The Importance Of Intuitions

Improved Essays
Did you ever wonder why you look at something like a math problem and immediately know the answer without too much thought? Then you have found your 3rd eye, or as many know it as your intuition. You may know your intuition by other things like your gut, or destiny. Your intuition lets you think unconsciously since its memories from your past, or even perhaps a past life (if that’s what you believe in). One’s intuition can give someone a brilliant idea and then start brainstorming with that idea. Your intuition won’t solve everything every time though, but it will give you a head start on the right path.
There are many ways people use their intuition in everyday matters. Some may think that your intuition isn’t that important, but I

Your intuition doesn’t have to only come from thought though, but also from experience. You could’ve done something a while ago that was either good, or bad and now know wither its safe or not.
When I was younger I used to eat dog food and got sick from it, but now I know not to eat it with giving a thought about it because I know it is gross. I don’t let my mind come up with a reason why not to, since I am confident that I shouldn’t eat it. Same may go with trying to pull at a cat’s tail. You know immediately that the cat won’t like it and will probably try and scratch at you. Same may go with a tone of voice or mood. If your friend is speaking very rather harsh, you’re not going to be thinking up reasons like is he happy or sad? No you will be thinking he’s angry immediately and without a doubt. Same by their posture, if they are rather stiff then they are not comfortable and rather uneasy. Believe it or not, but your intuition has probably saved you more than once and maybe even try and kill you. Has there ever been a time where you were high up and you get the urge to jump if you look down because I sure have! Do you have a fear of heights, or know someone who is? Well it

What would be the first thing you would do if someone points a gun at you? You would either run, submit to them, or maybe even charge at them. If placed into a situation where you don’t have time to think, your intuition kicks in. Be careful with your intuition though cause it may not always be right, just close usually. So never give up if you don’t get it, but try and finish it instead. One’s intuition is a wonderful thing and can make you a genius if given the right resources.
Many brilliant minds today all trust their intuition like Steve Jobs with his apple company. He even talks about how he’s where he is today cause of his intuition. Your intuition can make you come up with some pretty creative ideas, if you let your mind flow freely. That’s what artist do as a matter of fact, they don’t sit there thinking about how can I draw these squiggly lines, but they simply do it without much thought.
They let their intuition do the painting. We all have a little artist in us, we simply just need to learn how to let it out

    The great Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) one said, “I have never let schooling get in the way of a good education. The author Malcolm Gladwell wrote about a proposition of needing 10,000 hours of working at a craft to become really good at it, if not a master. I can agree with this statement, in that amount of time, repetition and sheer experience lead to a higher quality of work.

    Malcolm Gladwell in his book, Blink, suggests that thin-slicing suggests that spontaneous decisions are either better of just as good as carefully planned and considered decisions. Gladwell supports his claim by using examples of how normal, every-day people have had experiences with thin-slicing. Gladwell’s purpose is to use examples of regular people and their experiences with thin-slicing in order to persuade readers that intuitive judgment is developed by experience, training, and knowledge. Gladwell adopts an informative tone for teens, adults, and teachers. Gladwell makes a few main points and uses a few main characters to help his audience understand his main points better.…

    Being threatened with a gun is a worst case scenario and if the attacker only wants your valuables then the safest option is to give it to them. The only time that you should try to fight back against a gun is when there is no other option and you know that your life is in danger, for example, if they just shot your companion and now they are turning the gun at you or if they want you to go to another location with them. Remember, once you get into a car with them, your chances of being found alive are not very good. Be aware that in order for a gun defense to work you MUST be close enough to touch them without having to step or run towards them, you cannot step as fast as their finger can pull the trigger. If you do decide to act…

    The Argument for our Existence (the "Cogito"): 1. Even if we assume that there is a deceiver, from the very fact that I am deceived it follows that I exist. 2. In general it will follow from any state of thinking (e.g., imagining, sensing, feeling, reasoning) that I exist. While I can be deceived about the objective content of any thought, I cannot be deceived about the fact that I exist and that I seem to perceive objects with certain characteristics.…

    It is not just through a sense but through a sense, more than one sense, reflection of our own minds and thoughts and all of the senses and reflections put together to form an idea. I do believe that the ideas that we carry throughout life are caused by the situations we experience in our lives. I feel that through experiencing different things in life give us these ideas to expand and learn from. These experiences give us the tools to learn and create concepts for further ideas. We also have ideas from experience because the senses and experiences that we get the information to form our ideas is influenced by these circumstances.…
