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.

It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than the beasts. Man is impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic. Thus, no animal is clever enough, when there is a drought, to imagine that the rain is being withheld by evil spirits, or as punishment for its transgressions. Therefore you never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. No horse, for example would kill one of its foals to make the wind change direction. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the pr...

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: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia (Art: Photograph by Izis Bidermanas) ©THE LEARNING HUB 2023
