There is so much of info in this world and the process of storing it in our memory (given the capacity constraints) is an imprtnt issue per se….Herez how we were taught to deal with the same in the academies…. All the information can b broken down into 4 type of knows:
Must-Know
Should- Know
Could-Know
Don’t-need-to-Know….
I for one, have found the “4- Knows” formula to be very handy while scouring through articles, plethora of info in the newspaper, dealing with subordinates and best-of-all handle situations when you’re not sure of something...
I remember saying words to that effect to someone…he asked me something about the Army…not a Top Secret, but still…I replied: ”You see, there is something called “4 type of knows: Must-know….and so on….” :) :) obviously for him it was a “Don’t need to know”.
Again someone asked: “Hasn’t ur life become public this way?” The answer for tht was… “Well….You see, there is something called……” and the rest of me comes under “Don’t need to know” !!
Ciao ppl
Ciao Life
