ATTENTION – Why Does She Want/Need It?

Solution = Picturing A Way That Works!

Attention

Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. Attention has also been referred to as the allocation of processing resources.

Examples include listening carefully to what someone is saying while ignoring other conversations in a room (the cocktail party effect) or listening to a cell phone conversation while driving a car. Attention is one of the most intensely studied topics within psychology and cognitive neuroscience.

In 1890, William James, in his textbook Principles of Psychology, remarked:

“ everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction, and Zerstreutheit in German.”

Greetings Earthlings and T.G.I.F. (Thank God It’s Freeday)!
As we bring this last full week of May 2012 to a solid ending moving forward into the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the decision has been made to take some time out to focus in on this particular subject as it would seem that the Internet, which is basically some words and pictures on a screen, is at the root, a mechanism for the exchange of the resource known as attention, and with proper management, it can lead to satisfactory results for all parties involved in any and all interaction which involve the exchange of it.

The image above was posted as a working example to concentrate on over the weekend, and although we may not know the technical reasons as to why it works, we may be able to save ourselves some valuable time by simply recognizing that in essence, this method has, does, and will most likely continue to work for eternity so long as humans are available to give and receive attention, and as a result, deciding to pay attention to this matter of attention.

In closing, while searching for a video clip that focuses on both women and money which coincides with the header image representing attention, the clip that is above the paragraph was uploaded to YouTube by an Ice T/Tony Montana enthusiast, and it seems to work well as an indicatior of the facts which prove that there is a growing demand for different and more relevant and authentic life perspectives to consider.
