It was as amazing as hillarious. I wonder if she realized what she just said but for sure at least my daughter was listening my words. So I started to think about her statement.
But is that really true.... is my 5 year old out of this world - more matured than the average mortal !!!
Think about it.
How many players burn and crash near the culmination of their game. In the game of cricket a century is a big thing. As the century approaches the probability of the batsman getting out increases significantly and then goes down again. Why is that so. You can call it all kinds of things but the truth is that the batsman is focusing on the century and not the game. Some of us are better than others in managing the right focus because they have a highly developed sense of managing performance: an ability that is part innate talent and part developed skills. It is their ability to disengage themselves from the outcomes that gives them the power of the masters of the game.We live in a stressful world and constantly make choices under stress. The choice to remain focused on task at hand at the exclusion of the goals is something that separates the masters from the rest. The decisions made under stress (
ie... all decisions) or under the "intoxication" of a desired outcome tend to be sub optimal.Bulk of what we do is execution. Strategy or planning or complex decisions or guiding decisions are done relatively infrequently. So, is it not reasonable to assume that our current situation with which we may or may not be frustrated is the result of the "Pre100 syndrome" - i.e. our inability to act with the nerves of steel.
I think I am going to think about my thinking a little more before I think up my next blog entry.
