The life of an airline pilot involves endless repetition to a mind numbing degree,
So do baseball players or anyone athletics, people in law in enforcement, and so many other professions. When you type on the keyboard do you have to think about where the letters are? If you do that takes away from actually getting anything done. When you eat do you have to figure out where your mouth is? Do you have to think about how to tie your shoes? When your driving do you have to think about how to slow down?

Your statement is so most assinine.

Pilots don't train religiously so they can feel good about theirselves and or feel like robots. They train because in the case of emergency they don't have think about what to do next. It is instinct.

They go through procedures to take out the "bonehead" situation. All of us forget things every now and then but it usually doesn't kill a bunch of people.

Your goal might be get people to think but your approach is so wrong. The most you are doing is causing people to turn away from you.

You could learn from the story of the "North Wind and the Sun"

The North Wind boasted of great strength. The Sun argued that there was great power in gentleness.

"We shall have a contest," said the Sun.

Far below, a man traveled a winding road. He was wearing a warm winter coat.

"As a test of strength," said the Sun, "Let us see which of us can take the coat off of that man."

"It will be quite simple for me to force him to remove his coat," bragged the Wind.

The Wind blew so hard, the birds clung to the trees. The world was filled with dust and leaves. But the harder the wind blew down the road, the tighter the shivering man clung to his coat.

Then, the Sun came out from behind a cloud. Sun warmed the air and the frosty ground. The man on the road unbuttoned his coat.

The sun grew slowly brighter and brighter.

Soon the man felt so hot, he took off his coat and sat down in a shady spot.

"How did you do that?" said the Wind.

"It was easy," said the Sun, "I lit the day. Through gentleness I got my way."
Use your prospective to help people not make your mistakes or help them better deal with the issues that caused your the most problems.
