             Perception & Cognition Gap 




How to Close Perception Gaps? Perception is one's interpretation of reality. It is as we see, observe and experience as defined by our mental "band-pass filters.”Perception is one's interpretation of reality, so it is very subjective and varies from person to person. When we are “mindful,” we not only see but also perceive; we not only live but also experience; this will have an effect on others and how we interact with the surrounding. But what are the gaps between perception and reality? How to overcome bias caused by prepositioned perceptions, how to close those perception-based gaps and make a positive impact on your surroundings?

The Cognitive Gap Cause and Effect? Cognition is the mental process of acquiring knowledge through thought, experience, and senses. The "mind" represents our consciousness and awareness. It is the software that promotes and regulates each function and each action of our body, from the reproduction and reconstruction of our cells to the food process and distribution, to our voluntary and involuntary movements, and to all our behaviors, etc. However, the brain activities function for survival instincts are still primitive, what are the further aspect of human sophistication in regards to vision, communication, and innovation for problem-solving or overcoming challenges? And what are further problems caused by cognitive gaps and how to bridge them effectively?

A Perceptive Mind Perception is one's interpretation of reality. It is as we see, observe and experience as defined by our mental "band-pass filters," our mind notices and recognizes some things, but may not do the same for some other things. Our perception is what makes up our world view. As we are the ones who are co-creating the world we live in, then it makes sense that when we are “mindful,” we not only see but also perceive; we not only live but also experience; this will have an effect on others and how we interact with the surrounding. So why does it matter to have a perceptive mind, is it positive or negative; reactive or proactive; subjective or objective? imitative or creative?

So how to drive the business in the fast lane and take digital leap via closing those fatal blind spots?

The Gaps between Linear Thinking and Nonlinear Thinking The digital business and the world have become over-complex and hyper-connected; in the industrial setting, business management often practices linear thinking with a set of linear skills; it perhaps works in the considerably static and silo business environment. However, digital means the increasing speed of changes and the high degree of uncertainty, hyperconnectivity and fierce competition. The nature of digital is nonlinear and dynamic. How to close the gap between linear vs. nonlinear thinking in order to drive a smooth transformation?

According to Stanford Medical, It is indeed the ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years longer and weigh 19 kilos less than us.

(By the way, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some hard exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING related to "how" they eat.)

P.S, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
