Why You Should Feed Your Brain

Science helps us understand that growth is a physical change characterized by the increase in size, height, length, and weight while development refers to changes in a physical organ or the structure that results in improved functioning of the physical organ.

The former is only quantitative while the latter is both quantitative and qualitative.

Development is a continuous process that starts from the time of conception and continues until the end of life.

Based on biological science, growth is limited to a certain age, it usually stops when maturity has been attained. These terms are independent and cannot replace one another.

Growth is important as development. When the structural frame of the brain is achieved, its functioning is paramount.

Your brain has the ability to grow and develop as you age. It has a plastic nature (brain plasticity) which enables it to change and adapt as a result of experience. I mean plastic nature by function not that it is made of plastic.

Amongst the other forms of plasticity, this is targeted at the effects of learning on the brain.

Why you should feed your brain?

The more you train your brain, the healthier it develops. Some research suggests that early childhood is a time of substantial brain development and plasticity. What happens after is dependent on the person, their experience, and how they learn.

For constant development of your brain, you must keep challenging your brain to new connections by learning a new skill, improving skills, learning a new language, reading, finding new ways to solve problems, trying a new recipe, and so on.

Unlike growth which is limited, development still occurs as you enhance. The continuous feeding of your brain is important for maximum functioning.

Feed your brain with the right knowledge and create the realities that you desire as your practice what you choose.

An Asset?

Long ago, in a faraway land called Sumer near the Persian Gulf, the city was known as the cradle of civilization. When their businesses began to bloom such that the administration and calculations of trade numbers or purchases could no longer be done by memory, causing a drag in their mode of operations. This disruption motivated a creative Sumerian to create a solution to the problem which brought about the art of writing. Writing was introduced to the system primarily for record-keeping. Although writing started with symbols (pictograph) and inscriptions on local materials such as clay and reeds. Writing evolved into a sophisticated script called the cuneiform which was used to record information about bureaucracy and authority, and other aspects of life. These were mostly written on scrolls. Imagine what the world would have been without the collection of events or experiences... Just imagine They would be no history, memories, shreds of evidence of the past, and of cours...

The Knowledge gap

Does the knowledge gap still exist? The concept of the knowledge gap proposes that; as the infusion of mass media information into a social system increases, segments of the population with higher socioeconomic status tend to acquire this information at a faster rate than the lower status segments so that the gap in knowledge between the segments tends to increase rather than decrease. Knowledge is a form of wealth that is often unevenly distributed in a social system just like every other form of wealth. Although this concept has been challenged after the emergence of web 2.0 that is, the internet. Internet use has helped paced the knowledge gap between the advantaged and less advantaged. Previously, those who were of higher socioeconomic status were privileged to get information at a faster rate than those who were not. Information dissemination and accessibility have evolved over time. Information on the web is created to fit the general audience. It can be understood by both ...

Curiosity and the Cat

I find it hard to believe that the cat was ever on good terms with curiosity. I mean, if they had built an ideal partnership, no death would have been recorded. Did curiosity kill the cat? well, maybe. The cat just didn't know what he wanted. He was snooping around for anything and everything. Unguarded and unnecessary was the cause of his passing. Too bad! One of the most important tools for learning and improvement is curiosity. Research has shown the impact of curiosity on cognition and the effect on a person's interest in learning. The brain finds it appealing when curiosity is triggered toward a particular topic or endeavor. Curiosity is significant for success. It is a driving force that charts new discoveries in almost every field. It is also a mental exercise that strengthens the mind muscles. The more you indulge in curiosity the higher your chances of expanding your mind's horizon. Reading nurtures your curiosity, once there is the wi...
