ATTENTION

 

        I was on the bus a while ago and it was going to be a long trip. The Normal me will not want to spend the whole time watching without doing anything. I picked a book and tried to read it but I could not get my mind to come together to read the book. I spent a whole time trying to figure just a sentence out but it all came to the nut as I got frustrated along the line. I've not seen anyone who survives reading in that kind of state. I knew what I could have done to coordinate my attention but I tried so hard to avoid the prejudice that comes from the environment based on such action. In my university days, I had tried so hard to explain to people how the action can help you coordinate your attention to just a thing or two. Few understood and few argued it to date. I couldn't bear it anymore I picked up my earbuds and plugged them in already! Like it was as if heaven came to my aid as I was able to get my attention together towards the book I had tried so hard to read. Immediately, I heard the man sitting next to me lamenting how youths nowadays know nothing more than to plug earpieces and deceive themselves into reading.

          Whilst the single action might deprive such a person of the activities in the environment at the time it isn't still harmful as you can imagine how well you have been able to maximize your time well because you were able to bring your attention together. I've researched and learned a lot about attention and I can tell you the subject of attention goes beyond just the random definition you have of it you must have found yourself in situations whereby you needed to get your attention together and things like such get you frustrated  let's take a ride and learn together..........
