The intuitive mind is a sacred gift ..
Hi Friends,
Welcome to Money Well's Blog.
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) – I need not have to introduce this reverent scientist to you. He is known for his wok on Relativity, Photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, Unified- Field Theory and so on. Out of all his brain-works I liked the following quote, for which I need not have to derive some equation or keeping some postulates in mind to understand it.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
No wonder his brain is preserved for research. Even though his rational mind was achieving quite lot of things he believed and nurtured the intuitive mind as well. I don’t have an example to narrate his mastery over his feeling-mind. But I have an example on Newton.
Sir Isaac Newton had on his table a pile of papers upon which were written calculations that had taken him twenty years to make. One evening, he left the room for a few minutes, and when he came back he found that his little dog "Diamond" had overturned a candle and set fire to the precious papers, of which nothing was left but a heap of ashes. You know what he did,

“Oh, Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest what mischief thou hast done” .

Both of the Great men have displayed the maturity of feeling brain as well the rational or thinking brain.
A Question to all of us, are we really spending some effort to mature the feeling brain we have. We all have to agree one thing that we are spending quite lot of effort to educate the thinking brain, where as we are least bothered about our feeling brain.
Just think what would have happened if your single-day effort in paper is spoiled by your kid / spouse / parent, would the reaction be same or better than Newton’s??
Lets us think to make the “FEELING BRAIN” better..

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment when i started to work, clearly revealed that i was more of a Intuition/Feeling person. But half a decade later, I was forced to move in the Sensing/Thinking direction because of the fact-based-decision making styles adopted in organisations. Its not just education that ruined me, work too played its part !
