The huge flow of information that falls every day from all kinds of media does not always turn out to be useful for the development of intelligence. To become interesting and smart, you need to change the approach to obtaining and processing knowledge. It is enough to replace TV shows, entertainment sites with high-quality literature and educational programs for a personal plan of self-development to begin to bring results.
It is necessary
- - literature;
- - the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a plan for self-development, thanks to which you can significantly increase your intelligence and learn a lot of new things. Determine the list of literature that you will be familiar with. Highlight those areas of science and culture in which you feel the most obvious gaps in knowledge.
Step 2
Make it a rule to read books, because it is good literature that develops intelligence most fully. Thanks to the systematic reading of books, you will not only broaden your horizons, but also write and speak more competently, learn to analyze and reason, and acquire the habit of constantly processing information. Always read two books in parallel. One of them is artistic, the other is cognitive or teaching. Start by reading the brightest masterpieces of the world classics. If you rarely read, do not tackle difficult authors such as F. M. Dostoevsky, F. Kafka, J. Joyce, A. Camus. Give preference to the more fascinating, but by no means less significant works by E. M. Remarque, A. P., Chekhov, J. Austen, O. Wilde. For educational literature, make a selection of books for yourself on the topics that are most useful to you, for example, psychology or marketing. Spend 15 minutes a day during your lunch break for instructional reading, and gradually you will get a good knowledge of this area.
Step 3
Refresh your school knowledge. Ignorance of basic things is unlikely to have a positive effect on your intelligence. Flip through textbooks or children's encyclopedias, remember history, geography, physics. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to memorize complex formulas or memorize the years of the life of famous personalities: there is enough general knowledge in each of the areas.
Step 4
Try to be aware of everything that is happening around. Subscribe to a good news feed and read information about the main events in the world every morning. Pay attention not only to politics and economics, but also to culture. Be aware of the main processes taking place in your country. Even if you are not interested in politics, understanding the situation will always help you make global decisions concerning your own life. Follow the most discussed news in the field of cinema, art, literature.
Step 5
Learn not only to perceive information, but to reason and analyze. Only then can you become a truly interesting person. Your own opinion on the most pressing issues, an active position, the ability to draw conclusions and make decisions: you will gradually learn all this, starting small.
