If you can do it, you must do it!

If you can do it, then you must do it. Push your limits! Do whatever which is possible to achieve your goals. Of course conditions apply, there things should not harm others or yourself in long run. Be an optimist. If you have a strong feeling in your heart that it is possible, it will become possible. What we get is what we think. If you focus on what is impossible, that is what you will get. Our brain is incredible. It will find ways to get things done what we think possible. When we think of impossible we are literally shutting off the portion of the brain which looks for solutions. Imagination is much more powerful than will power. You'll see it when you believe it!

21 days to form a good habit

About 90% of our activities are habits. Habits are routine activites which are practiced enough so that they can be done without conscious thinking. The quality of our life depends mainly on the quality of our habits. So it is important to form good habits for a fulfilling life. Anything we repeatedly do will become a habit. When an activity is repeated enough, it will be stored as physical connections in brain. So it will become permanent and can be performed without thinking. It is observed that it will take 21 days to form a habit, that is if you repeat a routine over a period of 21 days it will become a part of neurology. Now challenge yourself to form a good habit like exercising or reading books. Challenge yourself to follow through for at least 21 days and observe what happens.

Prioritize your activites: 80/20 rule

Many people will try to do everything that they could do to succeed. The sad thing is that most thing they do will not contribute much in achieving their goals. Here is the importance of prioritizing your activities. According to the Pareto principle or 80-20 principle, the 20% of your activities will produce the 80% of results. The reverse of this rule is also true. The 80% of activities will account for only 20% of results. This principle is true for almost all areas such as business, companies etc. In sales 80% of sales will come from 20% of sales people. Your first goal is to identify your most valued activities, that is the top 20% activities that will contribute more to your life. If you concentrate also on those low valued tasks, you will waste your life's significant part.

Games that can activate your mind and improve your memory

There are several games that can activate your mind's potential. These mind games can improve your analytical thinking skills, memory and concentration. Examples of these games include chess, checkers, hangman etc. Among there games the classic one is chess. Chess have a very long history, originated in Asia around 6th century. A special thing about chess is that no two games can go in same way. There are practically unlimited combinations that can happen in a game. This also means that when playing chess, the brain is dealing with a new problem in each move. A good thing about chess is that it can be played by oneself! But only using computer as opponent. Today there sad a number of chess programs which are available as freeware or shareware for free download. Using these programs will help to improve your brain's abilities. Another interesting games that I come across are Bookworm, memory tiles, hangman etc. Hangman is available from the popcap's website.
