THINK, pleads
@IBM—for over 100 years.
Saturdaycognition about your career choices, with
@grok’s PS below.
Thinker-doers think before, during, and after whatever it is that’s their’s to do.
Thinker-doer leaders (TDLs) strategically pause to
#ThinkToThink™—to ignite AI-fortified metacognition’s more “thinkably thinkable thinkingness”—for situational decision-critical higher-order thorough thinking (HOTT).
A mouthful for a headful. 😉
Lower-order truncated thinking (LOTT) is never enough when
HOTT is logically required for high-stakes decisions. Agree?
Career choices are high-stakes decisions.
A wise mind’s career choices—n.b., on average, plural by 10 or more decisions per modern lifetime—require HOTT to give the careerist the best chances of choosing among best uncovered options.
Please don’t misinterpret the words of the video’s
@NobelPrize laureates as offering greeting card-simplicity.
“Happiness,” per se, in one’s work could be a death knell.
The deeper the connection one establishes and “feels” with the
#ThinkWork and other work a career requires—for both psychoemotional-psychological satisfaction (sometimes spiritual) and financial compensation—the greater the potential for daily joy, deep satisfaction, and a steadily growing and increasingly gratifying sense of purpose.
Hubristic pride in one’s career choices should be avoided at all “cognitive costs.” Fend-off pride in your work—in favor of being deeply pleased (!) with whatever work you choose to do and, therefore, you do exceptionally well.
Pride gets in the way of career satisfaction—and advancement.
Don’t “do pride.” For good reason, it’s the deadliest of the seven deadly sins—for reasons far beyond the millennia of Roman theology’s teachings.
@grok had its algorithmic say about the accompanying career-enriching post.
“The post quotes Nobel laureates' advice from a 2024 video, emphasizing pursuing enjoyable, passion-driven work to sustain long-term career satisfaction, with Michael Rosbash noting the rarity of finding such fulfilling roles.
• Author John R. Dallas Jr., a metacognition expert and CEO of
@EnclaveAcademy, frames as his ‘Fridaycognition’ thinking-about-thinking (metacognition) tips linking deep intellectual engagement to brain health via neurogenesis, supported by studies showing effortful learning promotes new neuron growth in the adult hippocampus.
• Evidence from longitudinal research, including a 2024 UCL study, indicates cognitively demanding jobs reduce dementia risk by up to 31%, potentially extending healthy lifespan through preserved cognitive function rather than direct longevity.” —Grok4
