7 Small Things That Can Make You Smarter; No. 2 Is For The Genius. by Peritome: 7:24pm On Oct 24, 2020
7 SMALL THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU SMARTER


1. SPEND TIME WITH SOMEBODY SMARTER

As the old saying goes, “No matter how smart you are, there will always be somebody smarter than you.” Use this situation to your advantage. Hang out with somebody smarter, try to pick up their habits and their perception of different things. It helps you to broaden your mind and give a new take on things. When you spend time with smarter people, their attributes somewhat rub on you, and that can only be a good thing.


2. DO PROGRAMMING

If you want to train your brain to think logically and in patterns then you should do programming. It pushes your brain a lot towards the limit, and in return, you come out a much smarter person. You can think of programming as an advanced level of solving puzzles. There are a lot of free websites which can help you to learn to programme. Besides, a lot of jobs requires programming, so it looks good on your CV when you say you know how to do it.


3. READ A BOOK

No surprise about this. Reading books is a great source of information. As the old saying goes, “Knowledge is power,” and you can never have enough knowledge. When you are reading a book, it is also acting as a source of exercise for the brain as its taking in a good amount of information and most of the time you are trying to create a mental image of what’s happening. That’s a great form of stimulant there.


4. PLAY GAMES INSTEAD OF WATCHING TV

When you are watching a movie on the TV or any show, you are consuming a lot of information that is most of the time useless. Yes, it may be entertaining, but it has little or no use for you. However, if you engage yourself in video games, then you are stimulating your brain into something productive. Consider it as a fun workout for your brain since you are doing something that requires complete focus and action on your own. Now you have a legit excuse to play video games.


5. MID-DAY NAPS

We all used to hate the naps we had to take as babies, but these naps are vital for a fully grown adult. Taking a nap in the middle of the day is known to increase the efficiency of the human mind. It also refreshes the mind, thus allowing you to work even better and contain more knowledge. The best time to take a nap is around 3 PM, or you could simply take a nap after a workout session.


6. DRINKING GREEN TEA

Now, most people tend to prefer caffeine as a form of stimulant while working. While it’s a good thing, caffeine tends to make a person very anxious. Also, it causes you to stay up later on at night which hampers your sleep. It’s a good habit to drink green tea while working. Green tea, especially Matcha Tea, contains l-theanine which causes an increase in alpha brain waves. It is also known for making the human body relax without inducing drowsiness.


7. HYDRATING YOURSELF EARLY MORNING

The very first thing you should do after you wake up each morning is to drink two glasses of water. You and your body have been asleep for the whole night, and you wake up quite dehydrated. You need these glasses of water to keep your internal organs and yourself going. Studies have proven that a hydrated body helps you to perform mental tasks better. You wouldn’t want to carry on the rest of the day with your brain dehydrated now, would you?

If really you like it, that's good. Just make up your mind to hang in no matter what.

As a beginner, you start with the basics; HTML & CSS before entering boostrap, javascript, jquery, mysql, php, database, python & so on.

You're on the right path if really you wanna go into it.

Learn under a good tutor with patience. It demands practical extremely.

I was playing both for a while before I dumped PUBG, going back from CODM to PUBGM is like going back to Stone Age
I use ninja too majorly, it’s an underrated class, silent and deadly, and the ability to climb on roof
Asides ninja I like trickster, airborne and trapmaster sha
But I only pick that when I have another ninja as teammate

Lol, it's always so painful when I enter the match and see "selected by teammate" most times I leave the match in anger.



And pubg graphics are TERRIBLE compared to COD mobile graphics. Which is part of why I switched.

This guy, you have to learn other classes too na, but before you start game, from the team up menu, you can see the classes of your teammate, like when you join public group or friends invite you

You see ehn there are millions of reasons why COD is better than PUBG but the one reason I like PUBG is because of the physics , they used unreal engine so the physics are realistic, like driving on PUBG is better than driving on COD
And then again PUBG people too like money sha

Well you're right I do need to learn how to use other classes but the only other class I enjoy apart from ninja is airborne. I'm not really keen on the others.


And you're right about pubg liking money too much. You can't even get a reasonable skin without spending some money. It's only for the rich kids.

I used to argue with a roommate back then in school about which is more productive between playing games and watching movies. To me I think watching movies, just like reading books exposes you to a lot of information that you can't completely get from playing games which main aim is to entertain and for leisure. Apart from strategy games like chess, sudoku and scrabble that requires intense thinking, movies trumps it all. wink

You know why playing video games is better, watching movie is a passive way of entertainment, your brain is not doing anything, what's worse is when you watch stuffs like Zee world, you aren't learning anything but when you play games you are building up your brain, play games like Pubg or Clash of Clans for hours and be good at it, when you come out you'll start looking at things differently, you'll see yourself thinking alot and board games too. The day I finally know how to play Chess, I felt like I was on another level and my neighbours aren't up to my standards.
