How do you become a genius?
Top ways to become a
genius...
Everyone wants to know, "how do you become a genius?" It's a great question,
one that people have struggled with over the centuries. But in the
last 5-to-10 years particularly, we've started to get some
consistent answers.
Obviously, if you want to become a genius, you have
to train. It's just like if you want to become a football player, a
pilot, a fashion designer or a high school teacher, you have to
train. Training is the basis for all advancement. Evolving your
brain to genius levels is no different. You need to start learning
new skills and practicing them over and over.
If you learn to play golf, you start out learning
how to stand, how to hold the club, the correct way to swing... all
the fundamentals of golf. Then you get out there and practice,
always trying to improve on your previous performance. With genius
brain training, you learn new ways to think, how to access your
best thoughts, and how to increase and maintain your awareness,
perception and observation skills. Once you have learned those new
skills you need to put them to the test daily. Every day you seek
to be more creative, more insightful, more innovative and
productive in your thinking.
How do
you become a genius? Here's how:
1. Find a genius trainer, teacher or
coach
Whenever you want to learn something, like a sport, you first of
all seek out someone who can show you what to do and correct your
mistakes. Genius training is no different. People involved in the
fields of genius training,
include Tony Buzan, Edward de Bono, Win Wenger, Wily Walnut,
Michael Gelb and others. Allign yourself with a good coaching
program or someone who can train you in using your brain.
2. Learn better thinking skills and
tools
Geniuses tend to use specific processes to help them generate their
extraordinary ideas. For example, geniuses keep notebooks with them
at all times so they can captures their thoughts, ideas and
inspirations when they come to them. Start doing that and you will
soon start to feel cleverer when you see all your ideas stacking
up.
3. Use shortcuts
Time is limited so it makes sense to use shortcuts to get great
results. Geniuses figure out the most effective ways to do things
in the shortest time. Are you making the most of your time? If not,
start becoming time aware. Get organized in your life and mentally.
Set up systems that allow you to do your best work.
4. Focus on important things
Seriously evaluate your life. Decide what your most important
values are. Then organize your life around those values. Eliminate
activities that don't support your most important values. Steven
Covey came up with a really good system for being effective. He
says you have to learn the difference between important things and
urgent things. Important things will benefit you long term. Urgent
things only seem important in the moment -- but frequently won't
add any benefits to your life long term. Read 7 Habits Of
Highly Effective People for greater clarity.
5. Stimulate your brain
There are two types of brain stimulation. One type is passive. The
other is active. Passive brain stimulation could include such
things as listening to lectures, reading books, or even using a
light and sound brain machine. These things affect your brain but
cause limited and slow brain growth. For real brain growth and
genius development to occur, you need to be more actively involved.
There needs to be a feedback loop so that data comes in, is thought
about, and then expressed. This loop can repeat any number of times
and take the form of a spiral of progress, learning and growth.
6. Persistence triumphs over
brilliance
Remember Edison's quote that genius is 1% inspiration and 99%
perspiration? There are lots of clever people in the world. But
real genius is sometimes found in the most dogged and determined of
individuals who take simple ideas and run and run with them.
Sticking at something long enough to reap the harvests of it is a
greater genius than someone with a superfast mind who generates
lots of ideas but actually achieves very little.
7. Love more important than
logic
Real genius is demonstrated in compassion and humanist values. To
know oneself requires that you expand your awareness. Becoming more
perceptive enables you to see the commonality and universality of
human experience. What does that mean? It means don't become a cold
egghead! Learn to meditate and expand your consciousness. All
thought comes from the unconscious mind. To receive this
unconscious data stream at genius levels, you need to expand your
consciousness. It's like going from dial-up to broadband. When you
widen the pipe a lot more data, knowledge and wisdom can flow
through.
