Learn At Least One New Thing Each Day – Baloney!
The other day, I went to a website and it had advice for those folks that were intelligent, but really wanted to be a genius. One of the things it noted was that it was important to learn something new every day, and to always seek knowledge. Yes, I agree with most of that, and I certainly agree with the underlining philosophy, however I have a slight difference of opinion, and it comes from observation, experience, and now I can impart it to you as wisdom.
Forget this concept of learning something new every day, this thought you need to learn at least one new thing before you go to bed each and every night. Rather I would submit to you that you should seek to learn 100 new things each and every day of your life. And you might think that’s nearly impossible, but it’s not, I know because I do it every day. As you may not be used to it and just like someone who is training for a marathon, the average human cannot go out and run 10 miles per day, it takes conditioning and practice of course.
Indeed, I would submit to you that the average American who is that, dumb, and happy probably couldn’t run more than a mile and a half without hyperventilating, or pulling a muscle, and running out of breath. But if you practice, eventually you will be able to run three miles a day, four, five, six, and eventually ten miles without stopping. The same thing goes for learning. Sometimes you just have to focus, you have to turn your mind on, get excited about learning, and you’ll soon find out you are quite good at it.
The human brain works much like a muscle, so this is not anything you can’t accomplish. I suppose there are days when I learned 200 things, and hopefully I retain much of that, but memory is also like a muscle, as it gets better the more you use it, and the more you recall that information for use in various human endeavors. If you want to be a genius, you will have to constantly be learning and gathering new information.
They say you should never go to sleep on a full stomach, but I say you should never go to sleep with an empty mind. It is amazing what the mind can do when it rests, and if you have been accumulating information, your mind may work through problems that other humans have never solved. And if you do what I’m explaining here in this article, you too can come up with two or more original thoughts every single day of your life. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
As people go through life, they may strive to learn more about topics and events of interest in their business field or things that affect them personally. Some professional certifications and organizations may require members to complete continuing education unit (CEU) credits throughout the year to keep up their membership status and knowledge. Those who wish to pursue continuing education in lifelong learning for personal enrichment may find that one of the best ways to do so is through seminars at a local university or learning center. While it sounds like a good idea in theory, this is sometimes difficult for people with busy lifestyles. Here are some ways to fit continuing education seminars and classes into a busy schedule to meet requirements or for personal enrichment.
For the first time college student, trying to figure out how you’re going to finance your education cost can be quite a difficult thing. Many times, students will drop out and leave college because the stress of trying to pay for all the expenses becomes too much of a burden for them to handle. It seems that colleges all across the nation are raising the cost of attendance that it becomes extremely difficult for many people to try and pay for it on their own. People are often awestruck at the expenses of a college education because they often just think of the tuition cost, but there are so much more to it. And so you have to make sure that you have the right financial backings to pay for it all.
The past few months have seen record numbers of applications to UK universities. According to the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), an extra 57,000 students have applied for degree courses compared to the same time last year, leading to speculation from many corners of the media that around 50,000 people will be denied a place. Yet, as higher education funding is cut, and university places become more in demand – it may surprise some that university has never really been anymore accessible.
