colours, fields need be seen
around for good personality
How do we do justice to the world, this
mind will only sets path.
Creative designs erupt automatically if
opened to other fields
Don’t remain fastened to tight rope, go
to people who do know.
They will provide all nut-bolts, with
knowledge where to fit
And then we are more efficient, making life
a more sensible.
There are arts, journalism, science,
writing, teaching & playing
Commerce, business, economics,
mathematics & technologies.
There’re management, behavioral sciences,
philosophy & history
Then painting, sculpting, weaving,
crafts & many other disciplines.
There’re sensing, oratory, poetry,
debating, supervision & learning
And schools, colleges, universities, institutions
& training centers.
Tutoring, mentoring, guru-shishya parampara & consistent practice
And interaction with media, newspapers,
books, TV, Internet or so.
We should find specialist man having
authority on particular topic
And see how much we deviate & can
there be some compromise.
Try for more wisdom adopting very good
tools.
A book ‘This will make you smarter - New Scientific Concepts to improve Your
Thinking’ compiled by John Brockman
from specialists is definitely will provide toolkit.
