How To Become Smarter
There are three things that will get you ahead in life: Good looks, smarts and being considered as being smart. The first is God-given. 1. In this article we explore some different ways to become smarter.
Go to college, and get an education. 2. It means that you will have been exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you will have learned how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess.
Read books and educational magazine. 3. Educational magazines such as Discovery or National Geographic are a wealth of knowledge that you can share with others, thus making you sound very smart. If you do watch television, try watching something where you can learn such as the History Channel, Discovery etc.
Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It does not seem like much, but adding 52 new word to your vocabulary will make you appear much smarter. Subscribing to vocabulary. com is a good start. 4. This way you are actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.
5. Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this. They hear an outrageous(骇人的) claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your quest for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.
A. That is my exact point.
B. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking.
C. You will have a new word sent to your e-mail address daily.
D. The programs actually provide you with information you can see.
E. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television.
F. Do not repeat everything people tell you until you know that it is true.
G. College does not necessarily mean you will be smarter, just educated.
