Psychology: Passion + Logic = the foundation of success

Published by tuannguyen under Ideas Edit This

I’ve been spending for many years wondering about human mind. There is no motivation in that, it is just my nature, something that drives my life in a certain interesting direction. Today, I have consumed all the previous thoughts in the past to come up with a fact. A fine good one. The two core factors that make people suceed in this hierarchial society are one’s logic and passion. We need a logical thinking process in order to figure out a problem or to invent a new truth while a strong passion motivates us to stand up and fight for it.

Ironically, many parents have been taking kids to good schools hoping for their kids’ bright future. Schools are just a part of sucess, a big part actually. However, we should know what is in students’ mind when they are attending schools. There is a fact that, schools don’t teach us these two core elements of sucess. What schools teach us are knowledge, as I dub it “language“.

So why can knowledge be language, then? Obviously, liturature is a language where we use words to transmit our logical messages. Math and computer programing are also languages as numbers are characters used to communicate. Such more complex things are also languages in which are proven already such as “relativity theory” of Einstein or the word “New Deal” implying the whole national reforming program of Franklin Roosevelt. More interesting, martial art is also a language where fighter use the movements of the body to communicate with the oppononet to express his emotion and logic, and the winner has more prudent attack and defense strategies.

So what we use language for? To communicate is the answer. You learn languages to transmit your logical process and order with a result that people need and expect. History proved it. Edison used the language of science to invent the lamp with his amazing logic and an unlimited passion which motivated him to try hundreds of kinds of metal wires.

We go to school to study language, while logic and passion can be trained by yourselves.

Sometimes we have to use logic to learn a language, and once it is absorbed into your brain, that result becomes a term of a languge in which you are dovoting in, because we don’t have to use logic to figure that result out again.

In this way, the knowledge of language represents the level of one person in which can be seen in his title such as doctor, lawyer, professor or actor. He masters his language. However, we sometimes see sucessfull lawyers or politicians on the TV while there are still somebody find a hard time to seek for job with PhDs on their hands, that is because there is a huge gap between their logic and passion.

You (logic + passion + laguange) –> communicate –> hierarchial society

Can Communism helps nations to reach the wealth?

Published by tuannguyen under Ideas Edit This

Yes, we can. National ideologies are just like our human personalitires. Sucess of each is that how one can reach his goals of life. Since the purpose of Communism and Capitialism are different, each has its own way to claim the wealth.

Oddly, Communism was created by Lenin in Russia, but it has the same traits as the ancient China’s imperial system. The Chinese has been familiar with this idea for 3000 years, which way explains the do-so-well economy of the modern China under the Mao version of Communism. Let me reveal to you the ancient Cathay’s prosperity to understand more about the commune system.

While the US with Captalism forming the pop culture worships wealthy investors and entertainment talents, the society of ancient China respected the wise and educated people. Actually, they didn’t trust who owned much, but sought for men who were willing to solve people’s relationship tension, helping other to overcome their problems and guiding them to reach greater spiritual lives of happiness. Don’t get me wrong, here. This kind of lifestyle was not an excuse for poverty at all. Instead, China had been the richest civilization before the political crisis in 18th century. They owned “gadgets” and enjoyed novel industry that other nations couldn’t catch up with. The empire also had fierce armies with great weapons and shrewd scholars who mastered strategies and tactics. Regardless how rich they were, the China society looked down on money. The man who reach the top of the social ladder is the one who worked for the imperial and spent time using his educated wisdom to seek for the solution, theories and projects that help the nation to soar. It was not how much he owned to be recognized, but the record of how much he delivered to the community was the factor that counted.

Accusing Communism for years, American hasn’t understand bit of the sytem and the culture. The point of Capitalism is to accumulate for individual while Communism people try to deliver to the community. Children under this government system must be educated to share with other and work for the goodness of the nation. That is the only way to help a Communism nation sucess. The failure of former Communist nations was because of their lack of understanding in Communist, while China leaders understand its similarity with their former ancient system and have been making good use on it.
