How To Be Supremely Smart
Some people just seem smarter than the rest of us, and it's not necessarily because they went to a better school. No, there are ways for you to be supremely smart too! You might not have the financial means or the ambition for higher education, but that doesn't mean there's no hope for you!
This post will teach you some of the best brain-boosting methods from Oprah Winfrey to Benedict Cumberbatch - all at your own convenience. You'll learn how to read faster, how to use your phone in a more beneficial way, and even how reading upside down can improve your memory.
You'll also learn how to use your emotions and senses to your advantage.
Whether you're trying your best to get into college or just want a better job, there are ways that you can be more intelligent in your life without relying on some of the outlandish methods above.
Almost all animals rely on their sense of smell to find food, avoid predators, and find mates. The human nose is not that different from a dog's, or even a cat's; however, it does have some unique features that help us generate more information about the smells around us.
Have you ever heard of the "smell-o-vision" experiment? If not, don't worry...it's not a real thing.
This is a term used for an experiment where a different smell is pumped into a theater for every scene change in a film.
The concept of smell-o-vision was proven to be impossible by the BBC, which produced its own "smell-o-vision" movie in 1954 and aired it on TV in 2001. They discovered that, although we are able to discern about 10,000 different odors across our lifetime, we can only produce one at a time through our noses. The olfactory glands can't generate enough scent molecules at once to make this experiment happen.
What we smell is limited by the size of our olfactory bulb and how quickly it can relay information. According to the BBC, our sense of smell is only 1% as strong as a dog's. If you're ever wondered why your dog always manages to find his way home even when he's lost, it has to do with his superior sense of smell.
So how can you use your nose to be smarter? It might sound strange, but if you pay close attention to how food smells - or even how flowers or plants smell - it might help you recall memories better!
As you go about your day, try to imagine memories that have smells in them. If you can't think of any, then try to remember how certain food tastes. If you smell that food, it might trigger a memory of eating it with your family or friends.
This simple practice might be a way for you to get better grades in school!
If you're the type of person who loves to read, this next tip is for you.
Imagine reading an entire book and being unable to tell anyone what happened in it without looking at the book. If that's not difficult enough, imagine doing this while also trying to read only 20 pages per day - that's all the time your eyes can take in according to experts.
That's right...we can only read about 20 pages at a time before needing a break. In fact, your eyes get so tired from reading that the lines of print start to melt.
The reason we can't read more than 20 pages in one sitting is because of the strain on our eyes while reading. If you're not getting enough sleep and are trying to read too much at once, it can cause headaches and eye strain that make it difficult for you to continue reading.
This is why e-readers are helpful, because they eliminate these problems by removing the eye strain and providing readers with an easier interface that's easier on your eyes.
If you've been looking for a new hobby or maybe just a new way to pass the time, consider reading. Maybe you'll take away some great ideas from your books, or maybe you'll just enjoy yourself while reading an interesting story!
