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

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

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

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.
