Unleashing Brain Potential: The "15% Rule" by Neuroscientist

 

Since the mid-May or earlier, I have been immersed in the thought of how I can introduce myself in English using refined, easily understandable, and dignified word choices.

As I tried to express myself in a more elegant manner, I realized that my initial attempt felt too formal. So, I made adjustments to achieve a balance between sophistication and comfort, even experimenting with Steve Jobs' speaking style. I also aimed for an approach that would be accessible to children. After numerous iterations of revisions, I finally completed a sentence that conveys myself in the best possible way. Throughout this process, there was one guiding principle: my introduction should be concise and brief.

To enhance my ability to communicate effectively in English, I engage in daily practice sessions focusing on pronunciation, voice modulation, and gestures, all aimed at conveying myself in the best possible way. These exercises were not just for introducing myself to someone or for delivering a presentation; they began with the simple desire to excel in expressing myself in English. As time went on and my skills improved, I started exploring various topics to practice expressing in English. It has been a fascinating journey, expanding the range of subjects I can discuss and sharing new experiences through English. Occasionally, I also seek assistance from ChatGPT to further enhance my skills.

As I continued practicing, English words started ringing in my ears, and sometimes sentences would spontaneously come to mind. It was a joyful and delightful experience. What used to be something I could easily overlook in my younger days has now transformed into a source of vitality and happiness in my mid-fifties.

During my youthful years, I neglected the importance of repetitive learning. My focus was on acquiring knowledge quickly for immediate application, and I believed that repetition only led to acknowledging mistakes and failures, which hurt my pride. Of course, not everything was like that, but I tended to concentrate my efforts on striving for flawless performance.

When I was young, I could grasp and acquire things rapidly, making it easy to apply them. However, as I grew older, I realized that a fixed mindset and accepting new things require time and effort. Although my memory and memorization skills may not be as sharp as before, I don't give up or hesitate just because I'm getting older. Instead, I want to discover my own potential and grow through effort and challenges.

Along with age, I have received gifts of understanding and forgiveness for mistakes. The phrase "It's okay to make mistakes~ You can try again" is something I have said to others, but it also applies to myself. Through repetition two or three times, I discovered more things and found excitement in new experiences. The thrill of discovering details that were not apparent at first, but emerged through repeated practice, filled me with joy. In the end, the words "Repetition can be so charming~^^" naturally came out of my mouth.

 

I'm glad to hear that you came across a YouTube video about rejuvenating the brain and returning it to a youthful state. These videos are based on the research findings of Professor Andrew D. Huberman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University.

Professor Andrew D. Huberman is actively involved in the field of neuroscience at Stanford University. He possesses a deep understanding of brain functioning and learning, and conducts research on enhancing brain capabilities and learning methods.

Professor Andrew D. Huberman is widely known for his lectures and talks, where he shares his research findings and experiences. His lectures and videos cover fascinating topics related to learning, personal growth, brain function, and enhancement. Through Professor Huberman's lectures, you can gain insights into better learning methods and ways to develop the potential of the brain.

While I couldn't find any information about his content being published as a book yet, you can explore his insights through YouTube videos until you find a book. Many YouTube channels cover Professor Andrew D. Huberman's content, so it would be beneficial to refer to those.

 

Setting a target difficulty level that allows for about 15% mistakes

This statement emphasizes the importance of setting goals with a difficulty level that allows for about 15% of mistakes. Instead of aiming for difficult goals while trying to avoid failure, it is considered optimal to set goals that anticipate a failure rate of around 15%. It acknowledges that a failure rate of approximately 20% is acceptable, but a failure rate exceeding 50% would make the goal too challenging.

A 15% failure rate is seen as an opportunity to discover true mastery. This hopeful expectation is derived from experiences in one's fifties. It is a reminder of the charm of repetition, learning from failures, and making new discoveries to truly make them one's own. These aspects might not have been fully understood during childhood or youth.

In conclusion, always maintain an attitude of personal growth and pursue new challenges. Learning and growth are continuous processes regardless of age, and failure and mistakes are natural occurrences. However, within them lie new possibilities and fascinating experiences that further our growth. As long as you believe in your potential and make efforts, you can achieve anything. Continually seek motivation for yourself, pursue new knowledge and experiences, and strive to communicate with the world in a sophisticated and dignified manner. Good luck!
