Cori Coleman is currently enticing readers with short stories and long tales of fantasy, love, and perseverance. Mentallly Challenged: why name call? A title to make you think; he thought to himself - as he begins his journey as a writer, became more than a catch phrase but what Coleman intends to soon make a monument in society. With an older brother diagnosed with a learning disability, at age 16 Coleman began some extensive research into what challenges fell before his older brother in life. After observing children from elementary schools, middle schools, and high school, it became evident the challenges of those with disabilities can be reading, writing, listening, memory, and various other obstacles. Many of the individuals with disabilities were successful at learning how to overcome reading and writing challenges, but there was however one challenge each individual failed to overcome every day, night, and forever - the disability itself. Today we label certain individuals with mental disabilities as challenged, but how incontrovertibly unfair and beyond untrue. From youth to adults, there is no challenge here, they will not recover or become reborn, or endure some living transformation involving the spirit ideas of reincarnation. When you have autism that is what you have, autism and that will not change. As for us, what I hear many of us describe ourselves as "Normal folk" it is apparent, we do have challenges, mental challenges and we also have possible real life solutions leading us to the victory over these challenge. Our lives are far more complex than any rare or common disability. What we endure on a daily basis is the very evidence of the manifestation of our challenges psychologically. The labels we press upon those who have to live with certain behaviors indefinitely must be reassigned. For our intelligence has been praised often to high, and our system of living is and has been bullied into a pa

Chapter One

Thinking

When it comes to actually thinking? We can find ourselves doing more reacting than applying processed thoughts.

Situations stack amongst the brains acknowledgement. The daily struggles are mentally factored in our everyday lives. Certain words, events, visual preferences deliver actions to the brain before thought.

When you wake up in the morning you perform actions that are first recognized due to information of not why to perform the action, just the action itself being performed.

Even if the reason is known we do not consider thinking it out instead we just skip through it and straight to the action.

In the morning you brush your teeth if I am correct. Before you made it out of the bed from waking up, all the way to the bathroom, you probably acknowledge the action but not its purpose. Now you are saying "yeah, why not?" seems purposeless right?

WRONG!!!

Consider what process need it be particularity specific you use to brush your teeth. Brush top row, brush bottom row, gums, and then your tongue. Some of you brush your teeth in a motion to clean all your teeth different from others.

Reason I explain the action is so you can take into consideration you do not always brush your teeth as thoroughly as you can possible. Imagine you woke up every morning and you begin thinking about the reason to brush your teeth. I am talking the negatives and positives all surrounding. Just thinking of what affect brushing your teeth can have on you will result in a few below.

* * *

1. You will begin to coincide how bad your teeth can get.

2. Thus, knowing you will make a far better teeth cleaning experience based upon the information contained in the negatives of not brushing effectively.

3. You may actually begin new methods to ensure your teeth are being properly taken care of.

4. Just by thinking (THINKING) alone you have granted yourself the realization if you even know why you should brush your teeth.

Thinking is a responsibility, many of us are very tardy hen it comes to reading thoughts of our own. So much can be taught mentally alone by simply thinking. Thinking can become a action itself un-done probably due to the outcome of its use.

When gathering thoughts we will more than definitely process the positives but also the negatives.

People are people, more than likely who is not going to come to a negative and allow their self to become bothered by it.

Negative thoughts are worry factors, bringing in the mental bad that can stress the soul.

Due to these negatives the thinking; however, the idea of thinking is more choicely avoided.

Respectful upon an individual the choice is theirs. As well uncalled for at the thought we can allow smalls such as bad realization stop us from thinking.

Thinking affects the performance and performance affects outcome and that will affect reality.

As young adults, adults, and even older folk, life has its pull and pushes far greater than imagined.

We are living and breathing through the days and will continue to until death. Regardless the obstacles involved in life or situations, THINK!

Situations range from work, school personal life, even relationships. Our decisions are action decisions and action decisions only get final results. In the world today I highly doubt preparation would hurt you. Before any presentation to your boss at work, even your class instructor in school. You would base your final results on prepared and thought out information.

Thinking is preparation, practice before action. Basic life situations can easily be tackled with a choice of thought revision.

At work, in your own home or public area thinking is a tool for action. Many of the angry atmosphere's we may walk into are going to bring intention and persuasion to act before thinking.

We all have occupations where our boss can intentionally attempt to jump on your case due to the fact they are just bad people. Now you have your situations where people are being hounded by someone in the position of authority. First things first the individual who is feeling a little awkward will then come to a boiling point. This point of anger has been reached by the breaking of tolerance. Once our tolerance is broken we pretty much are loose cannons.

The issue falls into a confrontation and this begins to have us finding ourselves ready to do what "lash out".

Most of us in the time of confrontation we just lash out instead of thinking. For some of us it results in losing our jobs as fast as we lose our temper. Really though, that's is the motive! It happens that way because people of higher authority do not expect anyone below them to think. No, not at all they do not expect you to think. They expect you to provide you services through voice and command.

See the idea of us thinking is only needed when the task has been developed for us that way otherwise the responsibility of thinking is least expected.

Thinking is a key to task completion and stability of operations. No one wants you to think because the moment you do begin thinking is the second you begin learning. Oh at a nine to five slave enforced occupation no one wants you learning. They want you to do what you are told and that's where the operation of labor living can deprive the mind that neglects thinking. The program designed is to keep us focused on certain responsibilities that require us only being told what to do by the person above. Ever been at a job and asked someone of high authority how to take on a task at your occupation which requires the full attention and directions to successfully complete the task and run the task through. They do not want to tell you and are not looking forward to a lower level employee using his brain for a job he is expected to shut up and just do whatever when told.

Thinking is the part of life we are expected to abandon and leave on the streets of responsibility. Well all in all we abandon responsibility only...
