Abraham Asked “How Did You Develop Your Brain To This Level?”.
Well, I’ll humbly take that as a compliment Abraham. Yes, I am obsessed with Human Brain Development. In fact, the logo of Transhuman Coin, a cryptocurrency I founded is the Brain 🧠. That’s how obsessed I’ve been with the Human Brain - starting with my brain.
First of all, my obsession with my brain started from a dehumanising encounter in Primary 2. I was a child and couldn’t pronounce my name. My Primary 2 teacher told me I was too dull bla bla bla hence I couldn’t pronounce my name. Unknown to her, I had a speech impairment and stammered like Moses of the Bible. I owe my motivation to develop my brain to that Primary 2 teacher because it was because of her that I made a decision to harness the potential of my brain cells and stretch it beyond limits.
At that young age, I started doing ONLY DIFFICULT MENTAL EXERCISES. By the time I was in Primary 4, I was asked to teach maths to Primary 6 students.
Later in life, I learnt that the brain is just like a muscle - everyone has it but only those who exercise it develop it.
If you are one of those who can’t read long posts , you are teaching your brain to only do what is easy.
Just as you exercise the muscle by lifting heavy weights, you also exercise the brain by solving DIFFICULT Problems. I took the path of DIFFICULTY in life.
I left home as a teenager because Home was TOO COMFORTABLE - ask Pastor Oriaku. We ran away from comfort - food was always available at home. I needed to feel the pain of starvation. A lot of people don’t know what being broke does to the brain - it stimulates the brain to go into survival mode. In survival mode, you will become creative by force. This is why I encourage children of middle class parents to reject the comfort offered by their parents. Go to the streets and hustle for your future.
But remember, there’s a time you must exit the survival mode and enter the abundance management mode. The survival mode mindset can limit your ability to function in the abundance management era. This is a topic for another day.
If you want to develop your brain, find a project that seems impossible and make it your life’s project. Prolonging human life starting with my life by delaying cellular aging is my life project. Diamandis calls it MTP. What’s your own MTP? What’s the most difficult problem you want to solve using your brain?
Remember, the brain is just like a muscle. The more you lift heavy problems, the better it becomes.
Shortcuts are anti brain development. Avoid easy routes.
