My Life: 3 Talks, 3 Experiences

Well. Today i went for 3 different talks from 11am until 4pm which were held in conjunction with Mind Festival of Malaysia. The first talk was "Love your brain and your life will be beautiful" by Mr. SK Tan. Honestly, this guy was awesome because initially i thought it would be a boring talk but it turned out that i was getting much more than i expected. He surprised me with his knowledge about brain, such as if we drink carbonated drink for a long period, our brain will actually shrink!!! When we had unhealthy diet, at the age of 70, our brain will shrink by 30%! Another fact was that if we continuously drink those RO water for 3 years, we will tend to get osteoporosis. Here some other facts where he really impressed me a lot:

1) 99.99% of food products that were made in USA are actually made from PLASTIC!!! Those food products are being modified, but the content of plastic is still inside the food itself, and he proved to us using a video showing french fries from McDonald which did not rotten even after 3 months. Other products including Big Mac, Fillet O fish, Mc Chicken were all rotten but not french fries, and i think you know why.

2) If we take our conscious mind as captain and sub-conscious mind as soldiers, then we better put those positive reinforcement into our conscious mind. For example, if we keep telling our conscious mind that we cant do something, then the captain (conscious mind) will send the order to soldiers (sub-conscious mind) telling them that we actually cannot do that thing, which will eventually causes failure. Because of this, there is a saying says that " If you think you can, you can."

3) You know that if we have too many electrical appliances between us, we will feel weary in a short period of time, but do you know the reason behind this? Well, NASA had created an equipment which can detect the magnetic field around us, or in other word, aura. We Asians usually use chopstick and plastic spoons when we have our meals, but for those foreigners, they use spoon and fork, as well as other metal utensils, and that is the how they feel lethargic. The metal spoon acts as a source to make their aura "disappear" because it has been discharged, just like an antenna always do. Besides that, handphone is also one of the sources that can discharge our aura, which will be recovered only after 30 minutes.

Basically these were the things that i managed to remember. There were other informations given which pertained to how we can fully utilize our brain, where more than 95% of it was not being utilized by everyone, but i forgot most of it. What i could recall was that having a healthy diet was very important to us. Lolz. The other two talks that i attended include photo reading, which was a way to read 25000 words in one minute by Suzanne Lee, and Mind-mapping by Mr. CK Liew. For the photo reading, there were 5 steps that we had to follow, which were focus on the purpose of your reading, preview, flip through the book, postview, and activate your mind to absorb information. We were actually not using our conscious mind to absorb knowledge from the book, but putting information and message into our sub-conscious mind in order to find out what we want via second step, which was preview. After all, i did not get much information from there because it was kind of abstract information for me. Finally was the mind-mapping talk. Basically it was just about the importance of making mind-map because it can help us to save a lot of time especially students like us, but personally i like the way the presenter presented as he shared his own experiences with us. For me, the best way to make us understand something is to think and talk from our perspective, but anyway, he did a great job. That was the experience i had today, and now, i feel like i am improving. Again. Lolz.
