Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #27: We All Harbor Our Own False Ways of Viewing the World.
   We hold false beliefs about ourselves, other people and the world. We are imperfect creatures and so this is inevitable. Never feel that you know everything, or that you are better than anyone else. For all we think that we know, we are probably only aware of a very small percentage of the true reality that is right in front of us. Thing of the fact that all of the creatures in the world have a different perceptual system. Why do they perceive the world the way they fo? Is it because their senses give them the truest view of the world? Not at all. Every creature out there only experiences the world through it’s own senses. It has no idea about any other way of perceiving.
   
   If you follow the evolutionary theory, it makes sense that our evolution has driven us to a perceptual system that allows us to survive in our environment. This applies to all animals. For example, thing about how we perceive objects as 3-D shapes, but we only actually see the surfaces of them. We can smell , but only within the close range around us. We only feel that which comes into contact with us personally. The range of information we have is very limited, and very prone to inaccuracies.
   
   Remember that we do not experience everything accurately, as it actually is. We only need to look up ‘logical fallacies’ or ‘cognitive biases’ on Wikipedia to recognize just how many common misperceptions we have. The best we can do is realize this fact, and never allow ourselves to feel that we know it all.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #26: When You Come Across A Word Or Term You Do Not Know, Look It Up.
   We live in an age where we have the privilege to look anything up in mere seconds. Many people have quick access to great resources in their own home. Some of the best resources are a dictionary, a thesaurus, an Wikipedia (or a general encyclopedia as a substitute). Of course, if you don’t have these in your own home, you can find them at a library. Vocabulary is closely linked to intelligence, and there is a clear reason for this. The more words and terms you know, the easier it is to understand new concepts and ideas. Learn new words so you can expand you learning and your understanding.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #25: Exercise You Brain by Acting as if Everything is Important.
   Everything you do and every experience you have is potentially important. Everything everyone says is potentially vital, and if you were more focused on thinking of a television show you wanted to watch later, you could miss it. By considering everything as important, you may learn more.. People with photographic memories often describe a feeling that in their minds nothing is ever less or more important than something else. Because of this they are able to remember everything exactly as it happened.
   
   Usually, our brains naturally tell us that X information is important, and Y isn’t. In this case, X might be a new work assignment, and Y might be choosing if you want to eat cereal or oatmeal for breakfast. Most of the time what your brain decides is probably correct. Some things are more important than others, naturally. But every once in a while you can be wrong, and something that you thought was important actually was not, or vice versa. Try acting as if everything is potentially important for one day, and see how it affects your thinking.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #24: Be Aware of Your Surroundings.
   Although Sherlock Holmes is fictional, he is an interesting character to see in action. Many times he notices something present that does not fit with the expected context. Other times, he find something absent that normally should be present in a given context. He observes very carefully, very analytically, and sees things most people would miss. You really never know what you can miss if you aren’t looking around. Most of us get so caught up in our own lives that we fail to “smell the roses”, as they say. Being more aware of your surroundings is good for your survival, and maybe even for finding unexpected gems. Perhaps you’ll notice a new restaurant you missed, or see a baby smiling at you, or see an old friend you almost didn’t notice. Life isn’t always all work. Take a moment to look around and learn from what the world has to show you.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #23: If You Often Think Abstractly, Consider the Concrete Tangible Reality. If You Often Think Concretely, Consider the World of Ideas.
   It may be most useful to bridge the two styles. Most of us actually have a tendency toward one of the other. It may have to do with out upbringing. If you grew up in a house of professors, you are probably used to thinking in concepts. If you grew up in a house of farmers, you may be more used to dealing with real world things, like animals and plants. Both ways are important to getting along in the world. Tangible things make up reality, and so we have to be familiar with them and know how they work. Abstract concepts and ideas help us understand broader areas more quickly, without needing to literally see them or touch them. When we use both ways of thinking, we acquire a more accurate view of the real world for what it is.
