- TODAY'S ERA PEOPLE ENGAGE DIFFERENT-DIFFERENT THINGS AND LAKH OF THOUGHTS ROLLING OUT IN OUR MIND,A LITTLE STORY FROM PRESENCE LITERALLY HELP FOR MANAGE THOUGHTS.
In eighteen-century french philosopher and writer "Denis Diderot"was at a dinner party ,engaged in debat over a topic that he knew well .but perhaps he want himself on that evening a bit self-conscious,distracted,worried about looking foolish.Diderot found himself at a loss for words,incapable of cobbling together a clever response.soon after he left the party.
once outside,on his way down the staircase,Diderot continued to reply that humiliating moment in hs mind,just as he reached the bottom of the stairs,he founded it.should he turn around ,walk back up the stairs,and return to the party to deliver his witty comback?of course not .it was too late.the moment -and ,with it,the opportunity had passed.Regrat washed over him.if only he had the presence of mind to find those words when he needed him.
Reflecting on this experience in 1773,Diderot wrote,"A sensitive man,such as myself,overwhelmed by the argument leveled against him,becomes confused and can only think clearly again (when he reachs)the bottom of stairs."
alan watts wrote in the wisdom of insecurity,"to understand music,you must listen to it.but so long as you are thinking,i am listening to this music,"'you are not listening'when you are in job interview,you can not understand or engage fully with the interviewer or present the self you do like to present.
