Some people are bored at work to the point of falling asleep at the desk, perpetually understimulated, their talents not put to good use. It does not have to be this way.

Being a good small-talker makes you a more friendly and open person in the eyes of other people. Being approachable is an advantage, yet some people prefer not to talk when they don’t have anything meaningful to say.

Our brains consist of two parts. One, the conscious part, is what you use when you think. It’s the slower of both, but it allows for logical reasoning and objective judgment. It separates us from most other animals. The other one takes care of all necessary things to keep your body running, it also handles emotions, but most of all: It does all the things that you do “instinctively”. For example if someone throws something at you, you automatically duck and protect your head. It’s extremely fast and you decide things immediately without any pondering, like a high-performance decision-machine.
