Always Choose whether to Generalize!

     Everybody knows that each and every object on the earth behaves uniquely, perhaps we name it differently. Each entity, living or nonliving has unique identification. That uniqueness also unique to the entity that identifies it.Fine,we now exclude the non-living entities from our discussion. We talk about the ever genius human-beings.Whenever we come across any person we create a preconceive notion about that person before any conversation even if we find hardly anytime for it. This is human tendency which insists him to think deeply into a personality that he comes across. This is what happens before the interaction. 

        The eagerness of the human being to know and to understand a person always keeps him out of the comfort zone. He always expects a lot from the talk which he never finds. But his expectation never ends. After 3 minutes    of the meeting human thinks at least 30 minutes about the person. He starts relating himself with each word he filters from the short conversation. Some great people say this human tendency to compare things, makes him active and competitive. I would agree to this but to some extent. Activeness and competitiveness do not stop you from generalizing a specific human's behaviour.  Whenever you compare the characteristics and behaviour, general idea is to perceive what you like and ignore the rest. This is what i called random suitable generalization. which always leads to loss of important data and points.

     Ok, now I explain why these random rather mostly avoided things come into my mind. If my manager indicates me to write MOM(minutes of the meeting) I will always prefer to write those points that he/she likes. that to in a precised manner. What do I do now. Even if I want I cant report the things that needs to be elaborated. Because those are out of my professional range. Advices say precise the things, so that you can be more decisive. But how can I generalize a number of people's opinion, which is quite unique as I said before. But management says ignore many to implement a single idea which may or may not be relevant and even though lots of better ideas are sent to trash.

     I will focus another instance here. Whenever we come across any girl we think and interpret a lot than to accept the facts. And we give a opinion , rather decision, which practically makes no meaning. This is also a kind of random generalization.

      Even if the management-theory roars about the generalization, I strictly criticize the idea under certain occasion...
