A-Z English podcast My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social and today we're going to do another quick talk episode and we have a very simple question, but maybe it's not so easy to answer. The question is, do you think more with your head or your heart?
00:00:36
Xochitl
And at the at the basis of this, if you think more with your head, you're more of a logic based thinker. And if you think more with your heart, you're more of an emotions based thinker.
00:00:46
Jack
Right.
00:00:46
Xochitl
I think I don't know if this is a fair answer, but I think I'm a happy medium I try.
00:00:55
Xochitl
To handle my impulses and just sit on them. And I also try to think of things logically, but.
00:01:01
Xochitl
Ultimately I do.
00:01:04
Xochitl
Think I'm a little more of an emotions based thinker. I have a hard time.
00:01:09
Xochitl
Sticking to long term goals or responding logically in a situation, I tend to go with what I feel in the moment. Umm and and I.
00:01:20
Xochitl
Think that that.
00:01:22
Xochitl
Makes me more.
00:01:23
Xochitl
Of an A.
00:01:25
Xochitl
I think more with my heart than with my head.
00:01:29
Xochitl
Yeah. How about you, Jack?
00:01:32
Jack
No, I've actually words on the same page these days because I am also I think more with my heart than my head. If I thought more with my head, I would you.
00:01:47
Jack
Know I would definitely.
00:01:49
Jack
Plan things out or gain things out better.
00:01:52
Jack
You know, if I like a chess player, you know, I play chess about.
00:01:57
Jack
One move ahead, you know, and when I play with people who are are good at playing chess, they're, you know, they're planning.
00:02:06
Jack
10 moves ahead.
00:02:07
Jack
Right. They're like if I do this, Jack will do this. Then I'll do this. Jack will do this, you know? And they're already predicting I'm. I'm just not built that way. I I my I follow my heart.
00:02:21
Jack
And usually it leads me to a pretty good result. I yeah, a good outcome then? Yes, exactly. I'm.
00:02:32
Jack
I'm trying to think.
00:02:33
Jack
Of some examples, but it's just like.
00:02:37
Jack
You know, some things. Look, some things look.
00:02:40
Jack
Bad on paper. Do you know what I mean? It's like, you know, like, for example, let's start a podcast, a Language learning podcast.
00:02:49
Jack
OK, there's only a million of.
00:02:50
Xochitl
Right.
00:02:52
Jack
Them you know what are the?
00:02:53
Xochitl
Right.
00:02:53
Jack
Odds that we're going to be successful, like if.
00:02:56
Jack
I followed my.
00:02:57
Jack
Head. I'd be doing a, you know, podcast about, you know.
00:03:05
Jack
I don't know.
00:03:05
Xochitl
Some really niche.
00:03:06
Xochitl
Thing that no one else.
00:03:09
Jack
Rare South American.
00:03:09
Xochitl
Is sada.
00:03:11
Jack
Tree frogs or something you know like.
00:03:13
Xochitl
Right, yeah.
00:03:13
Jack
I I don't know.
00:03:15
Jack
But but but I followed my heart because because I this is what I wanted to do. You know, it's like this is what I'm I'm passionate about teaching English. I'm passionate about language. I know you're passionate about language. You're translator. You're you know you.
00:03:34
Jack
You you understand 2 languages fluent, you know, as a balanced bilingual. So it's like our appreciation for language and things. It's like, OK, it may look bad, it may be bad logic to choose this path.
00:03:49
Jack
Forward. But if we follow our hearts, we could probably find success. You know that way. And so if I only followed my head, listen to my head or think with my head, I'll never really take a risk or do something, you know, kind of, you know, look crazy. But if I if I think with my heart.
00:04:10
Jack
And I follow my heart. Then I know that my passion can carry me through, even though maybe my plan.
00:04:18
Jack
Is not perfect.
00:04:19
Jack
I don't know if that makes sense.
00:04:21
Xochitl
No, I think it does make sense.
00:04:24
Xochitl
And UM.
00:04:26
Xochitl
I get it.
00:04:26
Xochitl
Yeah, I think it makes sense and I think.
00:04:30
Xochitl
I agree with you. I think we we both.
00:04:34
Xochitl
Our guided by.
00:04:35
Xochitl
Our hearts, I think ultimately it's LED some good outcomes, more than trying to plan it out in a.
00:04:43
Xochitl
A logic based way. I think our our one of our old team members Kevin, I think he was maybe more logic based than either.
00:04:50
Xochitl
Of us, yeah.
00:04:51
Jack
Yeah, I think so, maybe.
00:04:53
Jack
Yeah. Well, what, what do?
00:04:54
Jack
You think? What? What would you, how would you?
00:04:56
Jack
Because you you need both, right? I mean you.
00:04:58
Jack
Can't be people that act with all.
00:05:00
Jack
Art are, you know, and only follow their emotions are going to get themselves into trouble sometimes eventually. I mean, it's going to happen. So I would say I'm more of like a 7030 person.
00:05:09
Xochitl
Right, right.
00:05:16
Jack
Is that where put yourself?
00:05:16
Xochitl
When you need your just to hold you back, I think, yeah, I think I'm probably 6.
00:05:22
Xochitl
Well, yeah, I'm probably 703070 heart and 30 logic.
00:05:25
발표자
OK.
00:05:28
Jack
70 hard, 30 logic right? I've got enough logic to kind of you know, so I can still feed myself, you know? But I, you know, I can still get to work like I know that I can follow directions. You know what I mean? I'm not just going like it feels like work. Is this direction. You know? I don't. I'm not like, you know, 100% on my heart.
00:05:30
발표자
OK. Yeah.
00:05:45
발표자
Right, right.
00:05:48
Jack
You know, we need some, we need logic, right? We need reason. But I think you know, if I did a calculation, I'm probably somewhere around. Yeah, 30706040, something like.
00:06:01
Xochitl
Yeah, alright, listeners. Well, if you're more logic based or more emotions based or EG you think with your head or your heart, let us know in the comments and we'll see you guys next time.
