2020.08.10 Part Four: Be excited for the future; but exceedingly calm about what you do

Patient Aphorism: Excited for the future; calm about what you do.

This refers to an underlying division of labor of the cerebral hemispheres.

The Right Hemisphere is focused on in situ, that is, what is happening here, there and everywhere, where should we go for a better life? What are the dangers? The pitfalls and the promises. Be excited, be ramped up. Let your energy flow. Feel good, feel concerned for the future.

Our mood changes when working; when working we stay focused and calm about the tasks at hand. Breathe calmly as you use your skills (for skills are the talents that have been made effective.) This is the job of the Left Hemisphere, to do things well, to not care about anything else, to express anger when interfered with while working,

The Left Hemisphere is the skills hemisphere. Here, by this hemisphere, we achieve efficiency and seek efficiency in everything we do. We hardly have to worry, we have skills that we use in making things happen. This is the job of the left hemisphere, to do things well.

A corollary to focus and feeling, fact and future, is to be

strengths based.

Never focus on weaknesses, "manage the weakness" if it interferes with the performance of work.
