What Is the Best Brain Food?

By Niels Teunis What you eat makes a spectacular difference in the way your brain functions. It is critical that you always remember this: Your brain is part of your body. What you put in your body you put in your brain. If you eat junk you feed your brain junk. Have you noticed that all around the country schools are rising up? They fight the junk in the school cafeterias and are getting rid of junk fast food and sodas. Instead they feed the children whole foods, vegetables, whole grains etc. You know what happens to the children as a result? Test scores go up, School kids can sit still and... Pay attention. Who knew that children can sit still in school and concentrate. I say again: What you put into your body you put into your brain. You have to understand that this is great news. It means that you can greatly influence your brain simply by choosing the right food. So what is the best food for your brain? First of all stop feeding your brain junk. No...

How to Cure the Monday Morning Blues

By Gian Fiero It's Monday morning. In any office, in any given city, you can find an ample amount of people who are suffering from that dreaded condition called "Monday Morning Blues." The exact origin of this condition is unclear. Does is it start the moment we open our eyes on Monday morning? Or does it slowly rise up as night falls on Sunday? More importantly, how do we cure it? This article will offer some solutions and tips on how to cure your Monday Morning Blues so that you can become a more productive and happier worker. 1. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET Professor Charles Areni conducted research lead by a team of psychologists from the University of Sydney who collected mood information from hundreds of people, asking them for their worst and best morning and evening of the week and had this to say about the Monday Morning Blues: "The Monday morning blues and 'Thank God it's Friday attitude' are largely inaccurate theories of how moods vary...

Attitude & Aptitude - Keys to Your Success

By Gian Fiero It was motivational speaker Zig Ziglar who said, "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." Does the same still hold true today? More employers are reporting that college graduates are entering the workforce with an "attitude" of entitlement. They want the six figure salary, 4 weeks of vacation, and a corner office before they prove or accomplish anything. While it may seem like a preposterous notion to those who are descendants of a different culture, generation, or mindset, there are many people who have attitudes (not exclusively of entitlement) which do not engender good will. In fact, many of these, what I will call "counterproductive" attitudes, are based on a false sense of self-esteem. Self-esteem is defined as a confidence and satisfaction in oneself. The self-esteem is false when one confuses potential with credentials. If there are no credentials, we can not properly gage aptitude. But many colle...

The Difference Between Being Smart, Educated, and Intelligent

By Gian Fiero I've always been intrigued by the subject of intelligence. As a child my mother would refer to me as "smart," but I quickly noticed that all parents refer to their children as smart. In time I would discover that all children are not smart, just as all babies are not cute. If that were the case, we'd have a world full of beautiful, smart people - which we don't. Some of us are smart; but not as smart as we think, and others are smarter than they seem, which makes me wonder, how do we define smart? What makes one person smarter than another? When do "street smarts" matter more than "book smarts"? Can you be both smart and stupid? Is being smart more of a direct influence of genetics, or one's environment? Then there are the issues of education, intelligence and wisdom. What does it mean to be highly educated? What's the difference between being highly educated and highly intelligent? Does being highly educated...
