Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #17: Compare Different Systems to Each Other and Ask Yourself how They are Similar or Dissimilar.
   You can consider systems such as the human body, the universe, the ecosystems, etch. This will broaden your understanding of more and more topics. Many systems can have unexpected similarities that can be easy to miss if you don’t make the conscious effort to make connections. Take the human brain and computer programming, for example. Computer code is in binary, this means that 0’s and 1’s are used to encode whether a feature is on or off. The brain has a similar feature. Neurons guide our thought processes and brain functions, but they are designed either to fire or not fire (turn on or off). Therefore, neurons and computer code have a core similarity. The smallest component of both act fairly simply, but when compounded into networks of billions of 0’s and 1’s, or billions of neurons that fire and don’t fire, the possibilities are endless. These kinds of connections can help you see how fields that seem completely different actually have some things in common. Making broad connections is often a key to making a creative breakthrough. In this case, knowledge of these different fields could be used to make new discoveries in the field of artificial intelligence.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #16: You Have Complete Responsibility Over Yourself.
   There will not always be someone else to guide you along. You need to learn to acquire and maintain your basic necessities, even if no one else is there to help. As children, we learn early on to rely on our guardians for help with everything. They shelter us, feed us, and watch after us in every way. As we get older we need to realize that we have full responsibility over ourselves. Fortunately, we do live in societies where everyone takes a small piece of the responsibility for all of us. This allows many of us to have peace of mind most of the time. We expect stores to carry food, the police to catch criminals, and generally for things to be orderly and predictable in society.
   
   The reality is that anything can happen. The future is unforeseeable. Everyone is responsibly for themselves first before others (the exception being if you have young children), an that means if a truly unpredictable situation happens, people will watch out for themselves first. Because of this, you will need to take care of your own needs too, since everyone else would be too busy taking care of themselves. A few situations that can happen are a need for you to defend yourself, a need to find your own food, or a need to survive in extreme weather. Our ancestors had instincts that we are losing because of our comfortable lives in modern society. It is dangerous to become too comfortable. Part of being truly intelligent is preparing for the unpredictable and unexpected.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #15: Consider Opposing Perspectives to the Ones you Normally Hold.
   Try to mentally take the place of someone who holds another perspective, or who lives life in the opposing camp to your own. Just thinking more deeply about their daily lives and why they believe what they believe can be mind opening. Another important way to expand your horizons is to read up on how people in the opposing camp think about the issue. What kind of books, sites, and television stations to they get their information from? You can start there to get closer to understanding how they think. Make the effort to understand more deeply, rather than dismiss their beliefs and concerns offhand. Realize that you cannot truly disagree with someone’s viewpoint until you completely understand what it is that they believe and why they believe it. Also realize that if you always get your information from the people who hole your won views, then you are missing out on getting a bigger picture understanding.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #14: We Almost Always Have Imperfect Information on Hand with Which to Make Decisions.
   Pretty much every real life decision that comes up can of an infinite amount of directions. You simply can’t calculate or know for sure what will happen based on your actions. There are way too many variables. Just to name a few, there are reactions of anyone involved, unexpected setbacks (bad weather, a car accident), and your level of training may not have prepared you to make a good decision in the first place. How people deal with this inability to know what will happen is super important to their life success. We can start by looking at how to tackle the few examples I mentioned above. We need to learn how to read people better ,. and know if they can help us to take the right actions. We need to avoid setbacks as much as possible, perhaps by driving extra carefully in bad weather. We also need to be aware of our own training and background, and gauge if we are prepared for any given challenge. If we are under-prepared, we need to make it known or seek out help in making decisions.
   
   Something important to realize is that instinctual or intuitive processes may carry more weight than trying to think logically through every problem that comes up. We often see intuitive people as less logical and less accurate in their approach, byt the reality may be different. People who make quick intuitive decisions often realize that there is a lot of imperfect information they have to deal with. This means they don’t have the complete information to know what to do. To have the complete information would literally mean to see the future and know what the outcome of any action would be. None of us can do this. Often times experts can make intuitive decisions well, but novices need more time to try to evaluate the scenario. We have to learn to deal with the fact that we can never know for sure what the results of our actions will be. Get used to making decisions with imperfect information on hand. It is a valuable skill to have.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #13: Practice Questioning the Things in Life That we Tend to Take for Granted as Being Normal and Sensible.
   Seek answers for yourself or from those around you. For example, consider your cultural traditions and practices, your religion, the layout of your towns, etc. When you question deeply, yo sometimes find that there are many possible ways to approach any given topic or field. For example, some cultures have gotten along fine without technology even in modern times. There are so many ways a town or city could be built, that way do they all pretty much have the same setup? Sometimes when we question enough, we can find a better way to do things. Perhaps we can even think up an invention or a whole new way of doing things that most people missed.
