THE LEARNING HUB: What 10 things should I do every day to become smarter?

1. Brush your teeth with the opposite hand.

Basically trying to be ambidextrous pushes your brain to work harder to do the same tasks. This challenges your mind to make different connections and prevents deteriorating with age.

2. Learn at least 5 new words in another language every day.

Switching between languages takes a lot of concentration, focus, and self-control. Begin by this way will be a step in the right direction for you.

3. Turn nouns into verbs

It’s a great way to make you sound clever and memorable when you meet someone new. It makes what you say to-the-point and deep impressive. Intelligent people on this dating site seem to use verbs heavily to make themselves smart and elegant.

4. Lower your screen time to 30 mins a day.

Excessive smartphone use is detrimental to cognitive performance. You can also delete unnecessary apps from your phone.

5. Try caffeinated drinks

Caffeine stimulates your ability to concentrate, put you in a better mood, and can increase motivation. A cup of caffeinated tea or coffee could be the push you need to get your brain working at top speeds.

6. Carrying out tunes of music and matches certain pitches.

90% of children who received musical training over 20 days showed improved verbal intelligence. Some scientists thought that the brain could benefit just by listening to music.

7. Read the headlines of the e-newspaper daily.

You don’t need to read the newspaper from cover to cover. Reading the headlines will increase your world knowledge.

8. Play games like sudoku and scrabble.

Your brain can produce quite a few chemical reactions, and positive stimuli like a crossword increase brain functioning.

9. Say things out loud.

The simple act of hearing words aloud makes them more likely to stick with you - as does the process of repeating them.

THE LEARNING HUB: 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few: -Experiences -Genuine connections -A feeling of purpose -Genuine concern for helping others -Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.” 2. Weakness can be turned into hatred Weak people lack the ability to maintain any level of emotional intelligence. People who lack emotional intelligence and a strong sense of self are easily influenced to hate. Their values and convictions are not b...

THE LEARNING HUB: When you wake up in the morning...

When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural. ~Marcus Aurelius Book: Meditations https://amzn.to/3qjadxq (Art: Painting by Maximilien Luce)

By Bill Gates | June 25, 2024 The problems caused by climate change are often in the headlines. It’s less often that we hear about the progress being made in the fight against it. But through my investments and work with Breakthrough Energy, I’m lucky to have insight into a lot of the most exciting innovations—and the companies bringing them to life. At this year’s Breakthrough Energy Summit in London, over 100 of them have gathered to share the solutions they’ve been working on that are ready to get to work and tackle climate change today. They include: Window glass so energy efficient that it performs like a see-throug...
