and the thought process that one used when coming up with an answer has always intrigued me. We are all unique individuals in our ways of thinking and resolving issues that arise in our lives. Just wondering what ways do you use?
Depending on the situation I normally would go with my gut feelings or the vibe I am feeling in regards to the issue.

Gut feeling and vibes are sort of intuition. While reading Plato, I come across to Socrates' idea that we generally have the knowledge while we are already born and that we need to recollect them in order to surface the knowledge which we have known before.
I personally say that gut feeling and some other forms of intuition are the best guides we have. Ever since we are born in this world, we are already gifted with the needed knowledge. Sigmund Freud called it instinctual tendencies while Carl Jung called it Archetypes. Taking from their ideas, intuitions are ideas which has been stored in our genetic memories accumulated from the experiences of our ancestors.
When it comes to intuition, I personally believe that you have to follow it. Follow your instincts! And always complement it with your logical thinking. Your logical thinking should be the instrument to arrive at a certain decision hand in hand with your intuition.

Everyone uses exactly the same thought process. Man, woman or child it makes no difference. Everyone should learn exactly how they make decisions and it would improve the quality of their decisions. This is probably one of the least understood subjects you could mention. The invention of the man made computer gave us a look inside the human brain and explains some of it's functions. The man made computer is designed to duplicate some of the functions of the human brain.
Keep this in mind. Every thought you think, every word you speak and every move your body makes in any direction is always totally controlled by your human brain. The brain uses only one thing to accomplish this control and that is INFORMATION. Period.
Did you know there is a trap built into your human brain that causes it to lie to you and deceive you about the true quality of the information you are receiving? Very often this trap causes us to base our decisions on false information and create problems for ourselves and others. The only possible way the human brain can function correctly is for every scrap of information stored withing the brains storage system to be absolute fact. This is not the case and our brain is using false information to control our bodies. I won't go any deeper into it than that now but if you would like to learn more just email me direct and I'll send you an article I wrote some time ago that explains all of it. artcorbit@cox.net

It is very important we correctly understand why we think, speak and act the way we do. Without this understanding it is impossible to ever change the way we think, speak and act. There are a lot of people that are not happy with themselves and would really like to change some things but they don't understand what is controlling them to be what they are so they have no idea what they need to do.

I normally have very strong likes and dislikes. If i liketo do soem thing, then no amount fo persuation will deter me, but if i am determined not to do a thing, I can not be made to do it. I take a decision very fast and some how am very impatient with people who are not abrel to make up their mind and keep things lingering.
