move forward, fly high

The higher you wanted to fly,
the painful it will be when you fall down.
So secure your wings and check the wind.
Learn the dance of the sky
to glide properly with the clouds
and the other birds.
Some birds are harmful
and some are just nice.
Just like life,
there are also tricks up way there,
there are birds that looks so harmless
but really attacks like an eagle
so-hungry attacking an innocent chick.
The pressure up there is not that nice
so bring a lot of your comfort-air with you.

The weather is not like a green house weather
that only provides the warmth you need
and the coolness to make you stay crisp.
Sometimes, there's this shower rain
that will clean you up
from the dust you have encountered through the journey.
There will also be a day
that rain seems like to stay forever.
A storm is not banned to come,
like the cycle of the water,
storm is scheduled to precipitate your wings
enough water and coldness.
But dont loose hope,
you cant have a 365 rainy days for a whole year.
Sunny days are meant to dry your wings
and provide you enough warm
to gather the strength
you had lost during the cold winter
and rainy seasons.
Be careful of sunny days,
sometimes, sun comes with a heat
that will burn your perseverance
to soar more up high.
Just because you got wings,
the sky isn't a home for you,
you should also learn to touch the ground
to familiarize its roughness for your feet,
so you wont feel alienated during windy times
that you have to stay under a cave for a shelter.
Or when storm comes,
at least you know how to walk grounded.

Its a pleasurable thing to learn to soar up high,
but its also a must to learn to live the life on ground,
because the life,
just like wheels,
isn't always on top.
Up and down, there's no difference.
Life is more fun
if you know how to deal with its tricks.
You just have to be prepared,
and don't be afraid to take the risk
and always move forward.

Remember,
"There's no one principle that governs the whole society."

kwaderno sa dilim

kwaderno mo ako noon, sana'y alagaan mo pa rin ako ngayon

hinanakit sa dilim, isang tinig mula sa maalikabok na imbakan.

Matagal-tagal din tayong nagkasama. Halos isang taon din diba?Naaalala ko pa na tuwing umaga, tinitingnan mo ako, kung ok lang ako. Sinisigurado mong kasama mo ako sa pagharap mo sa bagong araw mo kasama ang iyong pinakakinatatakutang guro. Pagkapasok ng guro mo sa silid aralan, tinitingnan mo ako kaagad. Natatakot kang harapin ang masungit mong guro ng hindi ako kasama. Alam mong pagwala ako, makakalimutan mo gagad ang mga itinuro sa iyo ng titser mo kahapon. Sa tulong ko, naaalala mo ang mga aral na itinuro kahapon ng guro mo. Tuwing hapon, ako pa rin ang kasama mo hanggang sa uwian. Sa paglisan ng mga kaklase mo, at isa-isa ng mag-uuwian sa kani-kanilang tahanan, madalas ako ang naiiwang iyong kasama hanggang sa pagdating sa bahay. Di ba nga minsan napagalitan ka ng nanay mo nung minsang hinayaan mo akong mabasa ng ulan. Sa inis mo ibinalibag mo ako. Ang sakit ng katawan ko nun. Halos manglupaypay ako. Pero labis ang pangangailangan mo sa akin, hindi mo ako kayang kallimutan na lang basta-basta. Kahit anong mangyari, ako pa rin ang kailangan mo. Akin pang nahihimay sa aking gunita, na tila habang buhay ng idinikit sa kabuuan ng aking alaala, ang mga panahong, dahan dahan mo akong hinahawakan ng nanginginig pa ang iyong kamay sa tuwing dadaan ang iyong lihim na iniirog. Sa tuwing mahinhin na ngingiti ang iyong sinisintang binibini.Na kapag hindi mo naiintindihan ang leksyon ay sinusulat mo sa akin anng kanyang pangalan at tuwang tuwa ka habang nakangiting ginuguhit ang mga hugis puso sa paligid ng pangalan ninyong dalawa ng magandang binibini. Masaya rin ako sa tuwing nakikita kitang masaya.

Luha at ngiti ang pinagsaluhan natin ng halos isang taon. Iniingatan mo pa nga ako na huwag magasgasan upang mapanatili ang aking kalinisan. Ayaw mo akong ipahiram sa iyong mga kaklase na tamad magsulat.NUng huling pagsusulit, pinag-agawan ako ng mga kaklase mo para makapag-aral din silang mabuti upang maibsan ang pangamba na baka bumagsak sila at hindi makakuha ng diploma pagdating ng pagatatapos. Ngunit hindi ka pumayag, ayaw mong mapunta ako sa mararahas na kamay na hindi marunong mag-alaga ng gamit.

Magdamag kang nag-aral kasama ako. Nais mong matumbasan ang pag-aalaga ng mga magulamg mo sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng matataas na marka sa mga pagsusulit. Kung maaari lang akong sumigaw at sabihing, magpahinga at umidlip ka naman upang makapag-ipon ng lakas para sa pagsusulit. Kung pwede lang kitang kalabitin at sabihing magpahinga ka naman saglit upang hindi ka mangarag pagdating ng pagsusulit. Ngunit sadyang wala akong kapangyarihang baguhin ang estado ng buhay ko, sapagkat ako ay isang abang pipi lamang, ginawa upang matulungan ka sa iyong pag-aaral at hindi para makialam sa mga disisyong iyong gagawin. Mugtong mugto ang iyong mga mata kinabukasan, dinaig mo ang namayan na magdamag na umiyak. Subalit matatag ka, likas sa iyo ang pagiging matapang at malakas ang loob. Sa kabila ng pagpupuyat, nakangiti kang pumasok sa eskuwela at taas noong ipinasa ang pagsusulit. Di man nagyayabang, labis ang tuwa mo nang batiin ka ng iyong iniirog na binibini. Lalong lumakas ang iyong loob na siya ay haranahin upang makamit ang kanyang ginintuang "oo" na makapagpapasaya ng mundo mo kung papalarin.Abot tenga ang ngti mo sapagkat alam mong malaki ang tsansang sasagutin ka ng iyong sinisinta sa taas ng marka mo. Paparating na ang pagtatapos. kumukunti ang mga aralin, pumapasok na lang kayo upang pagsanayan ang kantang iaalay niyo sa darating na pagtatapos.Madalang narin tayong magkasama. NI halos hindi mo na nga ako magawang dalawin sa ating tambayan. OO. parang nasasaktan ako na tila ba nakalimutan mo na ako kaagad. ang bilis naman.

Dumating ang pagtatapos, nagkamit ka ng maraming medalya. Sinagot ka na rin ng iyong iniirog na sinta. Ang saya saya mo noon. kitang kita ko. Ngunit hindi mo na kinikwento sa akin ang lahat ng mga yun. Marami ka nang kakuwentuhan, at hindi mo na ako kailangan. Dinaramdam ko ang pagkawala ng masaya nating samahan. Ako ngayon ay nag-aaral lumangoy, upang hindi ako malunod sa ilog ng luha na aking tinatahak ngayon. Nais ko man ngunit di ko mapigilan ang pagdaramdam ng aking damdamin.

Ngunit ako'y hindi marunong magtanim ng galit. Ako'y walang karapatang magbalangkas ng hinanakit sapagkat pag-aari mo lang ako. Gayunpaman, ako'y natutuwa sapagkat kahit di mo na ako kasakasama ngayon, naandito parin ako sa iyong kwarto, nakahimlay kasama ng iyong mga pinakaiingatang mga gamit, na tulad ko ay mga piping saksi ng iyong mga tagumpay sa likod ng mga luha at hinagpis sa iyong pagharap sa mga pagsubok. Subalit sadyang mabilis ang pag-inog ng mundo. Bagamat nasa kamay ng tao ang pagbabago sa halos lahat ng aspeto, hindi natin mapipigilan ang natural na mga pagbabago sa ating kapaligiran kaakibat ng pagdagdag ng mga bagong kakilala at kaibigan na maaring makakadagdag sa pagbabago ng galaw ng iyong mundo.

kolehiyo ka na, bago lahat ang mga gamit mo, at kasama ako sa papalitan mo. May bago ka nang makakasama. Tuluyan mo na akong kinalimutan, inalis mo na ako sa study table mo. Higit pa roon ay ipinalagay mo ako sa bodega, kasama ng iba pang mga lumang gamit na iyo na ring pinaglumaan. Hindi ko mapigilan ang bugso ng damdamin ko. Labis akong nalungkot. Hindi ko akalain na makakalimutan mo kaagad ang halos isang taon nating pinagsamahan. Nakakalimutan mo na ba ang mga panahong nagtagumpay ka dahil kasama mo ako? Alam mo ba na kahit kailan ay hindi ko ipinagkalat ang mga lihim na sinulat mo sakin? Hindi ako ng katulad ng iba mong kaibigan na ipinagkakalat ang maseselang bagay na lihim mong itinago. Akin pang naaalala lahat ng sinulat mo sakin, wala akong ni isa na nakalimutan.

Ganunpaman, mahal kita. Pag-aari mo ako at ako'y iyo lamang habang buhay, huwag mo lang sana akong ipamigay. Darating man ang araw na maaalala mo ako, bukas ako para sa iyo. Pagdating ng panahon na hahanapin mo ang mga kopya ng mga leksyon mo nung hayskul ka pa lamang, andito ako nakahandang bukalatin mo. Sapagkat ang mga dunong na iyong itinago sakin ay magiging walang silbi, hanggang hindi mo ginagamit. Dahil nagiging makapangyarihan ang dunong sa puntong ito ay ginagamit.

Sapagkat ang katalinuhan na tumatakbo sa isipan, ay nagiging kaalaman kapag ito ay naitala sa aklat na nagiging dunong kapag nabasa at nagkakaroon ng kapangyarihan na baguhin ang takbo ng bawat isipan ng mausisang nilalang na nagnanais at naghahanap ng pagbabago at kaganapan sa mga letrang naisulat sa mga lathala na pawang para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Ngunit tila hanggang sa tanikala lamang ang mga iyon at kailanman ay walang iisang madaliang paraan upang maisakatuparan ang ginintuang panukala na umiinog sa matatabang utak ng mga tinaguriang abang manunulat.

Ang mga bagay at lihim na diwa na minsang inyong naisulat sa akin ay kailan may hindi na mababago hanggang sa iyong pagbalik upang ayusin at pamatnugutan ang mga alaalang iyong naisulat dito sa isang lumang kwaderno na ngayon ay iyo na lamang itinabi dito sa madilim na bodega na imbakan ng mga kinakalimutan ng mga alaala.

Ako ay matiyaga at mapakumbabang maghihintay sa iyong pagbabalik upang muli ay buklatin, banghayin at iguhit na muli sa himpapawid ang ngiti sa iyong gunita nung tayo ay magkasama pa. Iingatan mo pa sana ako, sapagkat akoy mapapakinabangan pa ng iyong susunod na henerasyon. Upang sa ganun ay mapakinabangan nila ang iyong sipag na magtala ng mga mahahalagang bagay sa kasaysayan dito sa iyong abang kwaderno.#

contented love

I cherish those moments when you would glance at me while doing something in your computer. Those tantalizing eyes that shows your soul, melts me every time you look my way. When saying something, those eyes told me that you are honest enough for me to say yes even if sometimes I don’t get you clearly. Your look melts my worries away. That even around those pretty girls, I will stand out the best, for I am the apple of your eyes.

I visualize your face as a painting boldly sketched to deliberately show its message. Those checks tanned just enough to provide manly color to your soft face. You may not look like those ghosts like stars in the movies, but your face shines like a smiling sun on my cloudy day. Your smile, the warmest and the sweetest I have known, starts and completes my day. Assuring me to face the world, your smile gives me security from those insecurities and lack-of-confidence times.

It feels like I am watching a waltz show every time you are near doing your things, and walking around. Your feet glides smoothly as you walk, with your hands sway in a rhythmic pattern. When you turn around, it looks like you are looking for your partner in the dance floor while waiting for her to hold your hand and sway all the way round the dance floor. Your shoulders though not buckled-up with muscles are strong enough to support your girl as you slowly spin her, examining her full beau.

The chest is always ready to catch her just in case both of you do a wrong step.

I treasure you like a sweet kiss that woke me up in the morning. With the pink sky that welcomes my sleepy eyes. Your warm smile burns the cold feeling in the morning. I hear your voice as a song sang to me by the angels when you called me to say that you are coming to stay in the night and that we will eat the ever romantic simple dinner you will prepare.

Your scent, I can still smell in the pillow you used last night. Lingering through the room it keeps as my companion when you’re out for work.

..............whoops...it’s just a dream.....

………….time to wake up.......

You are quietly lying beside me, with your face as innocent as ever. The fact that I woke up today with you by my side, made my day secured. Away from those worries that you might leave me and will never come back. That I wasn’t mistaken when I told myself I will grow old with you. That you will wait every time I’m late. That even if you will be late, you will still come. You won’t promise (because they are made to be broken), instead you will tell me you will love me no matter what.

Hay...

tnx to..

mystery of the morning

Morning Dew

Every morning as I slowly awake
to the warm glow of sunlight
I thank the Lord for the gift of life.

I anxiously await the exquisite moment
when my eyes meet the misty mountains
bathing in fresh rays of sunshine.

My heart is tamed by the glory of creation
I can only see eternity and breathe serenity.

How truly euphoric it would be
If we could walk together
barefoot amidst the dewy canopy of green
blessed by the purity and innocence of a new morn.

footprints on the moon

Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

why you should not quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow--

You may succeed with another blow,

Success is failure turned inside out--

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

FRIENDSHIP QUIZ

You don't actually have to take the quiz. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.

Take this quiz:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the top five news stories five years ago.
3. Name ten presidents or leaders of the biggest countries in the world.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor or actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier?

The people who make a difference in your life are not the most powerful ones, nor have the most money or awards. They are the ones that care.

Size Of Your Heart

It isn't the size of your house as such
That matters so much at all.
It's the gentle hand and its loving touch,
That make it great or small.

The friends who come and the hour they spent
Who out of your house depart,
Will judge it not by the style you show,
But rather by the size of your heart.

It isn't the size of your head so much,
It isn't the wealth you found.
That will make you happy -- it's how you touch
The lives that are all around.

For making money is not hard --
To live life well is an art:
How people love you, how they regard,
Is all in the size of your heart.

i cant remember the site.
i just found this on my notepad...
isn't this great?...

Less Traveled.

Being a traveler is not a hard hobby. It was not just looking for the hidden paradise this country has. Traveling was not just meant for the pleasurable purposes.Traveling do not just include beaches, cliff, mountains, falls, and so much more exotic exciting sites.

It is to see every abstract thing that every site bear. Only a few travelers travel into remote and squatters area. Who would travel in a muddy and odorous areas to see whats happening in a very simple life of squatters family.

Behind tall buildings and big malls surrounding our country, are the crowded houses scattered in the remote areas. With thin and rusted roof, hardened papers as their walls and an empty rice box. A couple with three siblings dwells in poverty and struggles to live life as easy as they can.

Every morning, before anything else, they would fetch water first.Five pesos for every 2 containers. A budgeted water for the laundry, for taking a bath, for dishes, and for all domestic use. Thirty pesos for a container of safe water, potable enough to substitute for every meal they've missed.

After an early breakfast, all members of the family gotta get a job even just for that day, to survive for the next. No one goes to school. Only some lucky ones goes to school, but would immediately stop in middle high school or even without graduating elementary because of poverty. The father and the mother tries to sell something eatable delicacies in the street, joining the busy crowd to look for some food. To compete with other vendors in the street too.

While the elders are busy hunting for coins to buy some foods, the children are giggling in the streets playing innocently. In their smile, you can see happiness without any hesitations and worries. They are contented with their life. Their feet, barely ran the roads, under the scorching heat of the sun. Smiles that warm every sorrowed heart. Giggles that touches every heart.

As the sun rises, all of the kids and tired elders, get to sleep. Rest to acquire energy for the next tiresome job. The streets leaved alone. With few plastics and candy wrappers. There were also some slippers without its pair, maybe the owner had leave it when his/her mother called him/her for a sleep.


By three in the afternoon, everybody back to work, the children will play again in the streets. Some are enjoying some snacks and some are just playing. Like a trade fair, there are many booths. There are selling snacks, juices, syrup coated bananas, Filipino delicacies and any home made snacks.

As the darkness closes in, slowly the number of children generates. It was there favorite play time. No sun to touch their skin, more people passing by, more fun. They will run and play until 10:00 in the night. After a tiresome game, they'll go home hungry. Sharing the food that their parents generates through the day. Eating happily with dried fish and smoked fish, contently.

They will sleep with smile in their lips. Waiting for the tomorrow to come for another fun games.

That is how simple life is. They live without any too high ambitions and dreams. Living everyday to the fullest.A life without big debts to pay and a life not sure of tomorrow. Well whatever comes tomorrow, that's another page of life. To be opened tomorrow and to be solved tomorrow. A life of less aims, less frustrations and more happiness. Real happiness.#

slowly but surely

Local migration, specifically the migration of the younger labor force. How does this affect the migrant and the whole society? Basically it affects the individual characteristics, in the life cycle and the socio-economic status in the society. The family that usually depends the remittances were directly linked to the society and thus, it makes the migrant linked to the society's imbalance. It also affects the cultural reservation and improvement to bot place due to cross marriages and adaptation to new environments thereafter. Learning new knowledge while trashing the old fashions, style, belief and lifestyle and sometimes forgetting their own perspective.

While the place of origins(specifically rural areas), losses the younger labor force together with its brain and strength, the host place (urban areas) gains. Though on the other hand, migration promises more opportunity; such as jobs of bigger wages, new learning, tourism to the host place and remittance benefits to the place of origin.

Lets take for example the housemaid who travel far from provinces and work down n the urbanized areas, serving the family not even related to them. What was their main purpose on migrating for work? Half of them work for their family, sending their younger siblings to school while sacrificing their own dreams. One-fourth of them work for their self improvement that includes working while studying which often leads to body abuse. The other one-fourth works mainly for improving the quality of life they have in the province.

When does local migration becomes risky? How does a migrant identify the risk and benefits of migration? Unawareness is a common factor of why migrants risk to migrate without proper orientation and unsure of destination. Promised to get a good and high paying job, ignorant young migrants are easily drawn into trouble. Human trafficking is also one of the factors. It happens to both local and international work market. Migrants usually end up working as prostitutes and/or slaves for the higher class families. In case of local migration, (Philippines for specific) identifying migrants is not an easy task. Since transferring from one place to another is easy and staying in the house of the relatives even for longer times is a normal thing.

In the society, the most obvious scenario is the over population in the urban areas which consist of local migrants from the provinces. Often staying in the streets with kids roaming around and begging for food. Most of them are native from the provinces who intentionally migrate to urban areas. Begging and collecting garbage are their common jobs.

On the job-opportunity, local migrants often leave the real residents over-powered in job applications. Servicing the people which is not really a part of the original residents, housing the unauthorized residents.

Although the higher number of migrants offers tourism jobs in return, if not properly manage, may cause to exploitation of young migrants and brain drain to most of the provinces.

SO what are the things we need to do? Firstly, proper distribution of job resources all over the country. A one: one ratio of building establishments between rural and urban areas. It will leave every place an equal job opportunity. Making the rural areas be urbanized. Thus, the government should also consider the size of the area and its population. The labor force (younger ones) will always find a place where job is more attainable and sustainable. In tat case, they will never need to migrate, if job opportunities is just in their backyard. Removing the rural and urban classification will also help eliminate the discrimination between people. To start, it would require proper zoning in every place. Establish a balance area where agricultural and business sector gear up together. Every zone should limit the number of inhabitants. It will tackle the population control which will directly take effect to the next responsible citizens, the younger labor force. Since church were separated from government (in Philippines), the government should impose a mandatory birth control programs. A family should get a certain number of offspring according to its capability to raise a child. Giving for example that a middle class family should only ave two kids, under them will only have one and higher to them will only have three as the maximum. It will then result to mandatory sending of the kids to school. The community population should be limited according to its resources and size. The constant updating of birthing status should then follow.

Second and last, proper distribution of skill and non-skill workers. A resident-first policy will help. Focusing on the younger labor force in the society. It will help the young workers to stop migrating. Bigger number of migrants in a certain area should consist of tourist and business investors. Thus, it will help boast the tourism jobs. Migrant worker should get and present a permit-to-work to another place in every establishment. Controlling the migrants from going in and out will help for faster tracking of illegal businesses, work abuse (concerning employees) and to avoid the discrimination and exploitation of human rights. Local migrant, worker/non-worker, should only get a limited time of stay in a certain place. Giving opportunity to others to migrate, specially the migration of young brains for learning processes, and for learning the difference of economical and social runs in every place.

The government should also create a border within every area t control the coming in and out of migrants legally. Even the residents going out for a vacation and/or for some events, should also be tracked. The place of origin will then report to the place of destination for the coming of the certain person going out from its area of responsibility. This will help the local government develop transparency towards each other.

You cannot raise a fruitful tree over night. You need to water it everyday, keep an eye on it to protect from the harm of wild animals that might eat its leaves. You also need to trim it sometimes for it to grow according to what you want it to be. Even after the first harvest, you will still need to constantly take care of it for a constant good fruit harvest.

Implementation of laws and policies on people is also like that, keeping an eye, trimming sometimes, protecting them from harms. You need to do it constantly for constant effect.

There are a lot of laws and policies to stop or alleviate this migration issues. The society didn't ask for a sudden change which what the government is trying to do. A total stop to the issue may affect the whole country, since they are a big part of the ecosystem in the society. Though its risky and sometimes done illegally, most of the people still benefits them. It may cause massive shock to the economical state of the country. So as to do the action for changing better, may means doing it slowly but surely. Until the people get use to it. Total awareness can be acquired trough consistency. Therefore, consistency is the firs thing to watch above all this issue.#

healthy brain....how?...read this

1. Let it exercise

Playing chess, solving calculus math problems, and answering trivia questions; those might be your idea of exercising your brain. Well they can be, but what I mean is do it literally. Not as literal as putting out your brain muscles and stretch it. Do some aerobics and loose some moves that you are hiding out of the spotlight.

As we age, our brain cells, called neurons, lose the tree-branch-like connections between them. These connections, or synapses, are essential to thought. Quite literally, over time, our brains lose their heft.

Aerobic exercise increases capillary development in the brain, meaning more blood supply, more nutrients and — a big requirement for brain health — more oxygen. It may even restore memory.

Fit people have sharper brains (though not all), and people who are out of shape, but then get into shape, sharpen up their brains.

Just as important, exercise starves off heart disease, obesity, diabetes and other maladies that increase the risk of brain problems as we age.

People who are active are also having positive outlooks in their life according to researches. Their set of minds is also at ease, keeping a calm poise in every situation.

2. Keep it full

Another path to a better brain is through your stomach.

Antioxidants is not just keeping your appearance looking young. Those antioxidants are also good for your body, fighting aging related diseases, and that includes your brain.

Reading and listening helps your brain grow ideas that essential for your daily life not just for exams and tests on school that you are usually cramming for every time it comes.

Eating the proper way and proper foods is not just good for your body but also for your brain,

(you can also check for my post "coffee coffee coffee" and "get fats for your brain")

3. Speed It Up

Our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30

It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but a barrage of new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to be faster and, in effect, younger.

Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is dedicated practice: exercises for the mind.

What you think your mind can do actually depends on what you want it to function for. Since your brain is the center of your body it controls all the things that you are going to do.

If you make a habit of thinking fast so the brain can function faster, it will get use to it, and could possibly improve as you go along.

4. Stay Calm

Breathe. Relax.

While challenging your brain is very important, remaining calm is equally so. In a paper on the brain and stress, Jeansok Kim of the University of Washington asserts, in no uncertain terms, that traumatic stress is bad for your brain cells. Stress can “disturb cognitive processes such as learning and memory, and consequently limit the quality of human life,” writes Kim.

One example is a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is a primary locus of memory formation, but which can be seriously debilitated by chronic stress. Of course, physical exercise is always a great destressor, as are calmer activities like yoga and meditation. And when you line up your mental calisthenics (your Swahili and swing lessons), make sure you can stay loose and have fun.

Before doing anything, before reacting to something, have a habit of counting from 1-10, or breathing in and out for three to five times. IF at ease, your brain function at its best and could avoid you from more stressful situations and circumstances.

5. Give It a Rest

While on rest, you allowed your brain to have a look from the outer view of the things. It is like restoring the energy you have lost from deciding things. Giving your brain some rest is one way of putting it back to its normal pace, where it could think without the pressure; thinking for more better not because of pressure.

As what they say, a machine that runs 24 hours, easily get defects due to over heat. Just like your brain, without rest, it might lose some of its efficiency you used to enjoy.
