Sequence & Association
Let's take a gigantic step away from the day-to-day skills thatmake up career development. Let's look at a more abstract andfundamental part of career development. Let's look at the twomost basic types of thinking: Sequence and Association. Theseare underlying thought types that don't come into everydayawareness, and yet to know about them adds direction to almostevery thought you'll ever have.
Basically, these two categories are philosophical descriptionsof thought types used to describe all other thoughts. But theyare more than just two categories; they actually represent twovery different types of thought. First, we are emotional and werespond to the things we encounter by association. Each of usfeels our way through life by associating sights, smells,tastes, sensations and of course sounds with particularemotions. The associations are personal. They are the result ofindividual experience and these associations organize the fabricor our lives in a non-logical way. But the second way ofthinking is sequence.
With language thoughts become organized logically. With languagewe name the things we encounter and we arrange experiences intime. We even rate our emotions: stronger/ weaker; better/worse; best, fastest, greatest, lowest and it never stops. Withlanguage and intellect we can arrange everything into sequence.So there you have it, the two types of thinking. Look for themin everything around you. Look for them at work and you'll cometo understand people in a different light.
