EARLY RISERS

Those who rise early cart the cause of the day

This is a title those who procrastinate will never clinch. If you roll on your bed for the first few minutes of your consciousness, another person gets to decide how your day looks like. Take the case of a family living together. Someone wakes first and makes breakfast. Others wake to a prepared table. It is either you take what you are offered or go hungry! Fast thinkers act on something close to impulse.

They have an advantage: their ideas don’t die. Someone who thoroughly scrutinizes his ideas is susceptible to giving up on some of his ideas. Fast thinkers don’t have that luxury. They lack finesse but are full of motivation. They are more concerned, first, about bringing their child to birth then they think of how to care for the child.

Some people claim that the firsts are not usually the bests. That is absolutely true. But who is talking about being the best? I was talking about ground breakers. The reason they can’t be the best is because others developed on their example. The spicy thing about being the first is that you set the minimum standard!

Fast thinkers don’t rule the world. Best thinkers do. But fast thinkers give the world something to think about. That sounds more like a king-maker rather than the king himself. Best thinkers usually take their time analyzing each and every detail of their thoughts. They consider problems, alternatives, profit marginalization and all the technicalities involved in the business.

Fast thinkers generate the ideas; they take all the glory of the inventor. They take the monopoly even if it is for a minute. There is a sense of fulfillment in being a fast thinker. I love the legendary quote that says do not be afraid of those who dream at night, but of those who dream in broad day light for their eyes are open to live their very dream. How about those rise very early so they don’t forget their dreams!

THE BRAIN, OUR MEMORY, A WONDER!

...THE BRAIN
Without boring you with the anatomy and complexities of the brain, I will as much as possible want to highlight the uniqueness of the human brain and its operations. It’s indeed a wonder.
From research, we have facts that indicate that only about 10-20% of the brain is put to use! That indicates that every invention, every technology that we see today only results from the little portion of the brain we have put to use. The Internet, Artificial Intelligence, Literature and Architecture masterpieces, Scientific Breakthroughs, Electronics, Engineering, Management Principles; all these has been as a result of that little portion of the brain. I can go on to mention all fields of study and professions and still maintain my point of discussion.
This is not to make you use the entire mass of your brain, however it is to make you use considerably more than what you’ve been using.
The story is told of a young lawyer who was dismissed from work because her boss feared she was not ordinary. They couldn’t imagine a normal person could memorise long legal facts and reproduce them with astounding accuracy. This ushers us into talking about the memory.
...OUR MEMORY
The memory is in its simplest form defined as the storage capacity of the brain. The difference in the structure of individual brains is not so pronounced. Conversely, the memory capacity seems to differ from one person to the other. We will not deal with the causes of this disparity, however, we will make mention of some things that might affect it.
• Background and Upbringing
• Exposure and Resources
• Habit and Mindset
BACKGROUND AND UPBRINGING
• Environment
• Diet
• Acquaintances
• Parentage
• Peer influence
EXPOSURE AND RESOURCES
• Types of materials Exposed to
• Volume of materials Exposed to

HABIT AND MINDSET
• Study habits
• Opinions
I will however want to deal with opinions here. Other factors will be considered in subsequent blogs. Opinions are basically one’s perspective of events, things, ideas and ideologies. Someone who says ‘I can learn anything in as much as it is written in a book and I can gain access to it.’ will always perform better than the person who says ‘Some things are not meant for me.’ This is the point I want to drive home. This goes beyond positive confession and hopeful professions. It is our mind set- the result we do not proclaim but expect!
... A WONDER
Memory comes by learning and relearning. How about the things you have not seen before and are created in your mind? Or maybe even the things you have seen briefly and so suddenly you discover a deep insight to it. This is a wonder! This is one of the functions of the brain- stretching ideas.
With this I bid you welcome to beinspired !
