Hope you don't mind that I decided to pester you Philosophers with this one :-)!. Thanx for answering, everyone :-)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The times I have been in the most difficulty in life are those times when I didn't listen to that "little voice inside", also known as hunch or gut feeling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Normally, when I'm taking a test is my "gut feeling" more accurate than when I second guess myself (almost all the time)!. also, during like a game for soccer, my first instinct to pass to a certain person, make a move to get around an opponent, etc!. my first instinct or "gut feeling" is correct!. I honestly have no idea why the first is more accurate for me, as it is for the majority of the population, but I think the second has to do with natural instincts!. Since sports, in some ways, are very much like surviving in the wild!. First, sports tend to give you a rush of adrenaline, secondly, many contact sports and a few others push you to the edge, in which case your natural instincts take over (as they would in a similar situation in the wild)!. Epiphany!! I guess taking an exam gives you a rush of adrenaline and makes you really nervous too (I know it does for me :P)!. Maybe that has to do something with your gut feeling being correct!. Yeah, that was pretty long but I hope it helps :DWww@QuestionHome@Com I don't get "gut feelings" very often, but when I do they're more accurate than logical thought almost every time!. It tends to only happen to me in terms of relationships or responsibility-related things, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have always had pretty accurate gut feelings in my life, I tend to go with them they have seemed to be more correct then my thoughts!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com 90-Www@QuestionHome@Com |
