evaluation criteria Critical Thinking


Critical thinking is a "complex process of consultations involving. A broad range of skills and attitudes" The first time I became aware of. Critical thinking as a practice for many years as a student at the University, in the preparation of evaluation missions

Was developed, which was for me a lifelong habit of questioning: Who says what, why, and what can I say?

Also constantly ask questions, I learned that critical thinking involves verification bias. One of the few books I remember college days Darrell Huff's How to Lie with Statistics, which I highly recommend.

So what?

I always have a diploma frames, never worked students. As a matter of priority, and in advance, I think the stated evaluation criteria and important skills that people will be expected to develop and demonstrate, including how they are expected to comply with the evaluation criteria.

Critical thinking in the field of higher education in collaboration with the complexity, uncertainty, and dynamic interactions. It is above all a constant challenge and the knowledge about alternatives. In detail, critical thinking is as follows:

a systematic approach to the scale and identification of interacting elements of a strategic problem

The risks in the process of

Difficult cases (ours and others)

Reviewed various strategic options

Identify and defend the selection criteria

Reflect the impact of the paradoxes, limitations and incomplete knowledge

Using evidence to draw conclusions valid and entitled to plead the cause of the draw.

The content of this framework has been learning has always been a means to an end, in my opinion. The only reason to attend a graduate is to develop high-level skills of thinking and learning to work in communities of practice with his teammates at the top of the complex knowledge.
The ability to work and life?

The ability to think critically is obviously important, of all the possible things that affect our lives are informed, so that the media and advertising we believe that the politicians want to tell us. What is the truth? Where is the hidden agenda? We are being manipulated?

Critical thinking is a core set of skills that should be learned by anyone who went to college. Why, when so many people with college education, no critical thinking and the challenge seems lacking in organizations so many years?

The current global financial crisis is a rich source show of historical evidence that social and cognitive barriers to critical thinking and action are deeply rooted in our individual tendency to avoid conflict, where a delay in the development of social habits and rigid organizational structures .
Individual barriers

Cognitive bias is a problem. Our prejudices (often unknown), and the assumptions we make. Based on these prejudices affect the conclusions that they reach and the choices we make

Another obstacle is the individual tendency to make decisions that may be driven by emotions or ideology that can be justified post-rational.
Obstacles to group dynamics

Group dynamics can lead to think only when it becomes difficult to contradict a prevailing view or request the status quo. Question of power is not for the faint of heart. For those who have the courage to go against the grain and talk, you run the risk of public condemnation.

Said Gillian Tett of the Financial Times that in the economic form 2007 in Davos:

"One of the most powerful people in the U.S. government at the time was on the podium and praised my article, the article predicted the problems of Northern Rock, for example, of the fear-mongering"

Construction of silos and mental models

The combination of rigid mental models and organizational structures barriers rooted in the system of critical thinking. Limited prospects in silos, rather than one or more organizations Eco-system.

Gillian Tett, spoke about the impact of bunker mentality in the Guardian article referenced above. Financial analysts are focusing on their own experiences could not see the bigger picture. But for me, an example of the failure of the CIA and the Defense community in the context of the atrocity is 9/11 is the simplest irrigation.

John Farmer as a senior adviser 9/11. In his opinion, the old settings and modes of operation of the Cold War era in secret, imposed including the CIA, the FBI and the Department of Defense. ". Defective by design" unwilling and unable to provide information on agencies shares were systemic failures and results of systems, farmers were told:

"The boundaries between and within the different sections of the country came to the knowledge of knowledge acquired abroad, the findings from the human intelligence of electronic skills and knowledge acquired by investigation leads to criminal behavior, the effects of awareness of the situation and general intelligence. .. each line rises on a fault line, condemned an opportunity for the system to fail. "

It also examines the responses to Katrina in 2005, and in the epilogue to the second edition of the book, the attempted attack on a plane at Schipol Airport Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas 2009th Katrina said:

"The unwillingness or inability bureaucratic cooperation between ministries paralyzed efforts to anticipate and respond to Katrina, not unless it was efforts to intercept and respond to crippled 9/11, the opportunity which a unified chain of command."

If this lack of willingness to cooperate and the inability to change the mindset of an earlier, exceeded bureaucratic arise in the defense of a nation and a city, you certainly can occur in research income.

Carriage agreement

It is in this context that Margaret Heffernan "willful blindness" describes in this TED conference to oppose Dare, where people do not see or know to choose. Face blindness means questioning skills development and disagreements, but he says, while against a Nero-biological unit goes forces us to look for people like us. He also said that most people are instinctively afraid of conflict. His conclusion is that we do. The skills, habits and moral courage to participate in this challenge and overcome our fear of conflict need to develop

Practice allows

Like any other skill requires the development of critical thinking and behavioral skills a lot of practice and deliberate. Challenging the status quo is never will be easy, but it can and must be done. I know it can be done because I have been working to transform with extraordinary people who challenged the status quo to the cultures of the power in their workplace.

One of my goals for the company to work at an early alpha smart community open learning is a place where critical thinking is to experience a safe place to reflect, share and discuss together. We are practicing against another - without being disagreeable, of course! There is something to do.

The examples given here are spacious, with serious consequences, but we all face similar challenges to think critically and to act accordingly when making decisions in increasingly complex environments. Margaret Heffernan talks about winning allies courage. I hope to develop supportive relationships within the community open learning, to promote the need to look in the help of allies in their workplace.

Increasing requirements for ESD protective breathing innovative architecture Strategies


  • The higher data rates through the new I / O, such as HDMI, SATA, DisplayPort, MIPI and engineers are needed studying ways to reduce the ability of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices. Manufacturer, but are willing to a higher level through finer process geometries offer are vulnerable to attack by EDS.

    EDS is now struggling with traditional architectures to ensure adequate protection and support the desired speeds, the design community before a big dilemma. As a result, engineers are forced to difficult trade-offs between reliability and quality of the signal, which threatens an element of the overall system performance. Chip design that can meet the new demands for both higher throughput and better ESD protection has become a difficult task for manufacturers.

    The development of the ESD protection

    The landscape of the ESD protection has undergone a dramatic change with the acquisition of producing smaller geometries, the lined and the protection of the changing environment of the application:

    Small geometries: What process node semiconductors for advanced nowadays integrated circuits (ASICs) and 90 nm fell below the level of voltage and power outages occur that discharge also produce lower. Interfaces widespread adoption of high-speed data increases the complexity of maintaining signal integrity and maintaining an adequate level of ESD protection. Robust ESD protection usually means higher capacity, which threaten to adversely affect the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), forcing developers to one or the other.

    Reduces chip protection: ESD damage sensitivity was well known. For example, the Industry Council on ESD Targets recently announced an initiative to reduce the level of standard on-chip ESD protection, so that the external ESD protection circuits against the more critical for system reliability.

    Changes in the application environment: laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras and other portable consumer devices to be used in uncontrolled environments (ie, without the use of adhesive tape to the ground strap or polished driver / tops). In these environments, user I / O connector pins when connecting / disconnecting cables. Portable device also charge can accumulate during normal use and then discharged when power to another device, such as for example, connected to a computer or a television.

    Equalization impedance

    A matched impedance of the total transmission line is a critical factor in the drawings, a high speed. The characteristic impedance is affected by many factors, including the line width, the thickness of the dielectric plate, sheet materials, and components of the traces.

    The characteristic impedance of a transmission line is the square root of L / C, where L is the inductance and C is the capacitance, the. Therefore, if the additional capacity to a point, then the impedance is reduced at this point. Conversely, when the inductance is added to increase the impedance. The inclusion of an ESD protection circuit is due to its own ability to influence the impedance of the line. Consequently, it must be compensated by an impedance matching.

    Although the main goal of an optimized design matches the impedance of the line, is entitled to 100 Ω ± 15% in the HDMI standard. Each guard added to. The line when a diode varistor suppressor or polymer inserts, the ability to not only from the device itself, but also the connection points of the printed circuit board unit (PCB)

    Increased capacity and distorts the signal of poor quality video and even failure of the compliance test result. Therefore, the ESD protection vendors have concentrated on reducing the capacity of their plants. However, as already mentioned, this negative impact on the performance of the ESD protection. For example, the capacitance of the diode can be reduced by reducing its size. This may lead to increase the resistance, but this will result in a higher voltage and leakage current terminal to reach the protected device.

    Compensation techniques

    In order to compensate for the additional protection device performance, system designers often try to reduce the capacity elsewhere on the board, or add an additional inductance. Compensation techniques typically include:

    • Adding a common mode choke or filter: The inductance of a coil can compensate additional capacity ESD device. Unfortunately, the high speed Common Mode Inductors design can be very costly and should be avoided.

    • Reducing the width of the track in the protection (increased inductance trace): Often referred to as "trace necking", this technique can be very effective if only small amounts of compensation are required, however, a restriction thin dielectric. occurs and the capacity of the ESD protection device is too high, it may be difficult to achieve a suitable impedance.

    • Reduce trace capacitance: This can by removing the lower ground plane and reduce the possibility of plot done in the field of ESD.

    Although each of these techniques has been successful at best suboptimal due to the additional complexity of the design and cost. You need good design and control of manufacturing processes and environments, the use of expensive external components (such as common mode chokes) or complex PCBs increased total bill. Another drawback is that many engineers do not have enough experience in the design of controlled impedance layout. This lack of experience often leads to errors in design and development costs and snowballs as schedule multiple grafts and checkerboard design and production. Finally, many large manufacturers favor with several suppliers of PCBs that make it difficult to handle a unique design that makes making works with all providers.

    A new approach

    Given the significant shortcomings of these compensatory techniques to investigate further semiconductor manufacturers for innovative architectures to ensure the integrity, even at high data rates required by the industry today. And they do this without the possibility of ESD protection element is of paramount importance in doubt.

    One example is the architecture PicoGuard XS. According to the developers, ON Semiconductor, the integrity of the interface data signals defend at a high speed while improving the ESD protection. This eliminates the parasites, routing and tracking on the package, instead of the bottom. We reject any compensation from the integration of external inductors with the ESD diode, corresponding to the impedance of the signal line. Inductors integrated ESD to improve performance by reducing the voltage and residual current seen blocking the ASIC.

    Standard packaging structure allows the soil around the lower part of the body (Fig. 1). That is, the wire bond pads of the die is still very long, which. An adjustment of the inductance So the motherboard manufacturer does not need to make a compensation method. In addition, with respect to the dynamic resistance (RDYN) surpass using product architecture PicoGuard XS other traditional flow through parts that says protecting high speed differential data lines ON Semiconductor.

    The architecture eliminates the need to change or inductances wide traces on the board. Also not on the stacked card, the system designer with multiple providers, configure without an impedance table for each supplier to make depend. Capable of an impedance is independent of the number of layers of the circuit board game, the thickness of the dielectric, and other variables provide specific design.

    Here Comes The Science Bit

    ESD protection device for an inductor standard provides the parasitic inductance of the wire and the conductor paths leading to the protective device (Figure 2). The inductive element has a high impedance high impact ESD download speed, which limits the ability of the guard to quickly absorb energy. As a result, more energy reaches the protected ASIC.

    In contrast, the inductive elements of the architecture PicoGuard XS series with the conduction path for the protection ASIC (Fig. 3). What actually limiting current and voltage of the device deprotection. Firstly, the inductive reactance is L1 connector holding an electrostatic discharge. It acts in the opposite direction of the current ESD, helps to limit the peak voltage type. The inductive reactance in L2 firepower pull side ASIC ESD current limited then by ESD protection diodes. The same time the voltage drop across the two elements in series to reduce the voltage in the ASIC parameters as protected.

    Completion

    The next generation of electronic devices that support data transfer marry at high speed with high signal integrity and chain of custody of electrostatic discharge. This requires a fundamental change in the design of ESD protection, because now is the point where the borders of traditional techniques capacitance compensation are too large, achieved. It was the advent of advanced architectures, requires the signal integrity for high-speed interfaces and provides ESD protection required for reliable operation possible.

Results to Stimulate Self-help 20 Minutes of Exercise a Day



. "We are what we repeatedly do excellence then is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle

Since I am old enough to understand a few things about the world, the law of cause and effect and reward punishment, I already knew how to better.

When I. Not an "A" in my test article, and I thought I needed to improve in order to achieve better performance

If I wanted to get a toy, either I had to convince my parents about why I deserved. That was the golden rule I grew up as an adult.

You only get something if they tried, and only if it improves. This is true for many of us, regardless of age or condition, we are in the present.


This does not mean that the world is a brainwashed us with a system of incentives and threats has.

Instead, it is a reality that we must accept if we are to try that for us, we will never change our bad habits.

In a world where we are bombarded with technical improvements, we feel overwhelmed us and even ask if it was time for them.

However, there are three basic exercises, the implementation and not even an hour of the day can.

I hope that these simple exercises you can change to a good start for the better in 2013.

Relaxation (10 minutes per day)

An article from the University of Maryland Medical Center mentioned how relaxation techniques can help you cope with stress and promote the long-term health by lowering the body and the mind calm.

These exercises help to concentrate the mind and body consciousness and connects the body and mind. This leads to a greater willingness to improve themselves.

One such technique is the breathing. Anyone can do it anywhere. As a daily ritual reflection, the preferred environment is private and quiet, to avoid distractions.

"Put one hand on your chest and the other in the abdomen. Take a deep breath slowly and deeply, inhaling as much air as possible. As you do this, you can do that, your stomach should be pressed against your hand. Hold your breath and then exhale slowly "- relaxation techniques, the University of Maryland Medical Center.

I used this technique, of all places, while I was preaching at a church. The priest used the method before preaching his parish.

What I learned from this experience is that my spirit soar and to remove all doubts. I always do when I feel stressed or when you can not sleep.

Reflection (10 minutes per day)

Reflection or meditation has started to become a popular way to restore the balance to be in life. Although there have been associated with religious practices, but it is also known to have psychological benefits.

Groups of Alcoholics Anonymous and other support continue to exercise personal moral inventory of their resentments and character flaws to achieve personal change.

Allen McConnell, a professor at the University of Miami, wrote in Psychology Today, our ability to increase our objectives, we have to be self-experience in a position to see where we need from our current performance and our ideals.

Recommended Interestingly, one of the gurus in my life, Stephen Covey, and a way of thinking as an effective way to get the best results from their books. Defend, as he did the usual eight, read his books like "The annual growth and personal development."

Usually you can begin the reflection, a book to use his personal notes on the map or dreams / long-term goals. As they take a break and ask yourself:
 While reading a book (per day): reflect on specific areas that you have to read and see what is relevant to you. See how this connects with their goals.
 When considering personal notes (daily as monotherapy or in combination with a book) to reflect what they have done. (For the day or for the week) and how it connects to the realization of its goals To be more precise about what you are going to do for the day in order to achieve this goal and connect with your weekly goals or to-do list.
 If you look on your card or your dream to look at long-term goals (weekly), and determine the specific area you are. During the week and specific actions that have been done so far and what can be done, work to achieve Make a list of things to do this week.
 Re-Telling (20 minutes, once a week)

This is preferably done once a week and can replace the thought process.

In the manifesto, the confidence of the people I wrote the reasons you express and share their improvement process with a trusted friend or have a family member:
 Humor: You can find an explanation you get, and make sure you are on the right track.
 Accountability: You nailed your account their goals and then go to a push to get what to do and not get lost in laziness or procrastination.
 You need a good support system, if you really want to take your serious face.

Not everyone can go one step further and get organized. There are three things you need to consider when looking for a good media
 Reliability: trust you know and believe sincerely wants emotional support.
 Empathy: someone who worked a level of experience in the same number to tell you, or at least in a project of self-improvement.
 A method for assembling: it is necessary to determine how the follow-up session (online or face to face). This should not be a formal context. It can be done with a cup of coffee, a conversation in the park or a call via Skype.
 The plan

Make at least a daily exercise, if at all. Usually within a week I would be six days of reflection and relaxation and history someday.

It does not take much time to do it, but will give you a wide range of personal change. Of course, these exercises serve only the first part of the plan. It is necessary to implement its resolutions and things to do at work.

This exercise serves as a reinforcement for their own improvement plan because it predisposes to improved performance and keep your goals.

Are you ready to dive into a real change? What exercises do you have now? What you seem to be a challenge?

Technical Practice Tips to Fight Against Stress

If you are under stress your muscles are tense, the heart beats faster, breathing becomes rapid and shallow, and your brain is awake. In small doses, stress can harm the performance in situations such as sports or work, but if excessive or prolonged, your health. You can also feel anxious, tired, unable to concentrate, or irritable, sad or depressed. Stress tends to increase when the normal stresses of life is too much for you, or by an upsetting event, such as a duel trigger.
 
Technical Practice
This deep breathing exercise helps to calm the body and mind. Deep breathing with your diaphragm and abdominal muscles is the basis for most methods of relaxation. Find a place where you will not be disturbed, take the receiver off the hook and / or turn off your phone and these exercises for 10-20 minutes every day to practice.
* Wear loose clothing and sit or lie in a comfortable position. Then Place one of your hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Breathe in slowly through your nose, hold your breath for a moment, then slowly exhale. Try breathing with abdominal muscles to move the bottom rather than the top.
* Once you know that you are breathing from the belly, put your hands just below the ribs and hands feel like your belly up and down. If you feel more relaxed, let your hands at your sides and enjoy the relaxation.
What you can do
People react differently to stress depending on their personality and the support they have around them. Although you can not always control the events in your life difficult, you can see how you react to daily stress and learn to avoid some of them.
* Get enough sleep, if you're tired, you are more stressed are.
* Eat regularly to keep your energy levels stable throughout the day. Do not miss breakfast. Includes fruit, cereal, bread, pasta and rice in their diets. Cut up foods such as cheese, eggs, red meat and butter are high in fat. Reduce sugar and salt.
* Reduce the intake of caffeine or cut in order to limit your intake of coffee, tea, cola and chocolate.
* Exercise regularly, especially if you have a sedentary job. The exercise produces "feel good" chemicals in the brain that increase your sense of well-being. Try 15-30 minutes of brisk walking or swimming or cycling.
* Establish a regular time each day specifically for relaxation: do not wait until you feel exhausted. Normal Take a walk, try to listen to Your Preferred music, or try meditation or yoga.
* Imagine a place where you feel warm, comfortable and relaxed, as if we were on a sunny beach. Try to imagine all the sounds, smells or colors, smells and sensations.
Practicing breathing exercises and directed *, that can be used when you feel tense (see technical practice)
* If you are in the middle of a stressful situation, try to have a couple of minutes. Go for a brisk walk or sit in a quiet place to relax.
* If your muscles are tense, try to relax (see technical practice).
* Try to control self-criticism. To counteract this, remember your strengths and successes he has had in the past.
* Do not remove their worries, but usually share their problems with their family and friends.
* Not to short-term "fix" to try alcohol or illegal drugs. In the long run will only add to their problems.
 
Technical Practice
 
To relax the muscles learn to recognize when your muscles are tight, as this will help you control stress reactions. This can be practiced consciously relax problem areas. If time is short, you can use exercise to a group of muscles, help as shoulders. Keep your eyes closed throughout, and breathe slowly with abdominal muscles.
* To prepare for the exercise, be aware of how your muscles in a relaxed and when you stretch. Try to imagine the tension disappear as you relax each muscle.
* Yawn, then release. Moose closely, and release. Frowning grind your eyes and nose, then release. Frowning, then relax all the muscles of the face.
* Raise your shoulders up to your ears. Hold for a few seconds and then lower still. Repeat 2-3 times. To solve the neck muscles, gently move your head from one side to the other.
* Tighten and relax the muscles of the abdomen, then turn each buttock. Press and release the right fist, all the muscles in the arms. Repeat with the left arm.
* Tighten the muscles of his right leg, hold for a few seconds, then release. Tense and let the calf muscles and thighs. Repeat with the left foot and leg.
PREVENTION
Reduce stress if you have a lot of stress are the following steps will help you the causes and deal with them and feel healthier as a result.
* Note in 2-3 weeks, you. The situations in which you felt under pressure and when the stress is made worse or better than normal Think about how you might react differently to feel more in control. Ask your family what to do in similar situations.
* Always Accept that there are thing you cannot control, such as hold-up of traffic on the way to work.
* Organize and prioritize your time. Do what is important first. Anticipate delays and reduce their other commitments at this time.
* Identify the tasks seem too big to tackle all at once. Use a list and check the tasks to complete.
* Did not have realistic expectations in the tasks that they feel unable to do, or do not participate. Delegate in the situation. Do not feel guilty if things go wrong or demoralized.
* Take regular breaks during the day when it just look out the window to grab lunch.

How to have a conversation without awkward silence


One of the biggest problems that can arise when trying to get to know the new members will be awkward silence. I find this situation is so uncomfortable that can make even avoid meeting new people in the first place, but there is a way to solve the problem. In the past, he fights against an awkward silence so I thought it was a problem without a solution. I thought I had to change my DNA or something ... But I proved to myself that I was wrong when I found out how to solve it. Not knowing conversation can really affect your social life, but if you know how to keep the words flowing, you can meet, talk and get to know almost everyone who creates great opportunities for companies, joint recreation and activities may missed.

Why did you run out of things to say

After studying this topic in depth, I have found patterns that can prevent a lot of conversation with people. Filtering is common behavior audience or even new acquaintances say anything until you "marked" with yourself to make sure it is what you say is cool, awesome, smart and interesting. What do your conversation skills? Kill! Another problem is how to get in the mood to talk. If you spent a day of work or study subjects or analytical logic, do not know how it happens, then it can take a long time to warm up and start interacting with people socially. You can solve it just to learn some new techniques, such as those listed below. Do it once, and you can talk to people and make friends more easily.

Keeping calls

We'll help you get started with some basic techniques but scientific about how to be a good conversation:
Issue number one conversation without filtering

Mirror, it is a reflection that allows you to say what you have you. Not filtered, not checks to himself with there mistake "would be nice if I speak what I think?". None of it. The best ways to train is to start doing it with the kind of knowledge that people dare to try? It's fun to realize that you are allowed to say what's on your mind, and no one will judge you for it. If you say something that can make those around you uncomfortable, maybe sat're nuts, you're kidding! People do not care much about how "amazing" you say, is that they focus too much on the way they are. Get it? If it so let's continue on ...

Technique call number two "That's so interesting, tell me more!"

It gives 99% of the time. This technique is foolproof, and works particularly well for beginners. People like to know that you are interested in what they have to say, so if you show some interest, drags you and you want to talk more. All "oh this is interesting ..." "Hmm, I have never heard of him", "Hmm, yes!" Reactionary expressions are fragments of conversation that show the other person that you are really listening, and very flattering to them.

# 3 Call technique levels everywhere

Everyone knows the stories to juice calls, but most people just talk about their life stories. You do not need to draw from the experience of his conversation with someone, you can use the stories, however, the stories that happened to people you know, I've met through radio, television, magazines, etc.? How to integrate your call stories? The key is to understand first that you can use. Heard, and the most interesting or funny they are, they are more difficult to forget, so it's all good. Your mind will not be lost. When someone says something about one of them, just tell the story, but not your life. It can be silly story, short or long, interesting, or just use totally embarrassing! People love to talk with people who simply share these things openly. They need to start, but if you take it advanced level where you can have fun just talking to everyone, know the right people you want in your life, and be able to make friends with the speed I recommend you take some time to learn more about how the talks. If you do this, you will need to make much more interesting conversations natural ease, avoiding any awkward silences that could delay the application of the best friends I want to be around.

# 4 Find something to tell their favorite topics
We all have things we are excited about the activities, hobbies, projects, objectives, ideas or work. Take the time to make a list with a short but important things you are passionate about, and make talking easier for you. We read this list a few times and know it well. Then, when you are in a call, browse the list and find a way to turn the conversation on a topic on it.

# 5 Ask open-ended questions
One way to keep a conversation is to take the direction of the conversation to another person. And the best way to do this is to answer open question. These are questions that require more than a simple "yes" or "no" answer, and offer the possibility of much more rich answers. Questions like "What do you think of this event?" Instead of "Do you like this event? These kinds of questions people talk and can be a lifesaver basic techniques cease calls.

# 6 release
Often, it is difficult to have a conversation, not that I can not think of anything to say, but because we fear that the other person does not enjoy the subject or an opinion we became this particular brain. However, most of the time, this fear has no basis in reality. This is me emitter emit call are basic techniques meant to say what you think now, instead of censoring you. Give it a try and you will find that people are not that hard, and you can enjoy many things in conversation.

# 7 Let's end the other person Silence
Most people do not feel comfortable with an awkward pause in the conversation. When this happens, try to immediately fill something to say. It can be used to track a call. When, for example, that only met someone new at a party, you talk and talk stuck to a terminal of this person to find peanuts or something. Instead, stay back and let the silence you. Most times, the other will eventually resume the conversation and silence.

# 8 to practice, practice, practice
I know many people who have had major problems in maintaining ongoing dialogues and now can do even shy or not very cooperative. How did they get there? They practiced. Pushed you in your comfort zone aware, meet new people, socialize and implement techniques such as fourth over all. To do the same and see the same kind of results with their conversation skills.
What were some basic techniques without having to be an awkward silence you, it's all a matter of practice

Create and protect the main engines

Very interesting, even without the intention of exchanging ideas, I was able to a first business plan. It would be a small source of income at first - not enough to break down a job, I suppose - but first it is a lot of potential.

As a reminder, I have my job recently and contemplation market's begin to believe it may be better for me to try something on my own hand, lost. Even with my experience and skills, and also the fact that I live in an area with many jobs go, it's incredibly difficult for me, a job, especially a job that my long-term goals are contributing. The reason is unknown to me, too, because even though I have a nice personality, a good learning experience and ability, there are some "X Factor", makes people angry or afraid of me, or they see me as "off." Is it because my ear gives me an accent, and I try to speak properly? Keep your shoulders and maintain a good posture? I am funny, anyway? I do not know, but despite my manners and competence demonstrated "X Factor" opportunity cost me most of what I get are jobs that employers feel sorry for me or pity is so desperate to work for me, without my materials, or rent anything. It's silly, and you can not correct X-factor, not knowing what it is.

The difficulty is that to do better for a side job, my ability and my interest, than you used to my disadvantage. My first job in Texas to participate increasingly hostile as they worked hard, and they do their best to make me do things, humble, while the order backlog satisfaction than when I was a boy, had all-consuming cleaning during my bosses often drink orders stolen. Most employers who have tried seriously irrational.

In those rare cases, and sometimes I could do with a client my own brand of ideas I always had good results, which could be a closet full sit-down service in the bar or processing queries randomly, so I think we have the potential large services / products that are better rewarded when an employer would not contribute in my way. There are good people out there who might know where I can get, but my hard to find!

Since 2012, I got all of my New Years resolutions to integrate on any subject to the kind of year that I like to get, and 2013 is the year of the first movement, for me, is when everything is possible, the main type of engine, that I can be to be. This is a term that I do by Ayn Rand, which are used to describe the most talented people in a society, the people who follow their own judgment and thinking learned ("move" in itself) and things, very great in the world ("move" the world), such as inventions, scientific discoveries and philosophical, and so on. They are summarized as the movement of people and move the world, but are not affected by the irrational behavior of others to submit to his talent as to persons or requirements please give nosy curious. Consider Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney. I have to have no idea yet what kind of driving force, but one has become in his own right my wish this year.

If I run around randomly around some ideas on personal improvement and reflection on the Year of Prime motion, as if trying to make money with specialized writing on the topic of mental health and bounce self improvement Motors Prime? Can be human-in other words, the methods used and rare in the absolute best, and how to deal with the inherent tensions of such persecution.

Yes, I tell you! Lots of potential here! Since leaving the University was worth burning in me to maximize my powers of a human being. This quote from Leonard Peikoff says it best:


"[The proud man] does not by itself require the impossible, but requires every ounce of effort. He refuses to be satisfied with a defective soul, shrugging in self-deprecation 'That's me." He knows' me' was created, and is variable through him. "(The parentheses are mine.)
Yes! This is what I mean with a mover! Recognize the potential of each bit contained everything. In the realm of possibility Since a person's life must decide this means that the best possible mood, possible the best body, the best possible ethical best personality is possible, and non-stop! (Of course, the details vary considerably. "Best Body" is different in the design of computer programmer for a real body builder) This kind of self-realization is huge and exhausting, but it is possible that if you know the right methods to use in order for the intended purpose, and how to deal with stress, such as fatigue or load, ask for the hostility of the racket. This is to see a complex issue for everyone, but solvable, if someone is willing to devote a lifestyle for maximum respect for this design lies in the pursuit of the greatest happiness.

When I just left university, I was also in a limited sphere of blogs devoted to ruthless self-improvement known. Always slept analyze and measure goals publicly and come up with some original stuff, fun, pretty unique movement vocabulary that is deeper and more cognitively beneficial in their practice of religion, need a stopwatch to work, stimulated by increased productivity. I got it there was my own methods to maximize a human being, and many efforts have to prove concrete results that the way the vocabulary exercise sharpened my mind or I do. "I see spent almost better in one place

I've written about before, I think it would be wise to specialize in personal improvement, mainly because I know better what people are interested and go for what they are to die bored, as the number of blogs "More hotel reviews weekly" I almost without a disk remained stubbornly.

But beyond self-improvement should also be a lot of analysis on mental health for the people who want to maximize their own. Main engines of society, such as Thomas Edison and Aristotle, are extremely rare, so rare and decisions beaten path, and it also means mental stress as unique and unusual as the solitude in a certain way, is brutally attacked by people who are jealous, with a view for decades treated unfairly on the job market are, and so on. As far as I know, has little or nothing about how may people were effectively written not deal with it, at least from the perspective of someone who explicitly to a personal record, so unfortunately it is difficult for people like how to act effectively when bullying often leads to misery, injustice in the labor market makes them feel like you are, or if they. scared when people do not feel agree Analysis philosophical / psychological care not what others think, and so is everything in the literature, but almost nothing is directed with respect to the rates in people, their lower paid and there are no problems, such as the psychology of aging with the frustration of decades failures in the labor market mixed, as someone who can not get their just reward of up to 40 years or more.

All of this is a personal, one way or another for me. The value of self-realization intensive sewn into me when I went on a huge self-improvement spree after graduation, often working very hard, I had to sleep exhausted and wound-induced head sometimes. I had killed many others, irrational, like my family, my studies so excited that I could not concentrate at work or suffer tyrants my work ethic. There is also the fact mentioned earlier that sabotaged my chances for X Factor, and although I later ** earn, I'm still caught in the housework, as usual, to find employment by accident and like exactly the most harmful and increase motivation little desperate. These are tangible things cause and effect, and every problem has a solution, so I think there are a lot of things unsaid and unhand ideas that could prevent people from falling into their practices and stress frustration guess than I. I, it is possible to resume rational methods, and press on obstacles to achieving additional height. Man, in spite of all people and promote events that slide down into depression and keep hold is necessary to break down when you try to hope. Know today how upset actually were idealists in the past, long since abandoned?

Cut the different elements - self-improvement, mental health, relationships - it may seem that you need to catch up in the specialties of other people, but I think everything can be integrated explicitly, when it is to be an effective. The aspect of personal development focuses exclusively utilized, original, and thus to maximize methods themselves, either in self-education, teaching or another. The issue of mental health issues such as the restoration of a complete way of life, or prevention of anger, her hands on you. Even things like relationships are important to consider, because people can help you on your way, good luck, you can prevent or bring back into poverty if you do not know how to judge and to act accordingly, it is better to think, if you want to keep the good people of good faith, and relationships with others outside.

My motivation for this is not just my own way through self-discovery and realization, and see how far I can, but you also push other people on your street. I want to help the creation of larger engines in the world, the rare and precious in the world, and, more importantly, to help them to protect themselves, such as learning how to deal with a decade of failure or accession firearms. despite a family of harassment Our world would be a much better place if announced as strong as even great men to be great - clean out "lucky" myth - and when the best have learned in society to protect itself from being destroyed even in a society that wants to to resign because of envy.

Of course, my blog is mainly psychological and process principles, it would be impossible for me to branch out everywhere. I would not be able, for example, tell an athlete what the best diet regiment would be targets, but I think I would be able to use the tools of thought they might be thinking and force you to discover for yourself, I train and I have my own goals perfect body, even if you do not want to be a professional. I think it would be possible to avoid revision, and do psychologically rich enough epistemological and philosophical analysis that a person is able to perceive that. On his own life, whatever be its radically my

Many of my personal strengths come into play here. Writing is one of my strengths, and something to feed that all my life, so why not try to make money? I do, and writes about the practice of self-improvement, especially in self-test like putting an ice bath or ice math exercises foods. (Self-experimentation is a feature, too.) In terms of ideas, I think I have a good skill bridges between abstract and concrete below, and I think people have problems not being able to draw a line to draw. "Want [all] [our] potential." For example, in my last job was a slogan on the wall that says use In one way or another with a maximum economic value, capacity or means other, but do not give specific concrete, making it an abstraction that does not really help people depends define specific actions around them. I would be able to study such a thing and not the state, which includes, to exercise headaches, until you can not stand, and so on, really reach their full potential.

Although I must add to this list later, I think all that is good in five parts or Spanish, all integrated into the theme of a person to be your best divided:


1). Detailing original, unique methods not unheard and under-utilized self-improvement.

As I said earlier, the main engines are rare, because decisions are rare. Thomas Edison, for example, was not lucky enough to be born with a big brain, consciousness, he studied exhausted their areas of interest, and it is a fact that few people who choose to study intensively, especially when outside of school so there is a herd of Thomas Edison today.

But there are people who never heard of methods that are not busy or simply not yet invented. I, for example, a stop watch was contributed to helping me become one of the best people in a restaurant to be. I also invented new methods, such as the so-called "conscious thinking" is an original way, to cultivate his intelligence in almost all situations.

Moreover, these methods are discussed, polished, built and improved, and is measured in practice, will be more in a position to start taking advantage of its size. You can do anything if you do not know what to do!

2). Construction easy reference these techniques.

What are the "conceptual exercises"? What is the "conscious mind"? In the past, overcome the script uses, to drive me crazy to imagine a special practice in my life and then feel compelled to reexplain constantly, and I also feel that the treasures in the time it lost no fixed abode for the description, especially as more and more sophisticated. How about an encyclopedia, then? Many websites handy dandy either with specific information or just a collection of links that? It easier for a person, in particular, research methodology, how does my "conscious thought," if you think curiosity It would be the information more accessible and available, especially for new players who can go in the middle of a refinement of a 2 year old child, overcoming technical.

3) Stories, videos and / or pictures of inspiration that people succeed despite the massive rejection, or to overcome a difficulty that the payment of the debt, the correction of an injury, and so on.

One thing that I've learned in the last few weeks, is that the most inspiring, which is stronger in action is to witness accounts of real success in the world.

For example, a few weeks ago I noticed a viral video that tells the story of a man who has been diagnosed, paralyzed for life told. He thought he would never use of his legs. Well, what I thought otherwise, and he had tried a lot of clips of him desperate to get the use of his legs again, as. An attempt to do a handstand and fall and stumble again The video ends with him running on the screen after you successfully again. The use of his legs after a long battle

Many people said they were very impressed by the same number of moves to admit that I cried. Why is that? Because human life is a statement about the success in the world.

As another example, once I found a thread of art - I can not find, unfortunately - if a man devoted to publish his works, * improve * all days in an intensive effort in the art. He was a fan at first, but God was so committed that actually followed this custom publishing for years, and people have to do to actually improve the painting by painting, to really become an expert and in his art- Class. People need to see every step in self-improvement, and congratulated him after reading mass is no longer a teacher.

In my own life, I realized that I can no longer move to be able to people through my actions. Whenever I about doing math exercises to improve my brain talking, others went before, and did so. When he spoke to talk about ice baths, convinced me not want to try other people, and even cold showers. He was totally missing my intention to persuade them to live differently, but I managed to do without their knowledge.

Heroes of Art is a source of fuel, but the heroes live, what really motivated to do something with their lives. I had an open place for people, their stories, videos or anything submit adversity overcome, if, as the paralytic, or step by step how to master acquired valuable skill that the artist has done. This is what is driving people to look for the size of his life, like how everyday success story of Apple posts of people getting healthy food in Paleo Mark, I want success stories published people who are showing us as people, people in movement towards self-realization is possible, and there are very real methods adopted and can practice in.

4) analyzing the mental health in the struggle against failure and long-term stress.

Well, I'm not a psychologist mind. No license, no title, nothing. Which brings me to this table is no medical legal advice, but only my own thinking and self-experimentation. In general, my recommendation would still controversial, to write such things, singing, or whatever, it is recommended not drugs.

Main engines are in the choices they make, are rare for most all available, how to study in order to maximize their intelligence, but very few of them go that route. Even with all the forces occupy less common mental obstacles. First comprehensive study, are good ways to boost your brain again, do not start loosening and rear energy expenditure Buck? Or if people do not buy your product or service, how? Effective against the frustration that is inherent, so you're not tempted to throw in the towel

I will always claim not addressed in the answers and advice. Sometimes a song is only a matter of time, and the identification of the problem and to ask the right questions can often solve a major step in, especially in the provision of cable-reader.

Although more possible solutions are cast - especially caused by and reported their findings - the more people to be able to maintain a lifestyle and how intense work to ensure effective, that there is a life of progress, instead of burnout and provides training. My conscious thought, for example, is so intense that it is incredibly stressful, so it's difficult to keep for more than a few hours per day. How effective recharge, so that you can return to further forward with it?

"It is difficult and is not an engine, but also know how to stay on despite demand for energy.

5) Analyze how to deal with relationships, if the good people in life who comply with the bad, or to deal with bullying.

As I said, people like to add the ability for the better, should our how to prevent it, or we go to the misery. For someone to be driving machine is particularly important because without precise knowledge of the ways of doing things with people can be very confusing, especially when it comes to people trying to actively intimidated by envy.

This is a touchy subject for me, because the people. Been the main obstacle to my success Not physically, but does not know what suffered in situations that have to do in.

For example, I left the university to become an autodidact. I lost faith in the education system, especially since it seemed delayed irrational and utterly failed to teach something well, it was time to take matters into their own hands. However, my grandmother seriously doubted my ability to do this - or even to tell the truth when he said that I was a teacher said - and strong with myself activities disturbed. Later he admitted that he was really smart, but they mingled so much that I had to give up my studies, because I could not concentrate, it ruins the effort.

Even in my first job in Texas colleagues deliberately trying to make me unhappy, the harder he worked. I was the only industry that was really interested in the field of restoration, so I stand out in a way that was uncomfortable for them, or I could work harder. Creating corporate self-improvement I'm harassing the people around me (as a partner in the plate and almost violent, or a food broker, started their course in my opinion), looking more work dumped on me servile, capture interesting work, and so on. He killed my work ethic and pushed me slightly nervous, not looking forward to preach or to harass these people to change: I take care of my own business, but he could not his envious fell to me to solve my nerves. It really damaged my work ethic and it was difficult for me, since passionate about the hospitality industry.

In addition, I am alone: ​​Only a few people around me that I care and deep dedications shares. How do you respond to that? A lifestyle dedicated to personal growth, how can I better integrate health and socialization take time for relationships? These are important questions for those who seek the size, whether to fight the loneliness and hatred.

As an extension, it is also the. From the question of how a negative history Year after year, can leave traces of negative events in a person, then how principles can be used to scan the past and avoid bad red are in you? Recently, I have not lost my job due to the elastic limit to be able to move after. Almost three years working in the restaurant business

Yes, a lot of this information offers me things about my own life, the logic of number three, followed by inspiring people to visit a great success. My problems are real answers - some already filtered - and if I prove to the reader that I have my own to overcome adversity, it is even more fuel for the people to overcome their own.

I currently have no intention to play regiment, when I was going through personal improvement, a psychological point of view, or send an outstanding track record, but I think a post Monday-Wednesday-Friday for the moment and but I am. still taking into account the types of sites that would be created as an encyclopedia, revelations (so you will not be prosecuted) and contact forms

Part of the money comes from Amazon Associates, Google Ads and Paypal tip jar. It is the latter who are hoping to maximize my income in order to convince people to pay me for the value they add to your life, maybe convince them to overcome the risk of changing the lives or how to deal with bullying or a story that changed his professional point of view. But from what I added value to your life. Perhaps it will be some other monetization methods, but my idea is always of utmost importance, and I am not going to think about "What to get the items that I most reward?" , But "what items I like to write more, and the best value?" Quoting Mary Kay: Opt for something you would also do nothing and someone will pay for it. My satisfaction with the content in the first place.

Criteria that define the essence of your brand

Your brand is because you are, you want to be, and to you. People Your brand is your promise to your customers. Your brand tells them what they expect from you and what differentiates your offering from the competition. Marketable Brand is a combination of elements that create the confidence and trigger management actions. Competitive Brand is a springboard, jump Ltzrcimim potential buyers and prevention opportunities to learn more about how creativity can be used. If the confidence of buyers Vy demonstrate their faith by their checkbooks.

My friend, max, who has consulted on a part time basis for all kind of entrepreneurs. He is a former director of the agency, regularly focus on start-up assistance by eliminating the problems of marketing so that you can focus on what they do best and deliver their unique value. Brian believes that the market value of the trust because the transaction is identified with the owner behind him. "As the leader of your brand can choose what others think of you and your brand," he said. "This is the essence of who you are and what you offer. Includes all products and services. SA despite what motivates you to speak at the meetings and a business lunch, with why" working to develop a brand at all, to think like a logo. Think of it as a control of the scene that contains the essence of what fits your business.

As we have seen, I believe that entrepreneurs can seek professional help at a time, and build your brand, add the calendar of things, do not try to create a bubble. Despite the boldness or experience design their marketing, branding is an extension of yourself, and the harsh reality is that very close to your company effectively eliminate all means developing that a business company or how it is perceived by potential buyers. Find a trusted colleague or trained to be a sounding board, or help you formulate some of the finer points of your brand. Or to follow someone to help get through the process, or with the agreement of experts and help fill in the gaps (or press the reset button).

I do not know "type of brand," but he was suspended for the operation - the creative brands on a regular basis, and I can say that the isolated efforts of conversion often show their true face, and has some very graphic sexy nothing to do with it. Get back. Believe me.

When you talk about sex, I mean backup - Lume Tlor is an expert in unique brand strategy in Victoria, British Columbia. He began his sole proprietorship, five in 2005 (@ five graphics) and serves some of my clients, so I know their job very well. This guy knows logo. Its target group is to build a business company, and to develop "product brand" are needs new. Adoption instead of the term "logo" because it helps to understand the customer point of the logo in the structure of your brand and your business, and that meets the very specific needs. It clients through the process of developing a brand name product to be developed as one of many elements of the right unique brand strategy.

The essence of the brand, a word that almost everything and much of what she has to do. One of the most important assets of a company, you must be very careful and know-how. Word is ideal. Maybe two. More than two words to show some confusion, lack of impact. Mark (such as design) offers a unique experience, a lack of focus is clear, I do not know what problem weakens the message, has managed to combine the brands intangible assets. It is true, thinks that if we think of Harley Davidson that the independence and freedom, Nespresso customers well with exclusive or IKEA with a good design. Related news on our brand with a tangible value clearly differentiate us from our competitors.

Success of the brand has all the elements that make up the package coherent creative effort that explains the reason for what works and serves as a catalyst for action:
• Purpose: Who are your customers what they want and the right?
• Values: What is most important to you and how they affect your business?
• Objectives: How to know if you can, or if your customers happy?
• Uniqueness: How are they different from other providers? Is your (USP) Unique Selling Proposition clearly defined? (For more information on USPS, see Chapter 2, "Planning for success.")
• Style: Which words occur? Is it casual, informal discussions, friendly, urban action or intention?
• Name: What is your legal name? As can be seen, the market wants?
• Tag Line: If you can communicate your most important benefit evoke a word?
• Logo: Can not create a graphic element played underwriting business and attracts your eyes?
• Visual: What images, colors, styles, fonts, and beauty treatments will help you get the trust of your customers?

Well designed is not the brand of the business that you do.

One of the everyday world of decisions, transactions, failures and plates - the brand is the same. These trade names, logos, visual processing, offers words of the state, and the voice and the tone in which they are transported. When these elements will relate to the need or a potential buyer initiated the contact. Want to be as smart as creative with their branding efforts, is the toughest challenge to simply stay away from a purchase decision possible. As you know, you can make your USP apart. A strong brand removes barriers and creates opportunities to enhance the legacy of his work, and helps clients focus on the essentials: their creativity and their ability to fulfill their promise.

this is the Power of concentration cortex


Meditation and consciousness: the words conjure up images of yoga retreats and Buddhist monks. But maybe they should make a very different picture: a man hunting hat, smoking one elbow, Mr. Sherlock Holmes himself. Great detective literature in the world is someone who knows the value of concentration, "pull your brain out of action", as Dr. Watson expressed. Unitasker is the ultimate in multitasking.


Most times, when a new case indicates, Holmes just sitting in his leather chair, close your eyes and fingers to build long arms of attitude for quiet. It may be the most active in the world is there. Considered thinking the same approach as cognitive psychologists when they want to say attention.

Although the term has its roots in ancient Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese traditions in terms of experimental psychology, the emphasis is less on spirituality and concentration of information: the ability to calm the mind, the present attention, and talking are coming away refuse. Court returns psychologist Alan Nigeria, who proved in 1970 that awareness can lead to improved cognitive function and indices of vital signs, including older people to work.

Now we learn that the benefits can continue thinking cheaper than at the time Professor of Nigeria. Even in small doses, attention to significant changes in the way we think and feel -. And it makes the basic neural level

In 2011, researchers showed by the University of Wisconsin daily meditation of the brain's frontal lobe activity pattern changes associated with what cognitive scientists call a positive approach focuses on emotional situations - situations that make us more likely to participate in the world rather than retreat.

Participants are invited to relax with eyes closed, concentrating on breathing and recognition and resolve the random thoughts that come up. So they had the opportunity, nine sessions of 30 minutes of meditation will receive training five weeks. Examination a second time, activity patterns of neurons was a radical change front left asymmetry - despite his job and training 16.5 minutes per day.

Just five minutes a day of intensive Holmes and inactivity as your outlook is more pleasant to be taken - but it seems especially enjoy Holmes himself, what with his attacks of melancholy and forget flirting with a solution of 7 percent. Quick survey shows that paradox is an illusion: Holmes is pressed when there is no purpose in his spirit. Enter your project, and the balance is restored.

However attention on improving emotional regulation. Carefully Exercise can also help this scourge of modern life: multitasking. Of course, we want to believe that our attention is endless, but it is not. Multitasking is a persistent myth. What she actually does is to focus our attention rapidly from one task to another. Two bad things happen as a result. Do not put much attention on one thing, and the quality of our attention. If we are aware of some of this attention disappears ease, as if of their own accord.

In 2012, researchers investigated by a team from the University of Washington led the meditation training effects of multitasking real environment. We asked a group of human resource professionals involved in this type of planning was usually done at the same time. Each participant is a person's office with a laptop and cell phone, and asked to complete various typical tasks: the cyclical nature of some meetings and conference looking for wizards, write a note on the subject of creation, and so on. The information required to perform these tasks? Delivered as it should be: e-mail, instant messaging, telephone and person. The list must be completed in 20 minutes or less.

After all free multitasking, participants were divided into three groups: one was a meditation course of eight weeks (2 hours per week) related, and another group not taking took at first, but later, and the last group took a relaxation of the body of eight weeks. Each given a second round madly.

Participants were improved only received training in mind. Not only reported less negative emotions at the end of the mission, but his concentration has improved significantly. They can not resist and switching between tasks remain rare. While not all the time spent on different tasks than other groups, spent more effectively. They spent an average of slightly more than 40 "missions" Loneliness - behaviors trial set start and end time - about 36 seconds to spend on the average rates of 48-50 tasks attempted Unlike other groups - with an average of only 30 seconds spent each activity. He remembered very well what she is doing better than other study participants.

Benefits of brain training camp are not only behavior, but physically. In recent years, attention proven to improve attention network connectivity between regions of the brain and the front and medial treatment - changes that will save us a distraction. Attention, in other words, to be able to communicate our supply chains better and with less interference, they will do it.

In sleep in 2012 at Emory University that meditation was associated with increased connectivity enhanced the prefrontal cortex and dorsolateral, a brain region involved in attention and memory monitoring and connection insula right, an area in which, as we have feelings and thoughts of our own control, and is considered an important point relating to the two major networks in the field of health, standard and executive used.

Not only do they. Greater connectivity can switch between tasks and awaits to be our own health, but also reflects the more efficient management of all our resources, limited attention

Trains the brain even been shown to affect default brain network - the network of connections that are active when we are called sleep mode - with regular meditation higher functional connectivity idle and better connectivity in general. After a dose of vigilance, network standard approach is constant information of our inner states, and better ability to control the environment.

These effects are important: the center of attention is the ability of attention. This is exactly what Holmes was still touching fingers or breathing at the end of a thin layer of clouds of smoke. It focuses on one element. And somehow, despite the apparent calm activity occurs again and again, energy long before his countryman. Time, Detective Ben Mac all the cities in search of a missing cyclist in the "Valley of Fear" tour, Holmes solves the crime, all without leaving the room where the murder was s. That's all for attention. It seems slow, but actually gives you the resources you need to speed up their thinking.

The difference between Holmes and Watson is the actual fact. Caution is ready, it's true - but it is also capable of becoming. Change our methods intently thinking more like Holmes, who can build characteristics of nerve cells, is better able to deal with infinitely connected with Htzrcimim diverse modern world endless multitasking. And even if we did not, in the past, attention can be surprised how quickly the obvious benefits.

Until recently, 20 were considered to be the point of me wiring of the brain was almost perfect. But new evidence suggests that not only do you learn advanced age, but the structure of our brains can continue to change and grow. In 2006, a team of psychologists has shown that neural activation patterns of the elderly (especially activation in the prefrontal cortex), which started much younger blue after five sessions of looking at working control of attention. Brains to coordinate multiple tasks more efficiently - and advantage in unskilled labor, which means that it was a symptom of the general improvement offer.

Similar changes were observed in the default network (brain activity at rest) observed. In 2012, a researcher at Ohio State University showed that elderly people who received higher scores increased alertness scales default network connectivity, particularly in two important centers for information from the brain. And although we know that this kind of increased connectivity is a very good thing, there are more of these results. Specific areas that show the attention to cross-platform connectivity also known pathophysiology of AD.

Effects are tempting. Attention to preventive effect: it can strengthen the areas that are sensitive to cognitive impairment. When we learn unitask think more in line with the individual approach of Holmes, we can expect our ability. We can invest in future spacecraft mind - no matter what our age.
