Opinia mea despre asta?

  • Cred că a fost un tend vizibil ascendent când au început să fie folosite.
  • În prezent, sunt destul de neutru referitor la folosirea lor. Există nișe (produse destinate copiilor; site-uri axate pe umor) unde pot ajuta; există nișe (lucruri serioase, business-uri cu reputație) unde pot face rău.
  • În general, în prezent, le evit, dar dacă văd un text cu emoticoane nu consider neapărat că va afecta negativ rata de conversie

Good student, bad student

de
byronv2 - Book and Coffee

I’ve met some really good students in my life. All – better than me.

What was a bit surprising is that most of these students were good at multiple things at once. Sure, they had some ups and downs, but, all-in-all, they were good overall.

My opinion on this is that knowledge compounds – if you learn well in the first grade, you’ll learn easier in the second grade and so on.

On another hand, if you don’t learn well for a while, it’s harder to catch up.

This made me think – can you regain the lost knowledge?

Think of people going to prison for a long while (for example, in communist time in Romania). Did they recover from the lost time in prison?

Two opposite views on this:

  • First, I wouldn’t say time in prison, or time spent for a while not learning well academically is lost time. Sure, it’s not pleasant to be in prison, and sure, if you don’t do your tasks for doing well in school, you can be left behind. But time spent in prison and the time spent doing other activities than learning for school can be a formation period (more on this »). You can learn by reading, but you can also learn by doing things, by watching things on TV, by talking to others, by helping, or by asking for help. Life is a continuous learning period. You can learn quite a lot by reading (books, mostly), but learning is not 100% connected to reading books.
  • On another hand, I’d say “No, you can’t recover the time lost on a 100% level”. If you don’t learn for years, it’s harder to catch up.

Criticising the critics

de
Michael J. Moeller - ... to forever bind them.

Sometimes, I hear “critical thinking is so good”.

Yet, sometimes I meet people who cross their arms and are against pretty much everything.

I fail to see how critical thinking helps those people.

In some online communities, you tend to see lots of negativity, hatred even.

They say only ignorant people can be happy (“Happy people are not the smart people.”).

As far as I can tell, I think only smart people can be happy. I see a lot of angry, upset, negative not-so-smart people.

And I’ve met in my life some people who were both happy and very smart.

What’s the biggest problem I have with always-upset people? They tend to make poor decisions.

Vaccinations, friends, life, voting, choosing between A and B.

And, even more than this, they tend to be unhappy and grumpy.

Be happy, choose wisely, live longer – who wouldn’t want this?

The unhappy / less smart / critical people.

Is critical thinking bad? No. Is being critical all the time, always aggressive, always fighting, always wanting to win, badly? To me, yes.

I don’t have a problem with saying “No”, I have a problem with people always saying “No”.
