[MENTAL HEALTH]

Possession of an attention span.


attention deficit disorder = = any of a range of behavioural disorders occurring primarily in children, including such symptoms as poor concentration, hyperactivity, and learning difficulties.



Replying to a post by Yadda, bobby will frequently say....

Dear Yadda, many blessings. Your posts are so long that I doubt anyone reads them - make them short and punchy. forgiven namaste

bobby,

ARGUMENT;
Critical thinking [and sequential thinking],
requires the nurturing of, and the possession of,
an 'attention span',
which is longer than that of a goldfish.


bobby,

Although the following is a   too long   YT video,
i would hope that you would watch the first 30 secs.

Patience and application are virtues,   ...but are of little value to many in this day and age.

Romans 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime
were written for our learning,
that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.


Hebrews 10:35
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36  For ye have need of patience,
that, after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.

.......after we have done what ?
.......that we might receive what ?

Not, instant Karma.

Not, instant gratification.

It is a long path.



Psalms 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8  The statutes of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes.



Way too long !

:)

Thanks Yadda,
not a bad video but a bit long.
It was very repetitive.
18 minutes could have been cut down to 4 minutes.

The video starts out with an unsourced statement:


Quote:

0:00 In 1987, the average sustained attention 0:02 span of an adult was 22 minutes. In 0:06 2004, it dropped to 11 minutes. Today, 0:09 it is at 47 seconds, less than a 0:11 goldfish.

That could be made up drivel for all I know.
IQ is mostly set by genetics although the environment does play a part.
