Improving Your Mind

b)Improving Your Mind

In my first article i try to describe developing abilities and i mentioned that come with the birth. Now i am going to clarify intelligence that you have.

Your brain needs exercise. Because brain is muscle, too. When you use your brain more, it will be more efficient in solving.

Here are few ways to improve your brain yourself.

• Decrease Watching Tv: People love tv; after work or school. Because watching tv make people relax. But watching tv lot, make people too relax. Decrease it. Your eyes are sore and tired from being focused on the light box for so long. You don’t even have the energy to read a book. The problem is watching television does not use your brain full capacity. Instead of watching television, listen music or read a book. If you are with your friend or your family have conversation. It uses your brain a lot.

• Read Hard Books: People generally read popular books about fiction. But these books aren’t stimulating your brain enough. To improve your thinking, speaking or writing abilities, you have to read book that make you focus. For Example reading classic novels open new windows for thinking. Here are few kinds of books which increase your intelligence. They are advices of John Wesley.

1. “Science: Science is not restricted to scientific text books. It includes all books that increase our understanding of the natural world. This includes books on commerce and society, with the unifying theme being the use of evidence to explain events. The great value of these books comes, not from the theories they prove (which will likely be disproved in the future), but from the development of curiosity and the methods of learning. Scientific books teach us how to investigate our intuition and validate it with evidence.”

2. “Philosophy: If science teaches us to understand the outside world, philosophy teaches us to understand ourselves. Philosophy will increase your understanding of human needs and desires, knowledge that is essential for spreading ideas and predicting human behavior.”

3. “History: By learning about the past we are able to interpret our own times. We are able to recognize modern prejudices and the nature of humanity. Although history may not help us predict the future, it increases self understanding and awareness. It teaches us the timelessness of ideas and morality.”

4. “Poetry: Great poetry is the fusion of music and meaning. It is the medium of humanity’s most ancient masterpieces. Poetry sharpens language skills and develops eloquence. Meaning is only half of great language. The best authors write with a style that is both pleasurable and instructive. An appreciation of poetry is essential for reaching this degree of excellence.”

• Early to Bed, Early to Rise: Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity all day.
