My reflections on life
Shantanu Roy
Chief Information Officer at DB Schenker - Singapore & Malaysia | Digital Strategy & Execution
We human beings are a big cauldron of biases. Our brains are naturally inclined to form them, even with the scantiest of data. Our first experience at trying out some activity often carries a disproportionate weightage in crystallizing our bias. Our parents' and our guardians' biases play a big part too.
Once a bias is formed, our subconscious is designed to feed us only bias-affirming experiences. As a result, they tend to calcify with age. With time, they transform into 'irrefutable truths' that we live and die for.?
Unraveling an old bias is hard. But it is essential we do so. That is how history sifts the greats from the hoi polloi.

3 年Nice Thought ! #breakingThebias
Absolutely, Shantanu Roy I loved the last few lines. Breaking the biases is important to see the unexplored or new perspective. And this differentiates great from the rest.
