Introduction of breaking paradigms.
I know we have started talking about the popcorn in the previous chapter, but I have more aspects of the popcorn we can analyze together. Have you ever allowed yourself to philosophize about popcorn? Or am I the only crazy one?
Pay close attention to it. Each one of them has a different shape, a different "format." If you have a popcorn package at home, I challenge you to sort out all sizes during the "pop-out, popping" process. You will be scared as well as amazed, just like me, to analyze each and every one of them.
Some popcorn pops just a little bit; others pop up more thoroughly. Some are white on the outside but burned on the inside, with a bitter taste, and some are beautiful and perfect within their imperfection. Each one is different from the other; each one is unique.
On that day, I started analyzing popcorn; the decision came up that, in addition to venting, I would also write about these deep thoughts. In my perception, each grain of corn is like our brain. The left and right sides, the creative and the rational side, our angel and our demon, our heaven, and our hell.
Each of us is born with skills and gifts, with unique stories and free will. We are the only ones responsible for having the life we have; we are the ones who we choose to be; we are who we think and believe that we are because creativity can be developed. However, curiosity generates an increase in neurological connections (synapses) and, therefore, the activation of new ideas.
Throughout our lives, we admire people and seek inspiration in idols, artists, people who work in the profession of our dreams, and sometimes even the smartest people around us. As we grow, we mature, going through millions of experiences; our idols start to change, and then our references also change.
It occurs mainly for two reasons, one because we think that those who inspired us already have their outdated or mediocre ideas and, therefore, no longer serve our admiration, or because they are already close to finishing their mission on the planet.
It is the law of life. It's just about being alive to be continually experiencing change, and we must understand and accept, as soon as possible, that the new human and technological generation is much more attentive to this revolution. Therefore, if we are not connected to transformations or become experts in the art of reinvention, we will be physically and mentally buried and swallowed up by our lack of getting up-to-date.
We know the word "eSperto" (in the Portuguese language), written with S, as a description of an intelligent, wise, cunning person, with refined reasoning and a good understanding of things; agile, active, attentive, connected, awake, engaging, and cool person.
The word ¨eXperto¨ (In the Portuguese Language), written with X, refers to an expert or specialist in a field, master, experienced, knowledgeable, experimenter, and connoisseur.
Regardless of whether the two words are homophones (same phonetics), they are correct, their meanings are different, and we must pay equal attention to them because of the constant changes in the labor market. If we do not look for something new and fast, life's surprises will not be so good, and we'll be caught off guard.
Surprises are not always good things, and if we are not prepared for this new world, the results may be quite disastrous.
After all, how to avoid this? Here is the magic: the more we search, get restless, curious, the more creative we become.
For example, not bothering to acquire new knowledge, study a different language, learn about other things, travel (it is not necessary to cross the world for this, it can be leaving your home and taking a walk in the city or a ride with the same bus ticket), absorb information that is freely available on the internet and social networks, look at different things around you. In short, if you don't exercise your brain (brain exercise known as Neurobics), you already have a considerable delay in your life. Don't waste your time doing nothing.
