| Improve
your Brain Power
My Grandpa presented to me a book namely “Maximize
your Brain Power" a practical guide to stretching
your mind. It is a Readers Digest publication.
It was a bit tough for me. But I understood one
thing clearly that I am not utilizing my brainpower
fully. Don’t you think you are utilizing
your brainpower fully? Before answering the question
please read this passage quoted below.
Can you read 25000
WORDS PER MINUTE? |
| |
A
matter of technique
Normally, a
person can read only about 240
words per minute. However, some schools
offer courses in speed–reading
or ‘photo-reading’,
a technique whereby anyone can supposedly increase
their reading capacity to about 25,000 words
per minute.
What's the best processor available today? Is
it the computer that enables you to view this
page and edit documents? No. That would be our
brains. Now imagine if we have the ability to
harness its full power. In these courses, participants
learn how to make use of the entire brain during
the reading process – normally, only the
left side of the brain is used. A person who
masters the technique properly can ‘photograph’
the entire printed page in his or her mind,
improving the intake of information.

Stop
‘speaking’
Learning
speed-reading takes time, and not everyone is
successful. You can also increase your reading
speed 10 to 40 times without taking a speed-reading
course. You will notice a vast improvement
if you don’t say each word in your mind
as you read. This makes your brainwork harder,
preventing it from doing other thing. You can
avoid this in the following way: move your index
finger along the lines and follow the finger with
your eyes.
Now we know the answer. This portion is taken
from Part 1. Perception. |

Perception |
| |
Eyes,
ears, nose and skin: these are the main sensory
organs that human beings use to perceive
and interpret the world. But let’s be honest,
how many of us go through each day with our senses
on full alert at all times? And yet it is a simple
matter to sharpen your perception skills. Whether
in a concert hall, a restaurant, in the great
outdoors or while on a holiday-new experiences
await you at every turn. And if you make good
use of your senses, you will discover a whole
world of new associations, allowing you to get
the best out of each and every situation. |

What
goes on in the brain when you solve a difficult
puzzle? Is it true that intelligent people generally
achieve more in life? And what does ‘being
creative’ really mean?

Conversation
can sometimes be a risky affair, especially it
is difficult to assess the character of the person
you are talking to. By developing calmness, self-confidence
and sensitivity, you can build bridges to personal
success and fulfillment in life. |
