The Heart or The Brain?

Have you ever experienced when your heart and your brain are fighting each other? What will you do if for example, your heart like to do something but your brain said to you No you can't do this? will you follow what your heart want or follow what your brain said?

Give me some advice, please!

  2. Hello, I think you should compare the work that you want to do, and measured it as the percentage. I mean, if your brain need to do more than 50% and your heart give warning lower than, it's fine for you to do follow your brain. But just make sure if it's importance and give you advantage for you to do it?

    Just think everything in positive, then you could win on it.

  4. If you are in leadership position when the stake is high, follow your brain and listen to your heart. Though, in some matters, it is other way around.

  5. This is a really difficult question. People have been trying to solve it for many centuries.

    .. "Leadership position" has little impact. It's hard to fight against your emotion. You can't measure it in percentage.

    Feeling can be tremendously powerful. The following quote from Blaise Pascal, the famous French mathematician, sums it up nicely : "The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of"

  7. Hi Nana,

    First of all, are you sure that it's a mistake? Even if your brain tells you that it might be a mistake, sometimes your heart is the one that is in control. I think that most of us should have that kind of experience at least once in our lifetime. For example, have you ever tried to reason with that someone that is in love? That person would not listen to you. When you fall in love your brain is overwhelmed by the feeling from your heart. It simply shuts down.

    Second, let's say that you choose to not follow your heart. Wouldn't you have that dangling feeling later on? You'll be always wondering what would have happened if you stayed with that person.

    Having said that, nobody can tell you what to do or to choose. Only you would know what to do and only you would be able to tell later on whether what you choose was a mistake.

    I hope you make a good decision.

    Pros.

  8. Hi Pros, Nana,

    Your first argument is pretty convincing. I totally agree with you.

    However, your second point can swing both ways: "you could be always wondering what would have happened if you choose your career"

    I also agree with you on your last point: only you can be the master of your destiny and only you can be blamed for your mistake.

    I'm quite sure that Nana would make an informed decision.
