This is my first Article for the year 2009… I hope you like it…

I have always been amazed by the power of the mind.. You've heard that Scientists says that we, or let's say most people only use 10% of their brain.. Well I think that it's a Myth and that based on several articles I've read we use 100% of our brains (maybe on different activity levels) and it's still 100% even when we sleep… but regardless of whom you believe.. we all agree that what ever that Challenges our brain  is noticed by us …

We now live in different times than our parents… I once had a discussion with a friend and we agreed that it's un-real that our fathers used to work as much as we are right now… Everyone is multi-Tasking these days.. And what was once considered as an Exception.. Is now the Rule :o).

Your inner mind, always seeks challenges.. Even if you don't want to.. Or do not feel it..

Have you ever noticed and wondered what was the reason behind people getting addicted to Twitter.. Facebook.. Or any website or service that involves a Mind Challenge… YES A MIND CHALLENGE.. Because those sites are all about People and how they behave socially… and we all agree that Human Behavior is almost impossible to Predict and  therefore MOST CHALLENGING to our Mind!

Well It is exactly the same reason people find reading a book more interesting than seeing the movie.. When you read   a book, you leave your mind to imagine and interpret the characters in the story and dig into more details… while when you see the movie.. They are all there and there's no more room for imagination (it's Most of the Cases… I know I can't imagine lord of the rings the way the movie was ).. 

When you read your friends' status on Facebook or Twitter, your inner mind  is immediately challenged… reading just one sentence about your friend can trigger a BIG INNER Mental Challenge… and can translate into 100s of lines & sentences that you draw your self…

After lots of experience and research, I discovered that "Mental Challenge" had a bigger Value than I thought… as mental challenge is the essence of "INTEREST"… you don't get interested or excited about someone or something unless it present a Mental Challenge to you.. And what's the opposite of it is the cause of Boredom.. You get bored if a movie is not interesting or doesn't present a mental challenge to you..  And trust me I don't always mean by challenge is that you need to look at it  as calculating algebra problems… you can watch a cartoon and get a mental challenge and don't get that while you're in a conversation with someone standing before you...

But what's even more "Interesting"  is that… we are all different… especially our Minds … so what may seem challenging for some.. Doesn't seem that much for someone else..

So let's put it in simple words… just like you need a bath everyday… you need motivation to keep you going… and your mind needs Challenge to keep you interested.. 

So final take away from this article… Be interesting… by being interested… because when you're interested… you get to know the other person's mind.. And when it's your turn… you know how to challenge their mind and become interesting…

Interesting Article right !

Cheers,
