You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind but you can't make up an empty mind. You cannot flush out anything from your brain. Why? Because it is a repository of information. It only takes input and processes the data and makes it organized, linked and mapped with other related and associated information. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it. Your mind is your house and if you fill it with rubbish from the cinemas it will rot in your head.
Suppose you wanted to arrive at a specific location like a beautiful landscape and you find a route map that would be a great help to you in reaching your destination. But suppose you were given the wrong map. But still you are unaware whether you are reaching to your destination or not. You go on following the map. Can you imagine the frustration, the ineffectiveness of trying to reach your destination?
You might work on your behavior -- you could try harder. Be more diligent. Double your speed. But your efforts would only succeed in getting you to the wrong place faster. You might work on your attitude -- you could think more positively. You still wouldn't get to the right place, but perhaps you wouldn't care. Your attitude would be so positive, you'd be happy wherever you were.
The point is, you'd still be lost. The fundamental problem has nothing to do with your behavior or your attitude. It has everything to do with having a wrong map.
When you encounter frustrating obstacles along the way, then attitude can make a real difference. But the first and most important requirement is the accuracy of the map.
We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of those assumptions. The way we see things is the source of the way we think and the way we act.
Stock your mind with all possible information that is required for you mind to analyze and give you a right plan to implement. The more information you give, the more accurately will be the plan. Your brain is a super computer when supplied with input and predefined result, it gives the result as you specified. Your work is to supply with sufficient right data to it.
It is not a program to give Insufficient Data Error or Data out of range error. It doesn’t throw any exception. It processes with only available required information and produces the result which you perceive to be the actual result you desired. So,
Stock your mind, Stock your mind, Stock your mind.
