DESCRIPTION

Common sense is the most important element in Information Security and I am working in the IS domain! So who knows this better than me. The problem is the people (generally) and so many IS clients and professionals do not realize this simple fact. I am prompted by this knowledge and realization gap to present Common Sense 101 - a compilation of CS resources from all over the net - hoping it makes sense to you and you benefit from it in your practice.

So Now That You know the

Why and How … jump on

this hilarious ride and try

to gauge if you have

commonsense

Page 5: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

•The common factor was that the message of common sense is so obvious and staring in your face that you overlook it (either because you are embarrassed on realizing how foolish you are or you are scraping the bottom on CS)

Guru Mantra

•Don’t share any of your passwords with anyone (including your dog)

IQ in Relations to

Common Sense

The IQ test is a very good estimate

of ones intellectual intelligence but

what about common sense? We all

know that friend or someone who is

intellectually smart, but lacks that

common sense. Street smarts or

common sense can be defined as an

action that relies on differing the

good from the bad. Does

intellectual intelligence have any

correlation with common sense? I

believe it does because to make a

"smart" or right choice on a decision

requires some sort of intelligence.

But to what degree does

intelligence play a role?

Obituary For Common Sense

http://www.orangejuiceblog.com/2011/09/obituary-for-common-sense/

Page 23: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

This is an Obituary for Common Sense that purportedly first appeared in the London Times – though I can find no proof that it was ever actually published there.

• Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,

Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No

one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records

were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

• He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable

lessons as:-Knowing when to come in out of the rain; –

Why the early bird gets the worm;- Life isn’t always fair; –

And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple,

sound financial policies, don’t spend more than you can

earn and adults, not children, are in charge.

Page 24: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

This is an Obituary for Common Sense that purportedly first appeared in the London Times – though I can find no proof that it was ever actually published there.

• His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but

overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old

boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens

suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a

teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his

condition.

• Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for

doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining

their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were

required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an

aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student

became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Page 25: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

This is an Obituary for Common Sense that purportedly first appeared in the London Times – though I can find no proof that it was ever actually published there.

• Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses;

and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common

Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar

in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

• Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to

realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her

lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

• Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust,

by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now,

Someone Else Is To Blame, and I’m A Victim. Not many attended his

funeral because so few realized he was gone.

It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense. ~ Robert G. Ingersoll

Why do so many people lack common sense?

• Rene Descartes said, "Common sense is the most widely shared commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well supplied with it." OK, he was being tongue-in-cheek, but Voltaire got right to the point: "Common sense is not so common."

• But you didn't want quotes, you wanted to know why there’s not so much of it around, and I can only tell you my own experience.

I've made a lot of mistakes that, with a little common sense, I could easily have avoided. Why? Sometimes I was emotionally involved, sometimes I wanted an outcome I couldn't reasonably expect, sometimes it was sheer egotism.

http://dozyskaleidoscope.blogspot.in/2012/03/why-do-so-many-people-lack-common-sense.html

If I ever stood before that Great White Throne we’re warned about in the Bible, and the book containing all my shortcomings was opened, I could tell you many of the accusations that would be written there—and a lot of those would show lack of common sense.

It's human nature. Sure, we're rational beings, but we're emotional beings, too. And we're individuals—so sometimes we can make the mistake of behaving as though we ARE islands in a sea of other individuals. If I can end with yet another quote, John Andrew Holmes put it this way: “It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.”

The Common Sense Meter

• Many years ago, I was taught the invaluable lesson of quantifying the subjective….

• Working hard as an Operations Manager in Tier2 outsourcer, the team I was on reported into a very interesting Regional HR Director…. A favorite quote from him was

“Dan, where does that (action or decision) sit on the common sense meter?”

• Often, when he asked folks this question, they were a touch stunned…. In fact we were unable to answer as we were not sure the set of units used by the fabled Common Sense Meter

• Thank Goodness for Blaine Lewis, for he was able to measure the immeasurable.

Dictionary Definition

This was to be a fun information piece so I decided to share boring stuff like quoting long text from dictionaries for the last

You have already read and imbibed all that is needed to know about CS and I am sure this must have lit the CS fire in you too

Oh ok – here goes!

Page 49: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

Common Sense – Definition (pg 1)• Common sense is defined by Merriam-Webster

as,

"sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts.“

• It is believed that in most cases that simple perception is "good enough". But, simple perceptions fail to adequately capture the import of context or situation. They are poor at reflecting more than single order effects (where a leads to b). By relying on common sense, we are in effect relying on the assumption that simple perceptions are adequate for the task or judgment at hand. But are they?

Page 50: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

Common Sense – Definition (pg2)• When simple perceptions are inadequate, then the need for tools

that enable better access to “what, who, and how much” one needs to know becomes painfully obvious. Expanding upon common sense -- either in the form of developing better tools for simple perceptions, better methods for simplifying complex perceptions, or better approaches for making judgments based on these simple perceptions just will not help in that portion of the world where "success" lies in developing an understanding of boundaries, constraints, and possibilities inherent in the interactions of large numbers of autonomous and semi-autonomous agents.

• Many attempts have been made over the years to refine the notion of common sense -- nearly all have run into the same obstacle: simple perceptions are oft times inadequate to capture what we need to know about a given situation or context in which we find ourselves

• Thus the need to expand our repertoire beyond common sense.

Page 51: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

•Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

Page 52: Common Sense 101 - so much to learn about CS

• The best prophet is common sense, our native wit. ~ Euripides

• The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79. ~ Douglas Adams

• Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are and doing things as they ought to be done. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe

• Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

• Common sense is nature’s gift, but reason is an art. ~ James Beattie

• If common sense has not the brilliancy of the sun, it has the fixity of the stars. ~Fernan Caballero

• Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to. ~ George Seaton
