This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means
people think about sth pleasant,especially when this makes them
forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation
for being unaware of what`s happening around them. They can seem
forgetful and clumsy笨拙的. They stare off into space and wander by
themselves. They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us
and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are
also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in
human history. Without wandering minds, we wouldn`t have
reality,Coke or Post-it notes相对论、可口可乐,即时贴。Can u imagine what
kind of world we would have without such ideas and
inventions?
So how can you come
up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or
otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand
that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others.
Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.
Having interesting things to think about also helps. And if
u want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while
you`re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another
task--preferably ['prefrəbli] 宁可,更适宜
sth simple, like
taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless
drawings.
It`s also important to know how to avoid
daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.
"Mindfulness", being focused, is a tool that some people use to
avoid falling asleep.It involves slow, steady breathing for
self-control that helps people stay calm and
attentive专心的.
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea
might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore,
it`s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when
you`re in the daydream zone.
Always remember that your best idea might come
when your head is actually in the clouds.
