This is the result of three different articles on the brain that I read recently:
- Workout. The brain is like the heart, it needs a good blood flux. Cognitive training is less effective than physical one on getting good results in brain testing. A balanced physical and cognitive training is even better, but that we know since we read Aristotle. Keep that blood pumping.
- The ability to enjoy or produce music is one of the last things that will go out of our minds. Pump up that volume.
- The brain handles numbers 1, 2, 3... sometimes 4, in a different manner than it does to the rest of numbers. Joseph Stalin was right when he said, "One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” For us to grasp what a million deaths represents, we might need to do some hard sums: 3 dead people, plus 3 dead people, plus 3 dead people, and keep on pumping those numbers until we get to one million.
