THE RECOGNIZER

THE RECOGNIZER

Almost anything around you

You can point to and name

There is a part of our brain, seemingly present at birth

That recognizes objects

We help children develop their Recognizer by naming objects

See the dog, that's a chair, throw the ball

Usually our Recognizer is correct

(Though occasionally it can be wrong)

Resulting in humor or perplexity

The Recognizer works tirelessly to make our world

Sensible, understandable, manageable

If we can define a situation we can use our Recognizer

To categorize the situation, give those involved a name

The Flake, The Borrower, The Bully, The Inconsiderate

We can put policies in place to handle them

Often this is done automatically

We can also do this intentionally

If a situation is baffling or confusing

The first step is framing the situation in words

This might suggest a solution, map out a course of action

This is how wisdom is accumulated, drop by drop

Each new experience contains a jewel of knowledge

A treasure of insight on how to manage our journey

Successfully
