What can I do to become smarter every day...
What can I do to become smarter everyday?
If
there's one thing that may make you feel good about yourself, it's knowing
you're the brightest person in the room. Of course, there's no assurance that
you're smarter than everyone else, but when you're the only one who can answer
a difficult question or solve a puzzle, you'll feel like a superstar. Being
clever, on the other hand, entails far more than solving puzzles and possessing
a vast knowledge base. After all, there are several forms of intelligence, and
they all tap into our brain's capacity.
Basically,
each new talent you learn, or just improving an old one, acquiring new
knowledge, or even finding something new about yourself, all contribute to you
being smarter in some manner. The difficulty is that you don't always have a
chance to shine, therefore we have no idea how clever someone is in the
majority of situations.
Based on
a sequence of interactions with that person, we may infer that they are either
smart or not so clever. To put it another way, don't strive to be clever in
order to brag; it'll almost certainly backfire. You should pursue knowledge for
the sake of knowing, and the techniques that follow will help you do so.
1. Find an activity that you enjoy.
Hobbies
are a wonderful kind of escape, and they may both enhance and fulfill you. As a
result, you should spend your time doing something both intriguing and hard.
Many activities, such as chess, video games, and doing crossword puzzles, urge
you to utilize a lot of brainpower. These may provide incredible mental
gymnastics and even give you a sense of accomplishment. There will be minimal
development in terms of obtaining information and understanding, but they are
not the only factors that define one's wits.
2. Use a comprehensive approach to learning.
You must
master the skill of comprehensive learning and apply it whenever feasible if
you want to be a walking encyclopedia. If you're in college and attempting to
prepare for midterms and finals, this can help. In a nutshell, holistic
learning is connecting new knowledge with what you currently know.
This means you'll have to work hard while learning, but you'll end up with a strong database that will be beneficial in the long term. The more holistic learning you use, the more knowledge you'll acquire with less and less study time. Your brain begins to resemble Wikipedia, and any issue gradually accumulates a growing number of relevant links to it.
3. Make learning your driving force.
The
distinction between holistic learning and this is that holistic learning is
about being efficient at learning, whereas this is about learning to discipline
oneself to want new information. The grading system is one factor that reduces
our desire to learn. Sure, it was meant to inspire us, but we don't naturally
grasp every topic. As previously said, there are several forms of intelligence,
and none of us can excel in every one of them. Some people excel in athletics,
while others excel at music or academics. A bad grade, on the other hand, might
demotivate us and cause us to abandon something we might have enjoyed.
This is
why I said you should learn for the purpose of learning - if you failed certain
topics in school, try again since every branch of science has something to
offer. You may watch the first season of Cosmos – A Space Time Odyssey or
Through the Wormhole on the YouTube channel CrashCourse. These are all
fantastic programs, and you'll feel a lot better after you begin to understand
some previously difficult ideas.
4. Acknowledge when you don't know anything.
Maybe
it's just my own experience, but I believe that peer pressure causes us to act
as if we know something, even if our knowledge of the subject is limited. And
it's absurd - why should you be judged for not understanding how to do
something or for not knowing a fact? We do, however, feel judged, so we attempt
to maintain a “cool” demeanor. As a result, we risk embarrassing ourselves much
more than if we just said, "Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're
talking about."
Why
pretend to know something you don't know if you want to learn about it? And why
pretend to be interested in the subject if you aren't?
5. Don't make hasty judgments.
You
should not, however, be the ultimate prude and construct scenarios obsessively
before making a simple decision. That kind of thinking will consume you and
generate a great deal of tension. There are, however, certain decisions that we
may make on the spur of the moment. There are other things that significantly
alter your life's status quo, and while some decisions are necessary, you
should consider long and hard before making them.
People
are prone to going into debt in order to have the wedding of their dreams, for
example. If the best day of your life results in a slew of problems in the
future, it will just serve as a negative memory. You can always have a good
wedding today, and if you have enough money, you can host a party to properly
commemorate your marriage in the future. Furthermore, changing your work or
whole career might be considered risky, so spend as much time as you need to
consider your options before taking the next step.
6. Make a list.
If you
want to become a smarter person, you must first define what it means to be
clever. What talents would you need, what goals would you need to attain, and
what experiences would you need to stand out from the crowd? To put it another
way, make a list. Everything you'll need to build the ideal version of yourself
should be on the list. It's not a project that should be finished; rather, it's
something that should be improved upon on a regular basis.
7. Take time to read books
Finally,
reading books on a regular basis is the finest approach to improve your
intelligence. Even reading an instruction manual, let alone a superb
masterpiece, makes you wiser. You may use a website called Goodreads to conduct
some research and pick a book that is suitable for your requirements and
sensibility. It's ideal for both intellectual and spiritual development, and if
you have trouble paying attention, you can always buy an audio version and
follow along with the text while the voice actor reads it. At least, that's
what I do. When it comes to growing wiser, books offer the complete package:
you get a wonderful tale, you learn something new, and you frequently adopt a
new viewpoint on things.
