How to Become A Genius and Think like Genious: Learn How to Innovate

Edited by Steven Mruma, KnowItSome, Bo, LB.StorM, Chris Hadley and 64 others

    There are many ways to classify a genius. But if you look at the historical figures whom most people would consider geniuses, such as Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Beethoven, you can see one thing they all share in common: they were all able to think in a way different from the mainstream, and thus made connections that no one else did. Based on that pattern, this article will address some of the ways you can think like a genius.

Steps

1. 1
   Love learning. Geniuses are passionate about the things they do. If you want to think like a genius, find what you love and dive in headfirst.
2. 
   
   
   
   

   • Figure out what your learning style is and make use of it. The major types are auditory, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic and kinesthetic. Experiment with different techniques for absorbing information and stick with what works best.
   • Learn how to self-educate. There are lots of resources available on the internet and through local services like community colleges and libraries that can put all sorts of exciting information at your fingertips.
   • Be pro-active and ask questions. There are people you meet every day that know all sorts of things and have all sorts of valuable skills to share. As a genius, be interested in the potential in everything.
   • Be over-comprehensive in your studies. Learn everything there is to know.
   • As you learn about different disciplines, think about how they connect to one another.
3. 2
   Start ambitious projects and see them through from start to finish. Genius ideas have often occurred in the pursuit of something that many contemporaries thought to be downright crazy. Create opportunities for yourself to discover new things by embarking on journeys no one has embarked on yet.
   
   
    
   
   Embrace change, uncertainty, and doubt. It is on these edges of knowledge that innovation and discovery happen. Don't be afraid to question conventional wisdom; geniuses are the ones who rewrite those conventions.
   
   

LEARN: Guide for Writing Project Proposals

This is a summary of how to write good, concise proposals for course projects. The focus of this summary is on programming or implementation projects, but the general ideas can be applied to most proposals. The recommended lengths of sections are given assuming a document length of 2 to 5 pages. Use appropriate scaling for longer proposal documents.

Sample Outline

The following is a sample outline for a project proposal. Note that all questions for a section may not apply to your proposal, and should be used as a general guide only.

1. Introduction (1 or 2 paragraphs)
• Motivation Sentence
• Summarize the problem (1 or 2 sentences)
• Summarize the solution (1 or 2 sentences)
• Describe format of rest of proposal (sections, etc.)
2. Motivation (1 to 3 paragraphs)
• What is the history of the problem?
• Why is this problem interesting?
• When and why does the problem occur?
• Is the problem already solved? What is done now?
• Are there any similar systems or solutions to the one you propose? If so, reference and very briefly explain them.
• Are there are possible improvements to current solutions?
3. Project Summary (1 paragraph)
• What in general will this project achieve? (Do not delve into details or timelines.)
4. Project Details

LEARN: How Brain Training Can Make You Significantly Smarter In Your Life..

   
  As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be.  We suddenly can't remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance's name, or the name of an old band we used to love.  As the brain fades, we euphemistically refer to these occurrences as "senior moments."
     While seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.
It happens to most of us, but is it inevitable? 
      Neuroscientists are increasingly showing that there's actually a lot that can be done.  It turns that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive functions.  Thinking is essentially a process of making neural connections in the brain.  To a certain extent, our ability to excel in making the neural connections that drive intelligence is inherited.  However, because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and fluctuate according to mental effort.
     Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first "brain training program" designed to actually help people improve and regain their mental sharpness.  Called Lumosity, it was designed by some of the leading experts in neuroscience and cognitive psychology from Stanford University.
      Lumosity, is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills.  That's because they have integrated these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills.  The program keeps track of your progress and provides detailed feedback on your performance and improvement.  Most importantly, it constantly modifies and enhances the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing--much like an effective exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.
Does it work?
       Apparently it does. In randomized, controlled clinical trials, Lumosity was shown to significantly improve basic cognitive functions. One study showed students improved their scores on math tests by 34 percent after using Lumosity for six weeks, significantly greater gains than those made by other students in the same class, who were not training with the Lumosity program.

Football Transfers in Premier League of England.. and La Liga of Spain..

        English Premier League is widely considered to be the strongest football competition in the world and as such it is a real magnet for football fans everywhere. With Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal fighting for the title every single season, and clubs like Tottenham and Manchester City closing the gap behind the Big 4, every Premiership campaign seems to be even more interesting than the last.
Having said that, you will be glad to hear that English Premier League Transfers page will help you stay up to date with the latest football transfers from England's top flight, with even transfer fees shown where available. While the title rivals are looking to add few more quality players without upsetting the balance of the squad, the smaller sides and especially the promoted teams aim for quantity as well as quality, but you can rest assured that all soccer transfers will be shown in this section as soon as they have been officially confirmed.
