Eisenhower’s Rule, Pareto Principle, Einstein’s Relativity, and Kahneman: How We Think Differently About Life and Time

Eisenhower’s rule, Pareto’s 80/20 principle, and Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow encourage us to think differently about how we approach life and decision-making. Einstein’s relativity theory shows how our perceptions of time and reality shape who we are. These ideas challenge us to rethink our behaviors, perceptions, and the way we interact with the world.

This week I was suddenly touched to my heart by a remark I heard on television. It was about the remark: "Hurry when you have time, because then you have time left when you are in a hurry." This comment immediately made me think of all the time I had abused as a teacher in adult education to give lessons in time management. I still remember the good tips I was allowed to hand out in those days. Consider, for example, the eighty-twenty rule, "the law of the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923)." Or the story about the American president and former army commander in the Second World War: "Eisenhower (1890-1969)", the so-called law that there are always nonsensical things on our to-do list, which you can actually "just" let happen, because no one will ever crow about it anyway.

These ideas challenge us to rethink our behaviors, perceptions, and the way we interact with the world.

Do you ever have time to spare?

As a gifted person, I should always have a lot of time on my hands, because my thinking about the things I understand should be much faster than the average person. Time to spare, what a luxury I hear you say. You don't recognize that in yourself at all, if only you had more time at your disposal. Another wise remark about time is: "Time is relative". Sometimes you think you spend a lot of time solving something, but when you hear someone else say that the assignment was "a piece of cake" for him or her, you scratch your head again. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) once invented the theory of relativity for a reason. However, German-Swiss-

American theoretical physicist of Jewish descent argues that gravity is the way in which mass warps space and time, the greater the mass, the more it warps things. In simple words, Einstein said here: "that planets bend space and time like a bowling ball bends a trampoline."

Can you say that everything is relative?

Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember a time when the cry "everything is relative" was very popular among the world's population. Suddenly everyone shouted this cry when it suited him or her. With this, people thought they could talk their way out of everything, no one suddenly felt responsible for his or her actions anymore. Many people were "at a loss for words", and stopped giving counterarguments, everything had to be possible. Does "liberalism" come from this? The people in the world, or in certain countries, in my opinion, grew apart. I still remember the sessions in the classes where a group of about thirty students had to look after a balloon together and then be allowed to tell independently of each other what they had seen.

Was that Vase really that different?

Of course, as "usual", many of these people repeat each other, but there were differences. The exercise was intended to explain that we humans are all different from each other. We all look, feel and hear differently.  So understanding each other completely from our own point of view will unfortunately never work, was the conclusion at the time. "Hurry when you have time, because you have time when you're in a hurry." But what is rushing, and what is time?" What gear are you working in today? Is the interest you have in a certain subject or object also important? Do you still recognize those moments as a child when you had to do things, but you tried to postpone these things as long as possible?

Is postponement always cancellation?

Another great question: "Is postponement always cancellation?" as I wrote earlier, Dwight Eisenhower could understand this remark, and let's be honest, it is often the case. If you adjust something, and there is no one around you who ever reminds you of it, it's easy to just forget about it, right? And have you ever thought about the consequences afterwards, for you and or someone else? A well-known author: Daniel Kahneman (1934-2024) this Israeli-American Psychologist has written a lot about us humans. A well-known work by this writer is the book "Our fallible thinking." (2011) Well, we can sometimes think differently than we had thought beforehand, or our perception can sometimes fool us, after all, we only know something when we know it exists!

Does everything we can think of exist?

We often live in dream images, or the perception we get from something. The source of this is often things that we have already experienced or recognize as such. Our thoughts then elaborate on this, and if no one else interferes with our thoughts with his or her thoughts, and proves us "wrong", then that is our truth. We think that our world is getting bigger and bigger, but in reality it only grows in our heads. In 1984 the group Dire Straits released the song Brothers in arms. The following lines appear in this song:" There's so many different worlds. So many different suns. And we have just one world. But we live in different ones. And so it came to pass, in our eyes we still live in the same world, and in the same time, and we still hurry when we feel we have little time, and not when we are well into our time.

Discover Your True Self: Overcome Trauma, Thrive in Life, and Find Happiness

Picure: Chopra

Living can be overwhelming, especially with limited resources. We work hard, face conflicts, and struggle with self-esteem. Understanding your true self, recognizing traumas, and accepting life can lead to genuine happiness. Embrace simplicity, surround yourself with soulmates, and seek help if needed.

Happiness

Do you live in a big city, feeling overwhelmed by its vastness and your limited resources? Many of us dream of a well-deserved vacation, seeking the sun or snow to unwind. We work hard throughout the year, enduring both physical and mental strains because we need our income. Physical aches and mental struggles are common, but we push through because our livelihoods depend on it.

Navigating Conflicts and Misunderstandings

Unfortunately, misunderstandings are part of life. We face conflicts with people who may not like us or those who always feel the need to know better. Often, these individuals are in higher positions and struggle with their managerial roles. They bring personal struggles from home to work, affecting their interactions. Untrained to handle such situations, they spend their lives striving for recognition.

The Role of Power and Flexibility in Our Lives

Power is essential for many to maintain self-esteem in today's complex world. Flexibility is a demanded quality, but is it natural for us? Some excel in one area, while others thrive by adapting to various tasks. Despite our differences, life demands adaptation, leading to emotional overwhelm, especially for flexible individuals.

Understanding Situational Leadership and Personal Behavior

Paul Hersey and Kenneth Blanchard’s Situational Leadership model and Timothy Leary’s Rose of Leary have significantly influenced how we interact with others. Despite their achievements, many struggle with understanding their true selves. Have you perfectly adapted to others for years, making everyone happy but yourself? The book "Traumasporen" by Bessel van der Kolk reveals the deep impact of trauma on our lives.

The Hidden Impact of Trauma

Experiences from childhood or adolescence, thought to be long processed, often linger in our bodies and minds. Consider the things you avoid, people you shun, or foods you dislike. Reactions you can’t explain might be rooted in past traumas, deeply engraved in your brain. We often overestimate our control over nature and life, ignoring our own needs and well-being.

Learning to Govern Ourselves

Humans, unique in our ability to think about thoughts, often ignore nature’s lessons. Animals adapt, avoid unnecessary conflicts, and maintain natural balance. Stress and trauma in animals are minimal, except when influenced by human actions. Humans, however, struggle with thoughts and self-governance, leading to unnecessary stress.

Rediscovering Yourself for a Happier Life

Do you want to be yourself again? Understanding who you are, recognizing potential traumas, and accepting your life can lead to genuine happiness. Surround yourself with soulmates, stop trying to convince others, and seek help if needed. Embrace life as it is meant for you, and learn from animals—they set a great example for us!

Understanding Human Relationships: Navigating Love, Lies, and the Future of Family

Explore the complexities of human relationships, from the initial search for a partner driven by sexual urges to the challenges of maintaining honesty and communication. Discover insights on why we reproduce, the impact of societal expectations, and strategies for dealing with heartbreak. Learn how to navigate love, lies, and the future of family in our ever-changing world.

What is the reality that you and I are living in right now? What is the situation we live in, and do our circumstances shape our reality? Do we see things as they truly are, or have we lost the ability to perceive them accurately as human beings?Have you ever wondered how you perceive things and what your reality is? Can we, as human beings, still see and process the things that are important for our lives?

How do you see the future for yourself and your children?

Do you think your children still have a future? Does it still make sense to conceive and raise children? I think a good question here is: "Why do we, as humans, have children at all?" I carry a certain philosophy with me that I would very much like to share with you. Why do we reproduce despite the misery of these times? Let's start at the beginning. We humans experience sexual urges at a fairly young age. These urges make us seek a sexually attractive partner to indulge our lusts. This partner can be of any sex, although homosexual partners cannot reproduce together. In the beginning of these relationships, we look for someone attractive to us, whether for procreation or other reasons.

Do we always find the right partner right away?Picture: Blackfield

The search for a first partner is not always easy. What do we look for? Do we only listen to our feelings? Do we consider skin color, height, hair color, character, or sexual attractiveness? Knowing that, like animals, we are primarily driven by smell or an ideal image presented to us everywhere we look? Often, our parents prepare us for what to expect, but most of us quickly forget those lessons. Are we looking for the toughest guy or the prettiest girl? Being alone in this world for too long is seen as a flaw, something others will judge. And notice, "we usually listen to the words of others."

Can we control our urges?

What others and our own passions tell us lead us on the path of pretense. We pretend to be the best we can and make sure we look as attractive as possible to that one person. This game of pretending continues when we connect with the person we desire. Our hormones run high during this process. We get butterflies in our stomachs and long for the first hugs. To get these first hugs and satisfy our sexual feelings, we often go too far, in my opinion. If the truth is not enough, we create a new truth on the spot. We tend to fabricate a reality. Many people often end up in the arms of another through these lies. But I've always been taught, "No matter how long the lie lasts, the truth will catch up with it."

When did you tell the truth to your current partner?

Many people initially get away with the lies or fictitious feelings, but after having children, when the sexual feelings no longer dominate, they fall through the cracks. Suddenly, the romantic veil falls away and the partners see each other's true characteristics. They see the person they fell in love with through their sexual urges with new eyes. The feeling fades, and they start looking for more. Maybe their sexual urges are no longer adequately satisfied, and they don't dare to talk about it with their current partner.

Are you and your partner still talking about the right things?

In my opinion, the high number of divorces today is mainly due to poor communication from the start, driven by indispensable sexual urges. People revert to their true selves over time and can no longer maintain their previous lies to their partner. They regain desires from before the relationship, which they had forgotten because of their sexual urges. If not for these urges, they might have chosen someone else in the first place.

Do you know how to deal with heartbreak?

When the misery or relief of divorce happens, I hope that at the beginning of a new relationship, people understand what they did wrong before and choose the "right" path. Remember that heartbreak often means missing a previously lost individuality. Because of previous lies, many people tap into a different self. When you're heartbroken, try to find yourself. Listen to music from before the breakup. Do the things you enjoyed before the failed relationship. Reconnect with people you lost by entering into this relationship and apologize for past behaviors. Enjoy life again, fall in love again, and listen to your mind first, and then to those butterflies in your stomach. Good luck.

Hatred Vs Love

"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not."

—Andre Gide

We don't even look out for answers to our difficulties, it is we that create and destroy. Winnie Harlow is a great example in front of us, she is a Canadian fashion model, public speaker, and activist. She has been diagnosed with a very bad skin condition, and in the medical term, it is called vitiligo. She had been affected at the age of four, Once, she hardly understood what is called "disease." Hence it is better hatred than love

Reckless meaning: What chanakya said.

If a king is energetic, his subjects will be equally energetic. If he is reckless, they will not only be reckless likewise, but also eat into his works. Besides, a reckless king will easily fall into the hands of his enemies. Hence the king shall ever be wakeful.

A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought; they must be earned.

A fit body is a source of wealth. In Indian methodology and in yogic science, eating has given the first priority. It is said that, One who eats once a day is a Yogi (saint), One who easts twice a day is Bhogi (food lover), and one who eats thrice a day is Rogi (patient).

In Mahabharat, it is also related to health, strength and disease respectively. The most of the deceases are arise from the wring eating patterns of the modern societies. Three plus meals and snacks every day causing less in production of insulin.
