Did you study multiple years on medical university? Are you sure you know everything about this complex science to state such exaggerated opinions about fake diseases?Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121488613768035467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406891653120763034.post-34637482141708906312011-04-25T17:22:32.873+02:002011-04-25T17:22:32.873+02:00We all have an intimate, emotional relationship wi...We all have an intimate, emotional relationship with time, it seems. I just had a profound cognition in understanding the Pomodoro Technique: Goal, Process and Metric are equal (!) with the result that the perception of time is radically changed, if not neutralized all together. Imagine timeless time: pure flow. - The PT is better than Time Management itself, I would almost call it Pure Theta. - http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/nilo de roockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332190734914631351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406891653120763034.post-35584489321703517412011-04-25T10:58:56.091+02:002011-04-25T10:58:56.091+02:00PS if anyone is interested I got 34 so according t...PS if anyone is interested I got 34 so according to Cohen I'm Aspergic good job that such labelling wasn't available when I was at school.Chris Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530660309554429226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406891653120763034.post-70905045198077405102011-04-25T10:48:11.702+02:002011-04-25T10:48:11.702+02:00Interesting Most of my colleagues at work and incl...Interesting Most of my colleagues at work and including myself feel they have some form of Asperger's. It works both ways, from societies view as a whole they can excuse their inadequacies in maths, physics or any intellectual activity by labelling people as having Asperger's.<br /><br />On the other hand it sort of gives those of us who are fascinated by Maths some sort of rationale to explain our lack of social skills. <br /><br />Of course the fact that society as a whole seems to be run by people who place more value on what people look like or how rich they are rather than prizing people for their intellectual ability probably has more to do with the dengiration of intellectual activity. It's interesting that it's mathematicians, engineers and scientists that are accused of having Asperger's syndrome as opposed to Composer's, Artist's or writer's. <br /><br />The point is that if you want to succeed in any intellectual or creative activity you need to spend large amounts of time on your own. By definition especially if you are trying to struggle to do a full time job that means that social life is going to suffer. <br /><br />Of course like the guy in Pi you can take this to extremes and it might all end with nothing to show for it. On the other hand trying to achieve something lasting is worth all the social oprobium that so called normal people heap on us.<br /><br />ChrisChris Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530660309554429226noreply@blogger.com
