The potential of the human brain is phenomenal, and Tony Buzan has been a pioneer in researching that potential and helping people learn how to make the most of their brainpower. The Mind Map Book is his most important and comprehensive book on the subject. It offers exciting new ways of using and improving memory, concentration, and creativity in planning and structuring thought on all levels, in order to accelerate the ability to learn, remember, and record information.

The road to excellence is paved by those who are decisive in their thinking. Your ability to make sound decisions can be one of the most life-enhancing skills you can ever possess. Good decision making empowers your future and leads you closer to your goals. Think of it this way: Your life is a reflection of the decisions you’ve made. The aspects of your life that are going well can be traced to good decisions you’ve opted for somewhere along the line. The opposite can be said for the areas that are problematic or lacking; these reflect poor decisions made.

It’s easy to seriously underestimate how much time you should dedicate to college courses. Don’t assume that online courses can be completed in less time than traditional classroom instruction. After all, you can work at your own pace and you have a high speed Internet connection, right? Wrong, don’t assume that online courses will be any easier than classroom instruction. You should schedule at least as much time for your online classes as for traditional classes. On the other hand, online courses can also save you a lot of valuable time.

Creativityr We usually associate creativity with the arts, with painting, sculpture, drama and literature but creativity is one of the most important forces in business.

If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your business and your life."r

How To Study And Improve Learning The cognitive techniques described below provide a study plan based on evidence, not myth. Follow this plan and you will improve your study skills, increase your memory and perform better in school and university. 1. Study In Multiple Locations. The brain makes associations between what it is studying and the background sensations it has at the time of study. Study at home, in the library, at school. Multiple associations give more neural scaffolding and this boosts memory.

Your Brain is Plasticr Neuroplasticity is the hot new topic in neuroscience. Many recent studies using the new MRI scanners have shown that the human brain is plastic, that it reacts to new stimuli by building new neural pathways. A good way to think of plasticity is to consider modeling clay. When a coin is pressed into the clay it leaves an imprint. When a thought occurs in a human brain it also leaves an imprint. After a while a barrage of similar thoughts leaves a lasting imprint.r

Two words caught my attention as I was reading the other day- 'DECIDE' and 'INACTION'. I got to thinking... Life is full of choices. Someone has suggested that what we are today is the sum total of the choices we have made. Whether we agree or not, there is one choice demanded of us that profoundly affects the course of our life. This choice shapes our character. It affects the level of stress we deal with each day. This choice either keeps us moving forward or buries us in confusion and indifference.
