[Quote No.61735] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[A true story with a message about how it is important to be skeptical and ask questions, in order to discover the truth:]
Reportedly, a woman was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. A man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight. He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?' The blind lady said, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.' All the people in the gate area came to a complete stand still when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a guide dog for the blind! Even worse, the pilot was wearing sunglasses! People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, But they were trying to change airlines! True story! So remember not to accept your first impressions without testing them for truthfulness as THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR." - Unknown

[Quote No.61750] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"One of the core laws of neuroplasticity is that neurons that fire together wire together, meaning that repeated mental experience leads to structural changes in the brain neurons that process that experience, making the synaptic connections between those neurons stronger. In practical terms, when a person learns something new, different groups of neurons get wired together. As a child learns the alphabet, the visual shape of the letter A is connected with the sound 'ay.' Each time the child looks at the letter and repeats the sound, the neurons involved 'fire together' at the same time, and then 'wire together'; the synaptic connections between them are strengthened. Whenever any activity that links neurons is repeated, those neurons fire faster, stronger, sharper signals together, and the circuit gets more efficient and better at helping to perform the skill.
The converse is also true. When a person stops performing an activity for an extended period, those connections are weakened, and over time many are lost. This is an example of a more general principle of plasticity: that it is a use-it-or-lose-it phenomenon. Thousands of experiments have now demonstrated this fact. Often the neurons that were involved in the skill will be taken over and used for other mental tasks that are now being performed more regularly. Sometimes one can manipulate the use-it-or-lose-it principle to undo brain connections that are not helpful, because neurons that fire apart wire apart. Suppose a person has formed a bad habit of eating whenever he is emotionally upset, associating the pleasure of food with the dulling of emotional pain; breaking the habit will require learning to disassociate the two. He might have to actively forbid himself from going to the kitchen when he is emotionally upset, until he finds a better way to handle his emotions." - Norman Doidge
Quote from his book, 'The Brain's Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity', published 2015, Page 8.

"When we're in the moment of pain, we tend not to reflect, but after that moment of pain when anyone makes a mistake about anything — it's not just the markets, it's about life — there's a message probably there. And I believe then if you reflect in a quality way on what would you do differently in the future that would prevent that mistake, you'll come out with a principle [a learning, growth, cultural evolution]. Write down that principle and then operate that in the future." - Ray Dalio
