What is the mind?
Everyone wants to be seen as an intelligent man. And we start with the most important issue. What is the mind and how it manifests itself?
Man differs from animals in that it has intelligence. Intelligence - the ability to achieve goals through self-transformation. In other words, when you want to achieve anything or want anything to get it working your intelligence. Intelligence determines how your desires are feasible and what you should do to fulfill them.
If the desire is easy to perform, for example, you want to drink, and standing next to a glass of water, then you take a glass and drink. Mind it does not need. Also, you do not need your mind when you brush your teeth, get dressed, close the door and perform any other stereotypical actions.
The mind is needed if there are any difficulties. For example, you want to go to her home, and suddenly discovered that they have forgotten the key, then turn on the mind here. Or she wants to buy something, but do not have enough money - the mind is activated again.
The mind - it's part of the intelligence that is needed to solve problems.
For the work of the mind requires certain conditions, which we will talk in detail below. But first, let's say about the common mistakes that most people do. When an intelligent man is one who remembers a lot of things, and so good at solving puzzles or wins in all sorts of quizzes.
People with a good memory may be smart, but can not be. The mind - the ability to solve problems. But learning objectives that address in the school, but the real problem. Those that occur in everyday life.
To understand, you're a smart man or not, you need to remember the first rule:
The result of intelligence - a change in the material world.
This means that it does not matter how much information you remember or what school you are able to solve the problem. It does not matter. What matters is how you live.
You are an intelligent man, if you can ensure yourself a decent life:
- you cheerful and energetic;
- eat properly and rest;
- watch your health;
- You have good relationships with others;
- you are surrounded by a technician, and so on.
Therefore, if you decide to develop your mental capacity, then there is a very simple criterion to determine, it turns out you have or not.
If your physical capabilities begin to grow. So you are really something to produce, increase your revenue, occupy a higher position, acquire new things, driving to new places, make new friends. This means that you really are getting smarter.
But often, people just realized something, believe that they have become smarter. For example, if you just read this book and understand it, the smarter you become. The mind is determined by your behavior.
How quickly distinguish intelligent behavior of stupid?
Take the simplest case. The man in the cold. For human comfortable ambient temperature - about 24 degrees. If the temperature starts to fall, he becomes uncomfortable. If it gets really cold, and then we can freeze.
So, the mind is the problem that when the temperature began to decrease, it is necessary to do something. Reading books and watching TV - it can and good, but they will not help to keep warm. Mind manifests itself in the moment when a person encounters a problem.
Smart person starts to do something, so that the temperature rose. There are many options, but they are all related to material actions:
- close a window;
- dress warmly;
- turn up the heat;
- make a bonfire;
- go to a warm place.
Moreover, in this situation mind easily measured in degrees. Celsius. The lower the temperature, the greater the intelligence needed to survive.
In the movie "Office Romance" song "There is no bad weather". It is right. There is no bad weather, there is a mismatch clothes. The mind is just determines what clothes need. Froze - blame yourself.
The colder it is, the more serious it is necessary to think. If you're an astronaut, then the spacewalk your mind have to cope with zero Kelvin. To do this, at least need to put on the suit.
You can, of course, to scream with all his strength: "Oh, frost, frost is not me... Frost" - and jump into an open space. But here's what to ask frost whatsoever sign of intelligence is not. Children's requests to Santa Claus is quite natural, but for no longer adult and intelligent people.
Therefore, an intelligent man can be called only that, as a result of which the action appears tangible result. Otherwise, there is no mind.
If you just read clever books and trying to talk intelligently, then you are not going any mental development in. You are engaged in self-deception.
Moreover, it starts a general biological law: if the body is not trained, it atrophies. Therefore, if you do not train your muscles, they become sluggish and flabby. Similarly, with your mind, if you do not develop, you grow foolish.
Check if you do not became stupid, you just according to this criterion. That is, if you somehow reduced the level of health, joy of life, income and so on, then you start to grow stupid.
An indirect sign of stupidity are complaints about the external circumstances. For example, if you are getting less money, and you complain to the crisis. This is a clear sign of stupidity, because the mind is just switched on in the event of a problem. The crisis - it is a problem, so you need to include the mind to figure out how to make money in the crisis.
Rate your mind very easily. Look around you:
Everything that surrounds you - a reflection of your mind.
How smart you have to be?
The question arises, how smart you have to be. The more complicated your life, so you have to be smarter. And in general, how difficult life?
Perhaps I disappoint you, but life is really complicated. That's why you have a mind to deal with life's problems. If you choose them little or no you decide that your mind is not developed.
Now I will please you. Um, like any organ in the body, can be developed. So if you now something in your life is not going well, it is quite possible to develop your mind and life to establish. How to do it?
A chance for the development of the mind gives some vital problem. By itself, the problem says nothing about your mind. For example, if you are fired, you can not say you are intelligent or not. Because you have just emerged some difficult situation. The reason may be you did not depend on the crisis, the company went bankrupt, downsizing and so on.
But after a while it is already possible to accurately assess your mind on the results that you get. If you have found a job with the same or a higher level of income, with the mind you are all right.
If you find a good job, or at least did not find any, it says that you have a weak mind.
Everything in nature is aimed at growth and development. Since the mind is the same. A person wants to feel every day in itself something new, to grow spiritually, to conquer new heights. Life challenges to help in this. The more problems you have there in your life, the more your mind will develop faster.
Develop mental abilities - it's natural, easy and enjoyable. Only need to really look at yourself and realize umneet you or not.
You all right, if:
- Do you feel that your life is subject to the steering wheel and the steering wheel in your hands. When you want to - you press on the gas, when you want - to stop and rest on the grass.
- You can have an opinion, and even safe to say it. And you do not really touching, if the other opinions of others. You do not need urgently to persuade fellow erred. A group of friends. All erring comrades.
- In your life there are no people, the presence of which you have to endure. And if they come, then very quickly you get them chafing at the nearest stop. After all, you are not with them on the way.
- You know that at any moment can turn off the road, and even if he wanted to go in the opposite direction. The opinions of others about your route you do not particularly interesting, and for a long time to listen to it you will not.
Summarize:
If you have a material result, you are a smart man. If you do not have tangible results, you silly man.
From this investigation:
In order to develop the mental faculties, it is necessary to increase the material result of your actions.
And now the answer to the main question: how to still become smart? There is only one way. Because the mind is designed to solve life's problems, to train your mind you should start solve your problems in life.
I stress, problems in your life. Not learning objectives, not made-up problems, are not matters football team, namely their life problems. Those faced every day.
Here is a complete analogy with the training of the muscles. How to develop your biceps? Post a load on the biceps. How to develop the mind? Post a strain on the mind.
