Are you your own follower ?

 Many a times, I am asked , whether I am doing my thing correctly; that too by others ! Namely, my second child, Shivansh,aged 7years and in Std.Ist always asks me when I come back from town,"When are you going to    your next class ?" That's because , he's seen me taking a Coaching Class lecture for Grade Xth [English subject] in the nearby Dahisar[West]. The same question is asked again and again, each day,by my spouse,"When is your Class ? Are you not going to teaching in the Coaching Class today? Have you no work today (sometimes sarcastically, as if i were the only one left in this world who doesn't know what to do whence)? When is the last time that you took responsibility for your actions ? When was the last time that you brought something, that too without my asking for it in the first place ?" You have again not come to the dinner or Lunch [On Sunday Afternoon] at my first call !!!!!
                You are always busy, working on the computer , writing things that are unimportant to this Family ? Have you gone outta your mind as to not answer me at the first instance , and do my bidding is the frequent threat put out by my spouse on me. To this, i always meekly have replied,"I always do your bidding, madam,well the computer takes time to safely close down and thence only can i leave it. If any program is suddenly ejected then harm comes to the computer; or it could be infected with an virus attack as i am on the internet always posting articles, just as this one; and also extracting informations from the Google Search engine."
                  To which she always adds an immediate nonchalant reply,"Your family is great in such excuses, but none of this is going to affect, nay fool me ; for i come from a great family who all know the values of time in their life. You are the only numb-skull, to whom i married; had i married someone else, it would have made my life a heaven on earth."
                  With these brief , interludes growing on in their normal course of my life , albeit every day; shall we say as unavoidable bickerings, so much so that i am now hard-pressed to say that it would not be arguably untrue that i am living my life on a razor-sword edge. If we tend to analyse the above, from an "NLP" or "Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques" based ways, then it could be seen ; that everyone who is in touch with you in your daily life, stresses you out for doing their own biddings.Right from your son,spouse, friends, neighbors,colleagues,etc. There is one thing , however, in common , to all of them; and that is the following unknowingly of a few NLP-Pre-suppositions, like---"My Map is not your territory," " My Map is distinct from yours, to your map i do not agree always," "My ways in life and also Living the Life are greater that those of yours," "Whatever i do as a spouse or tell you is the ONLY TRUTH TO BE DONE, and followed by my commands."
                   Counseling of such persons who do not adhere to the NLP techniques , are grossly dictatorial in nature, live life at their own rulebook modes, make it difficult to adjust with them. It then gets down with your nerves , and sometimes you are prone to manic-depression attacks which are similar to mild heart attack. Whats your comment ? Can you share any of your experiences different to mine , but on same tracks ?

NLP supports the Added Advantage of speaking two Neural Languages ?


NLP supports, the Added Advantage of speaking two Neural Languages ?

"NLP is a Mind Technology, and as it was made to aide the processes and procedures of the Thinking Mind, it supports the Added Advantage of speaking two Neural Languages; one is the speaker's own Native Language and next the language that was learnt right from the time a child was sent to a Primary-Grade in the English School. It has also been found by my experiences that the slow-learners in English Language can be re-modeled to learning English effectively both written and spoken with help of a Special  Education Advisor, NLP Specialist, or Education Counselor,....if remedied earlier or else they will be late quite on the lines of catching the finer nuances of an English Language in their higher grades or even before they are set to enter into Senior High School or Senior Collegiate Levels........,See also below reference research work by Melinda Wenner."
Bilingual people process certain words faster than others
By Melinda Wenner   

The ability to speak a second language isn’t the only thing that distinguishes bilingual people from their monolingual counterparts—their brains work differently, too. Research has shown, for instance, that children who know two languages more easily solve problems that involve misleading cues. A new study published in Psychological Science reveals that knowledge of a second language—even one learned in adolescence—affects how people read in their native tongue. The findings suggest that after learning a second language, people never look at words the same way again.

Eva Van Assche, a bilingual psychologist at the University of Ghent in Belgium, and her colleagues recruited 45 native Dutch-speaking students from their university who had learned English at age 14 or 15. The researchers asked the participants to read a collection of Dutch sentences, some of which included cognates—words that look similar and have equivalent meanings in both languages (such as “sport,” which means the same thing in both Dutch and English). They also read other sentences containing only non-cognate words in Dutch.
Van Assche and her colleagues recorded the participants’ eye movements as they read. They found that the subjects spent, on average, eight fewer milliseconds gazing at cognate words than control words, which suggests that their brains processed the dual-language words more quickly than words found only in their native language.
“The most important implication of the study is that even when a person is reading in his or her native language, there is an influence of knowledge of  non-dominant second language,” Van Assche notes. “Becoming a bilingual changes one of the people’s most automatic skills.” She plans to investigate next whether people who are bilingual also process auditory language information differently. “Many questions remain,” she says.

WORDS, GESTURES ARE TRANSLATED BY SAME BRAIN



"Here is some information regarding, a research based article on the ways gestures register in our origin of Language and more on whatever we have in Language with  all Brain regions understanding, a proof , that we have long since our society became Modernized; we do forget that , and that  there is more to our understanding which we have  underestimated, or thence under-utilized our BRAINS..."


WORDS, GESTURES ARE TRANSLATED BY SAME BRAIN REGIONS, SAYS NEW RESEARCH: FINDINGS MAY FURTHER OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LANGUAGE EVOLVED

Your ability to make sense of Groucho’s words and Harpo’s pantomimes in an old Marx Brothers movie takes place in the same regions of your brain, says new research funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), one of the National Institutes of Health.
