Where possible, focus on things that are worthwhile. - Andrew Kingdom
Writer’s Block? Think about things differently by: Adding a new communication; add in random text from any source at hand; take time to relax, help a stranger, rewrite in a different format (e.g. story as a screenplay), don’t get bogged down, put down the basics and move on. – Andrew Kingdom
Even experts know less than 1% of everything that can be known about life, the universe and everything. To think otherwise is to not even be aware of your own ignorance. — Andrew Kingdom
Being an expert in one field does not guarantee expertise in another field. For example, understanding the science of combustion doesn’t automatically make me good at cooking food on a fire. — Andrew Kingdom
No work is ever worth a divorce — Andrew Kingdom
You can’t truly love others if you’re not caring for yourself. It’s like how airlines say, ‘Put on your own mask first, then help others.’ — Andrew Kingdom
Intelligence has little to do with a person’s value as a human. — Andrew Kingdom
A.I. is a tool made by humans to assist humans; don’t confuse it with actual intelligence, the two are not the same and will never be so. — Andrew Kingdom
Un-deception is the successful resolution of misapprehension, that is, the changing of your mind concerning a misbelief. This is not the same as trying to change someone else’s mind. — A. Kingdom on C.S. Lewis on J. Austen
I.Q. tests are intended as a measure of a person’s mental ability to solve certain problems within a very narrow mindset and domain knowledge, which generally excludes: a person’s full intellect, emotional quotient, physical intellect, spatial intellect, spiritual intellect, love, kindness, ethics, mental alertness and many other factors. In my experience the tests often assume a single correct answer, whereas in reality there are often many ways to answer the question, depending how you consider it. — Andrew Kingdom
The Role of Emotional Context in Effective Decision-Making and Communication:
- Understanding context when making informed decisions enhances relationships and communication (acknowledging emotions is part of the context).
- Managing emotions in the bigger picture improves decision-making and reduces excessive conflict, leading to clearer perspectives and rational choices.
- Communicating decisions clearly positively impacts circumstances and strengthens emotional well-being. — Andrew Kingdom
