Nature of Logic and Perception

 
 
Principles of logic are very important part of the process of critical thinking. Logic is defined as the study of correct argument. In today's world, we face complicated issues and problems in our both professional and personal lives, and it becomes necessary to react to problems and situations from more than emotional point of view. "I want you to follow my strategy" may not go very well with your colleagues and team members if you do not defend your strategy and solution with logic. Perception is defined as the way we see and understand our experiences. It also involves as how and what we think about our experiences. To me perception is a learned process. Throughout our lives, we learn different things form others and through our own experiences. Hopefully this learning process makes you understand or see things differently as it did to me. When I was younger, I acted as a Group Assistant for a multimedia group at a software house. I worked for a contracting agency that placed me in the position because they thought I was a good fit; so did I. Looking back, I can now see how gross misconceptions of how my environment was perceived affected my employment status. Starting out good and ending badly, my perception of how I was
 
 


I have since quit smoking, since I realized if I smoke in the workplace, and I am not in my office, I must be out smoking, or so people will think. Because it was such a social atmosphere, smoke breaks were aplenty, and eventually grew longer and more frequent. Instead, I find myself in a meeting with my representative (from the contracting agency) who is there to tell me I have squandered all hope of being hired on full-time, I have been reported to security for an inappropriate email, I am found to be cocky and abrasive, and I come to work only to sit outside with friends and smoke. Everything I did and did not do at this position I have applied to my career steps; it seems I have learned from my mistakes, and I now play the game of perception quite well. My perception of the situation was I was liked, accomplished my tasks, got along with most people, and took periodic breaks, as any employee did. No one, including my boss, thought that I did anything except play video games and smoke cigarettes, and most thought I had a really bad attitude. Later I find out I am found to be cocky and abrasive. Ask for it, demand it, and strive for it, whether it is good or bad. In the end, it turns out some of the people I was chummy with, did not enjoy my less-than-professional behavior, my attitude, or the way I did things. After the meeting, I was allowed to return to my office to pick up pictures and my jacket, and was escorted off campus. Feedback from peers and employers is really the only way to squander perception on the path of truth and fact. From this experience, I realized being young in the corporate world comes with its own set of challenges. As it turned out, some people liked me; other people just made me think they did because it was the nice thing to do. Devastated, I found that someone who had come to my door numerous times for things, someone who I had chatted with for hours and somewhat befriended, forwarded a mail string to security, thinking I could have been threatening an email virus. I served 180 people, and had met all of them. Some topics in this essay:
