Most people (especially men) pride themselves on being totally rational in personal, business and most social matters… however, if you read the following, it does not appear to be the case…

From: Phineas Gage Group… (see here)

"Every time you have to make choices in your personal life, you need to 'feel' the projected emotional outcome of each choice - subconsciously or intuitively. That feeling guides you and gives you a motivation to make the best choice, often in a split second. When people make decisions that affect their own lives, they will utilize emotional parts of the brain, even though the task itself may not seem emotional."

What are your thoughts and conclusions on this matter…???

The emotional feeling of a completed task, be the end result success or failure, obviously has an emotional attachment, as we are PEOPLE, HUMAN BEINGS, and as such emotions are a part of who we are and what defines us.

Also, the quote you used is in relation to "personal life". Business, according to some schools of thought, has no need for emotion as they can be twisted and played upon by the uncouth.

In addition, I would say that women are the more emotionally unavailable in terms of business. While in their personal lives it does appear they a woman is many times more emotional than a man, they have the practice and therefore the ability to turn off that emotion and be cold as well as decisive in the boardroom as well as personal life. Men, ruled by testosterone (in most cases), are more indecisive TOWARDS MANY MATTERS. However, that being said, once a man has committed himself, it is a steadfast commitment that is broken only under the most severe circumstances.

In the end, I would say your quote and your question are not in line with what you intended.

No thoughts, as of yet, but I was quite surprised to learn that there was actually a Group named after the first man to have ever accidentally lobotimized himself.


Thinking some more ...

I think emotion drives reason/rationality. Without emotion, we wouldn't care enough to think things through rationally. But then, irrationality results when the emotions get too strong and overwhelm our capacity for reason.

I think to myself......."Self what would Donald Trump or Gordon Gekko do?" Then I try and emulate them by losing hair and buying dress shirts with horizontal stripes.

Wee, I've already got the hair loss, but there's no way I'm going to wear pinstripes..

Now that was downright funny GB

I guess being true to oneself has run out of steam so time for a new topic.

Well, there is a certain TSGer I've been meaning to make fun of ... but I'm guessing that's not what you had in mind.

Nice to meet you johnnyburst79 and thank your for your reply… however, I must admit that I have rarely seen so many points that I disagree with in one post…

The emotional feeling of a completed task, be the end result success or failure, obviously has an emotional attachment, as we are PEOPLE, HUMAN BEINGS, and as such emotions are a part of who we are and what defines us.

Agree…

Also, the quote you used is in relation to "personal life".

Do we have another… than a “personal" one…???

Business, according to some schools of thought, has no need for emotion as they can be twisted and played upon by the uncouth.

Business has not need for “emotion” you say… that may well be… but how do you get rid of emotions… last time I checked… they were always with us…

In addition, I would say that women are the more emotionally unavailable in terms of business.

Strange way of putting it… but, anyway… ask any woman if she would rather do business with a man or a woman… and why… you’ll be surprised at the reply… when was the last time you saw a man starting to cry on the job…???

While in their personal lives it does appear they a woman is many times more emotional than a man, they have the practice and therefore the ability to turn off that emotion and be cold as well as decisive in the boardroom as well as personal life.

So, they cannot control emotions at home… but they can do it on the job… interesting…

Men, ruled by testosterone (in most cases), are more indecisive TOWARDS MANY MATTERS. However, that being said, once a man has committed himself, it is a steadfast commitment that is broken only under the most severe circumstances.

So, testosterone makes you indecisive… interesting again… I always thought it made you more aggressive… but indecisive…???

In the end, I would say your quote and your question are not in line with what you intended.

How is that so…???

I usually shoot from the hip - so I guess I would be considered emotional instead of rational (in most cases, except for money and family matters)

How about just once you give your thoughts on the subject you start a thread on?

Oh............. I'm thinking it would be a whole new ballgame if you had to write your own stuff.

Shamou, have you heard of Phineas Gage and his claim to fame?
