The Paradox of Choice..Why MORE is LESS..
Decisions after decisions.
Choices and then...more choices.
The book says of how more options may prove to be detrimental. I looked into the mirror and wondered if I am a maximizer..or a satisficer.
A person who analyzes, researches, weighs options, ponders prior making decisions and then, ponder again if those decisions were the best ones.
Or a person who knows what they want and relishes in joy upon achieving it regardless of better opportunities posted in the future.
Hmm...
Results of survey show that, people who are well off enough to lead a comfortable life have almost similar levels of happiness to people who are extremely rich. Money counts. But when you have enough money to be happy, more money wont escalate the level of happiness. True? I dont know..cause I'm not very rich mar...
Reminded me of a chapter in Outliers - The Story of Success by Malcom Gladwell ( which btw is a REALLY good book)
Chapter on "The Trouble With Geniuses, Part 1" makes one reevaluate the overrated hoo-hah on high IQ. Says here in the books...
A person with an IQ of 50 would not have the mental ability to attend regular school
A person with an IQ of 75 might not be able to master elementary subjects in regular school
A person with an IQ of 105 might not be able to accommodate academic curriculum in high school/ college
A person with an IQ of 115 might not be able to graduate from a 4 year accredited four year college
In short, to graduate and to have sufficient mental ability to obtain a degree and succeed, you need a minimal of an IQ of 115. Beyond that, other factors come into play to determine success! Right? Quote
A mature scientist with an adult IQ of 130 is as likely to win a Nobel Prize as one whose IQ is 180.
Hmm..is there always a certain benchmark? For humans will constantly hunger for more. When will it be enough for us? When should we stop running and chasing and start being happy?
I wonder.
