Our minds are like high performance race engines. They
have the ability to take us anywhere we want to go at
amazing speed.
But sadly most of us haven't done the necessary
maintenance and tune ups to enable our minds to operate
efficiently.
There are three reasons this can happen.
1. Laziness. Some of us know what to do, but we're
either too lazy or lack the discipline to do what's
necessary to keep our minds at peak efficiency.

BEING CERTAIN
By
William Cottringer, Ph.D.
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." ~Philip K. Dick.
The other day my daughter Abby was given a question to answer by the instructor of her epistemology class as a high school senior.

I think this is the single most important question that could ever be asked of a high school or college student. I...

Functional brain magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brings exciting new insights into our understanding of how gifted thinkers think. The first thing you notice when you look at the fMRIs of gifted groups is that it looks like a 'brain on fire.' Bright red blazes of high metabolic activity burst out all over the scan. Each red patch represents millions of microcombustion events in which glucose is metabolized to provide fuel for the working brain. Gifted brains are remarkably intense and diffuse ...
