Ryo- week 8 reaction

In the last week, we had a very good time together and Yoyo and Cathrine’s nice presentation.

We discussed the long term or short term oriented culture. Eastern countries have long term orientation while the western countries have short term orientation. People from long term societies tend to be very hard working and spend their time for the future although people from short term societies tend to be outgoing and spend their time for right now at this moment.

I personally consider myself long-term oriented person because I am very steady and sometimes fearful for the tasks in the future rather than forget them. Although it is important to think for the future, I sometimes think that it is also happy to focus on the moment itself since we seize the day. I am wondering how I could change my intuitive mind or brain that is typically long term oriented to the mind that seize the day or focus on the moment. Is it possible to change the mind even for the adult? I would like to personally research how human beings’ mind or brain change.
