Did You Get Lucky?
I had a pretty good job after I graduated from college, many, many moons ago.
But then my job was being moved halfway across the world, and I wasn’t invited.
But because of some deal, I was given $10K to “learn” another career. Something to do with NAFTA.
I was both pleased and terrified. Pleased because I thought it was pretty cool I could study something and have the government pay for it. But pretty terrified because I hadn’t really “learned” anything in a long time.
I was pretty much doing the same stuff over and over again at work, even if it was for a high tech R and D lab.
So before I dove in to my new field, I decided I wanted to learn how learn. And I found some pretty cool stuff.
Learn How To Learn
Stuff like being able to learn the basics of new language in just a few months.
Stuff like how to re-wire your brain so you can see things in a different, much more resourceful way.
Stuff like how you can actually INCREASE your intelligence slowly, and permanently over time. All this time I’d thought it was set in stone.
There Is No Limit
Flash forward a few years, and I’d developed a MASSIVE appetite for new information. Instead of wasting time in front of the TV I found myself reading all kinds of non-fiction books, at least 2-3 a month, on all kinds of subjects that either terrified or bored me in school.
Self Generated Is Best
And the more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. The perspective I have now is a billion times different that when I was “forced” to change my way of thinking.
The truth about your brain is incredible. Most people don’t even come close to scratching the surface of what they are capable of.
You’ve Got Money Hidden In Your Brain
And in today’s economic climate, your brain, and how well you use it, WILL be your most precious asset in the years to come.
If you get started how, you’ll be able to handle ANYTHING the world throws your way.
And end up better off in the process.
