"When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity." ― Dale Carnegie I think my friends would say that I am rational and calm under fire. I always knew that people have emotions and just thought, that I am pretty good at handling mine. However, the more I thought about the quote above, the more I realized, that only about 10%-20% of my decisions are rational. The other 80%-90% are driven by my emotional state and my mind just saying 'Do what you like, it's not critical'. Accepting that humans are mostly driven by their emotions helped me understand and predict their actions.
