Otak Yang Lesu

Apa akan jadi sekiranya enjin kereta dibiarkan dengan lama tanpa dimulakan?
Ia akan semput, susah nak start dan adakalanya rosak.

Begitu juga dengan otak kita. Mungkin ramai yang menyangka, otak kita kalau selalu digunakan, kalau selalu berfikir, ia akan rosakatau menjadi lesu kerana terlalu banyak berfikir.

Sebenarnya, selalunya otak kita akan menjadi lebih efisyen dan lebih sihat apabila lebih banyak kita berfikir. Disini juga sebahagian daripada cara menggerakkan momentum untuk terus berjaya. Banyakkan berfikir tentang idea baru, cara menjadi lebih kreatif dalam pelajaran, cara bersaing, strategi belajar yang baru, cara mendapatkan ilmu dan sebagainya.

Apa yang patut anda lakukan adalah, membawa buku nota kecil ( macam 555 ) dan pen ke mana sahaja.

Dapat sahaja idea, cepat - cepat tulis. Kadang - kadang, sehari, bermacam - macam idea yang kita dapat.

Lebih banyak anda berfikir, lebih efisyen otak anda. Otak yang efisyen akan memberi anda idea - idea yang lebih bernas yang tidak pernah anda fikirkan.
