Spatial ability

Salam.

Hari isnin. Hari ni sihat alhamdulillah. Tak sakit-sakit macam minggu-minggu lalu. Cuma pagi ni dua tiga kali menguap gara-gara world cup malam tadi. Aku tak lah minat giler sangat tp layannn la jugak..

Baru-baru ni aku ada baca satu buku yang menarik tulisan Allan and Barbara Pease. I was about to laugh but when i think again.. mmm, make sense jugak.. it's true. One of the headline statements goes like this,

'The majority of women have limited spatial ability. But it is one of a male's strongest abilities.'

Spatial ability means being able to picture in the mind the shape of things, their dimensions, co-ordinates, proportions, movement and geography. It also involves being able to imagine an object being rotated in space, navigating around an obstacle course and seeing things in three-dimensions.

Spatial ability is located in both brain hemispheres for women but does not have measurable locations as it does in males. Only about 10% of women have spatial abilities that are as dynamic as those of the best men. So gurls are excellent at seeing two dimensions but seeing in three dimension requires hi spatial ability.

Brain scans show that spatial ability is located mostly in the right brain for men and boys. It developed from ancient times to allow men, the hunters, to calculate the speed, movement and distance of prey, work out how fast they had to run to catch their targets, and know how much force they needed to kill their lunch with a rock or a spear. That is why boys are far more able to see a third dimension, giving depth.

This is why many women have trouble reading a map or street directory. So remember, never give a woman directions like, 'head south or go west for 5 miles'. Instead give directions involving landmarks such as 'drive past Mc Donald's and head for the building with the National Bank sign on top'. Berbanding lelaki, most men can point north, even if they have no idea where they are!

Aku sendiri bila hendak ke suatu tempat yang aku tak pernah sampai, agak ragu-ragu jugak. Dulu aku jenis yang agak adventurous, main redah je tapi sekarang macam da tak berani lagi buat macam tu. I'll make sure i know the place, at least tau landmark then baru pergi. Kalau tak, jangan haraplaaa.. hehe.

So it's therefore up to u. It's only to educate yourself.. For only then can you hope to have relationships as happy and as fulfilling as both men and women deserve.

*Pagi tadi kak ana forward satu emel. Di bawah tu tertulis sebaris ayat, " dik, akak harap kau tabah menerima berita ni ye, aritu masa faizal kawin kamu da makan hati. ni akak nak bagi tengok gambar lagi 'gigit' hati punye.. eheh." Rupa-rupanya gambar pertunangan nazrin dengan sazzy. Pandai je kak ana ni.. memang pun aku suka pelakon iklan maxis sorang ni (iklan lama, situasi: airport) tapi taklah sampai nak makan hati.. :D

**Tak lupa tahniah juga pada ska & tarita.

***Tahniah juga pada Hj Lan kerana menerima menantu.

****Tahniah yang tak terhingga juga pada diri aku kerana berjaya meng'happy'kan diri semasa cuti hari minggu lalu!! huhu!!! Itulah hikmahnya bila membuat orang lain gembira dan bahagia, kita pun akan rasa tempiasnya, insyaAllah.
