The Other 90%: Unlock Your Vast Untapped Potential

According to researchers, one of the quickest and most powerful ways to learn something new is to analyze the person, situation, or challenge, and determine how it is unique. Our brains are wired to think relatively. The brain will try to fit this person, this situation, this challenge into a category of people, situations, or challenges it has seen before. This is the quickest and easiest thing to do.

The problem is that we are all looking for the easiest and quickest way to do something because we never have any time. If we can assume something about someone and then assume we are right, that is one less thing to deal with in our hectic schedules. Consider this: Perhaps our schedules are so hectic because we keep making incorrect assumptions and then have to spend more time fixing the resultant misunderstandings. In presuming to know the intentions and motives of others, we trap ourselves.
