Fun says, "Be Gone O Stupidity!"

Here are some useful ideas that will make you cleverer.

#1: Intelligence is not genetic
Scientific evidence is pointing to the direction that intelligence can be trained and improved over time. So, you are not born stupid. You just did not think hard enough to have strong brain muscle.

#2: The "I am lazy" excuse
Very often, people tell me that they are lazy to think, lazy to work. However, they aren't really lazy as they are spending a lot more energy and time on the matters involved. Simply because they never thought, their strategies aren't efficient. And we all know what laziness means - LEAST effort for MAXIMUM return. 30 minutes of hard thinking to solve a persisting issue is definitely more efficient than a lifetime of labouring to run around a persisting issue.

#3: No pain, no gain but too much pain, you get no gain too
A common fact. You got to flex your brain to improve its functionality. However, you don't have to throw a problem so tough that it gives up before trying. Always start with easy quizzes. Let your brain build up its strenght. Similarly, when you go to the gym, you don't hit the heaviest weight first. You start with something that you believe you can handle.

#4: Your brain is a heavy eater
A brain consumes a lot of oxygen and energy everyday. So, it is wise to give it enough of healthy food, water and oxygen. By having a balanced diet, properly hydrating yourself and breathing in enough fresh air, you are basically providing your brain with what it takes to perform well.

#5: You are not a robot
Even some robots do not work 24/7, so you should take adequate rest. Best to sleep before 11pm every night. Give your brain time to build more neurons to bridge for better performance. It is not just quantity, it is quality as well. So, hit your bed early, get a good quality sleep with the right quantity of about 6 to 8 hours.

Hope you enjoyed these five ideas that should make you cleverer. ;)
