Once again thanks to Stasha at Northwestmommy for hosting Monday Listicles... This week's topic is education. As such I present to you, the top ten things you need to know to become smarter.
How to Become Smarter
- Read a lot. Read a variety of styles of texts and novels but read as much as you can.
- Befriend smart people. I am the dumbest person in my circle of friends and I am thankful for it.
- Do not be a sheep. Think for yourself.
- Staying on the animal theme, don't be a parrot. So many people think that they have to quote others to sound smart.
- Question your beliefs regularly. You may not change them but you will have confidence then that at least examined your thoughts and ideas from a multitude of perspectives.
- Never be afraid to say, "I do not know" or "I am wrong."
- Never be afraid to question others. People love to demonstrate how smart (or perhaps not) they are.
- Try new things. Be willing to stretch yourself.
- Engage the arts. This stimulates your creative juices.
- Live a healthy lifestyle. Get enough sleep, eat properly, exercise regularly.
