Know thy fear...

Read it somewhere....there are three types of fear for which you can not be trained no matter how hard one tries...I mean how to counter them can not be taught...

....... the startle reaction upon hearing an unexpected noise
....... Vertigo
....... Rapid and direct approach of a known killer...

Don't know whether its true...but its good to know that sometimes its ok to be afraid....:)

Short sighted by default?....

So I was thinking....suppose we are given a task of writing something...
and we are given a pen and say 10 pages ...we have been told thats all you will get as the material for writing...what do we do normally?

We will use the paper in such a way that it will last us as long as possible...we will try to scribble on paper with smaller and smaller letters with minimum gaps in between....we will not leave margins...we will not let go even a centimeter of space waste....and will constantly worry about running out of paper....but how come we never think of running out of pen? Do we take pen for granted here? :) Or do we think controlling paper is in our hands...controlling pen is out of our reach? :)

Are we trained by default to concentrate on the problem that is tangible?

A beetle maybe....

Found this tiny fellow on the stairs...and it let me click the snap without any trouble...
