CHAPTER 13 (Think And Grow Rich -- Napoleon Hill)
THE BRAIN: A BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING STATION FOR THOUGHT
The Twelfth Step toward Riches
The brain is a marvellous thing. In my opinion, no man made device could ever match it.
The brain consists of two parts, the voluntary and the involuntary. The involuntary part of the brain controls the functions required to keep us alive such as breathing and our heart beat. We can control our breathing to a certain extent. You can hold your breath for a while but eventually the involuntary will force you to breathe again. The involuntary part is programmed as soon as its functions are required by the growing fetus.
The voluntary part of the brain is a blank slate and must be programmed through trial and error. Witness the tot trying to walk for the first time. He learns the use some piece of furniture to stand up and hang on to for a few tentative steps. She will eventually let go and attempt a few steps on her own and fall down. By repeating this process time after time, he will eventually be able to take more and more steps so that eventually he will cross the room. In the process, the brain is learning what works best and uses this knowledge to improve performance.
This process is evident throughout our life. That is how we learn to ride a bike, drive a car, play a sport, solve puzzles. We use trial and error and practice. Theory will not help you much, practice is the only way to really learn anything. This means that no matter who you are, you can learn anything you set your mind to. Yes, there will be a lot of failure and frustration at the beginning. Michael Jordan became great because he practised and practised and practised until he became really good and even then he practised some more.
You can apply this to anything in your life, saying your self talk, talking to your students, leaving phone messages, etc.
The point here is that our brain learns through doing things over and over and over again. It learns from the mistakes it makes.
Of course, what makes the brain so marvelous is that it is also a receiving and broadcasting station for thoughts.
I am grateful to Michael and Linda for all they do to help the thousands who have the courage to grow into the person they were meant to be.
I am grateful to all who participate in the MFF calls and add their energy to the mastermind so that we can all re-energize.
I am grateful to all who download STS and allow me to help them grow into the person they were meant to be.
