Brain- A problem solving machine

 



The swishy, sticky matter, the top floor the inner narrator the reason you could even understand what I write !!! yeah that’s right I am talking about our brains… well it was evident enough when you read the title but….

We all have this guy sitting up there telling us to wake up do the routine, scroll through the feed , stalk the crush, click on the blog, watch another episode and dream this dream. Something we want to do some that we have to, we seldom question this impulse and follow it like a plant in sun.

Our brains have this wonderful capacity to amplify the feeling, and also to diminish it just by the thought of it, ever felt you could eat more when you were eating your favourite dish? Similarly see yourself eating a dish you hate! The brain not only tells you what to do but also it listens to you. For eg. Remember when you were little and you got hurt, one of the parent would do all they could to take your mind off it! And suddenly a few minutes later the pain would leave and you were back to playing on the field.

Your brain for the most part, guides your story, tells you things you already know… on repeat! As if you are telling your story to someone , but you know very well, there’s no one listening, and the person your telling this is the one living it!

Anyways! My point is don’t let the little guy make all the decisions , he over analyses everything and frankly we were not designed for it. Evolution favoured the quick thinker, the action taker. However, I am not advocating you become a daredevil!

Just stop the chatter and see in clear light the brain will find what its looking for. The brain is the problem solving machine it look forward to solving the complex mysteries life throws at us. Probably this explains why we love the suspense so much, but tbh the life is not scripted and there is no interval so, use the time you have solve the problem you already have, ergo don’t go out there creating problems for yourself! The real teacher is always your own mind.

Eliminate the noise and see the situation clearly, objectively, sometimes emotionally, otherwise rationally and generally empathetically.

The solution to your problem is the one you already know.

EXAMS

  Exams were invented/discovered to analyse and improve the student function and to improve his ability to face the world. Exams were a tool for the teachers to evaluate the the students understand the blindspots and fill them. In ancient times the students left their homes and lived with their teachers , rishis and yogis would come to their houses and select their pupils and take them to train the as per their requirements. These trainings would consist of reading of vedas and purans, reciting the mantras and others spiritual practices. Focus was to create a well rounded individual who can face the array of difficulties and challenges life throughs at us. Students were also taught to defend themselves, cook, farm and take care of cattle and other domestic animals. Apart from that one teacher only had 2-5 students at his attention.

The Scholar Scoundrel

Over the years of being an average student I always wondered how and what is it that the brilliant students do that sets them apart from the crowd, what magic potion they drink and what notes they make, just like so many of us I've been in the rut of asking the scholars for their notes, much to my chagrin I didn't really see any substantial differences except they were much more organized and diverse than most of the average student's. I saw some of them cramming text books, some referred foreign authors, others were after teachers for...you know why! But still I knew there is something they did differently that made the epiphany. Days past and I forgot about it, everyone does...until the next exam, then again studying late night with my friends I thought "how the hell these scholars do it!!", I mean the time me and my friends are mugging up answers and teaching each other concepts we don't fully understand, bantering over stuff we could have done, and wh...
