www.peopleandmanagement.com SR: Tony, are we all visual learners? TB: Everybody is. Even the blind see in many different ways. I want you to think about the time when you were in school. Did you like doing homework and lines in one colour with no pictures? SR: Not at all! TB: Yes. And what words would you use to describe that kind of homework? SR: Dull and boring, I would say. TB: Did you like extra homework if you ever got some? TB: Ok, open your eyes and, tell me what your brain SR: Never! gave you. TB: Why? SR: A creature with four legs and, Grey fur. SR: Maybe, that i had to come out of my comfort zone to do that, the extra homework, and to accomplish that, i had to curtailed my playing time or sacrifi ce my TV time. TB: (laughs) Great! You got it in just one go. And where was the Grey fur? SR: It was on an animal, of course. TB: And was it in any particular environment? SR: It was set against a green background of a tree. TB: Ok, great. So, for the fi rst time in your life, you know, what your language is. Why don’t we explore it together? How long did it take your brain to access TB: I also felt the same when I was a kid. I will paraphrase it as “imprisoned” It was the same with me. I never wanted to study extra or to do any extra homework. And, you’ve hit the two main words boring and dull. What does the brain do when things are boring and dull? that piece of information which you imagined. SR: Maybe, a few seconds. TB: You got it in less than a second, because you immediately responded. Your brain very quickly gave you images and the key connections. It didn’t give you dictionary printouts of M-o-n-k-e-y, but just the image, color and connection. And Ahoy! We just discovered the human language! SR: Finally! TB: It is always the same with men, women, kids or whoever you are. We connect a form through image, color and association. SR: I think, it switches off ! TB: It switches off. Yes, the human language is image, colour and connection. Vol. 10 Issue 3 • MARCH 2019, Delhi NCR | 17
