LEARN AND LEARN

(Recommended For: Mostly Students)

As we know, learning make us smart. Why can we be clever? Actually, our brain is a superior thing. Even we learn everyday at school, then continued at home, our brain will never be exhausted. This small thing has a very big capacity of storage or memory. It's different with a rubbish bin that will be overflow if it's filled too much thing. Our brain won't!

Some experts said that human's brain has an ability to remember so many things even it's filled by information everyday, even every second! John Griffith, a mathematician said that a normal man could remember 1,000,000,000,000 bits of information. And John von Neumann, an expert of information theory said that a normal man could memorize information up to 280,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits of information! What a great capacity! So, actually, there's no reason to be lazy to keep learning and learning. But, please note that our brain also needs to be refreshed too. Don't force our brain to think and memorize something. Sometimes, we need to entertain ourselves to refresh our brain so that it can be used again later. So that why, we may not learn for along the night to face an exam. Because, in tired condition, our brain can't work well.

So, keep learning. The word "learning" here not always means learning lessons at school. "Learning" can be at school (of course) or get information from newspaper, magazine, radio, internet, etc. The point is keep filling our brain by information so that it won't stop working. You should know that our brain will not work well if it too often "empty" and rarely used to think! So, don't let your brain lack of "food" in three days. Imam Syafi'i, an expert in Muslim law who gives an independent interpretation of the Koran and Hadist said that we must find out more knowledge as hard as a mother who is looking for her missing daughter.
