When it comes to being a contrarian, what do you think of? Is it on investment? This is probably due to the fact that is where it most publicized.
However, I find there are a lot of situations when it is necessary to be a contrarian. Let me explain.
- I found that by eating less, I have more energy
- We have a tendency to response with force with force. However, I found in most cases, that is probably not the best option.
- Most cases, after work, we are very tired, so the first reaction will be to prop yourself in front of the TV. A few years back, I found that instead of doing that, a more effective way is to do something active like going to the gym. I end up more rejuvenated. (By the way, this happens only if your job involves mostly brain work).
In a lot of cases, you find that the first logical response is not the most effective solution. This is not to say that this is not true in all cases. There will be times that the first action is the right one.
In life, there will always be evidence showing which one is right. So why am I writing this article. I am trying to remind all of us that we need use our ability to think to pause and evaluate before we take action.
