Mind Chronicles

It's all about Psychology.  The world is now populated with six point something billion people.  That's 6,XXX,XXX,XXX... quite a lot of x's dont ya think..  What makes a single person stands out all depends on this simple and yet effective science, Psychology.  Just look at everywhere, Psychology is evidently being used from marketing down to simple basic human relationships.  When you think about it, it does make sense.  We are all human beings, with body, spirit and soul. The soul of each person resides in the mind or more scientifically termed, the brain.  The brain as we all know is an amazing organ.  Scientists are still quite baffled about how the brain actually works.  It is the seat of our consciousness.  Everything we do, speak and think goes through our brain.  In short, the brain is what makes us ourselves.  Now, psychology deals with the study of human behavior.  Frankly, I find this definition of psychology rather amusing and improbable, simply because that one just cannot categorize a person's behavior.  We are all unique one way or the other.  I had read one time in an application form for VISA approval, that no two application forms are the same ever... therefore careful assessment of each application is needed in order to provide correct and accurate evaluation.  That just shows how variable this life can be, and so can be the people living in it.  We're straining too far from our topic of the powers of Psychology, so I'm gonna dive back into it.  It is sad but true that most of what we have studied for the last 21 years in our lives are useless, that is if we don't use Psychology.  Forget about being an honor student, grades only reflect in score cards.  Forget about being a topnotcher, it is only good while it lasts (around 1 month, the most 3) .  When you're in the real world, everything boils down on how you perceive other's thinking and anticipating it.  Always think like the enemy. What-would-I-do-if-I-was-the-killer kind of questions.  If you can somehow unravel the mysteries of the brain, then you will be king!  I am not saying that I have already mastered this art of mind reading.  I am still a student of this art as all of us still are.  A pilgrim will encounter many obstacles in his journey, as do we encounter different people throughout our lives.  If we are to succeed in this so-called life, we have to somehow have a firm grasp of this art.  From simple gestures to nuances in words and tone to body language, these are just some of the key areas of the Art. This is supposed to be just a blog not a scientific journal about Psychology so I'm gonna leave it there.  All of us have this innate ability of the Art, what we need is only practice. How? You might ask.  Simply through experience.  And fortunately, that's just what life is generously offering.
