How can you increase your IQ?

Before one does anything to improve knowledge, there is a preliminary thing everyone should follow.

The mind is like a coffee cup. The more you keep it empty, the more you can add.

If you try to add even a little drop after it becomes full, then it is futile.

So if you like to improve your knowledge, keep your mind empty to gain more information. Pretend yourself as if you don’t know anything if you follow the below steps.

 

1. Read Books - Read-only quality books. If you wish to improve your knowledge, keep fictional books aside, and start reading Biographies, Science books, and basic law books.

 

1. Read Newspapers - First, read the headlines and mark the headlines which you feel important. Once you are done with the headlines, then read the marked headlines briefly. Focus on articles and economics more.

 

1. Participate in social activities - Participating in social activities helps to know more about the problem, which cannot be known through any news and social media. Sometimes, they misinterpret it.

 

1. Invest time in Ignorant activities - Manage your time and start focusing on areas in which you do not have any information.

 

1. Start Listening - Never be involved in an argument with others. It will bring nothing but a misunderstanding. Instead, start listening; at-least, you will get a once valid point from them.

 

1. Carry a book with you - you will not know where you find what. So always carry a book with you to note down the information. You can also use your mobile phone to note down the information.

 

1. Ask Questions - Everyone around us will know at least one good information that we might not know. So question them as much as you can to gain the most information.

 

1. Don’t be a Monkey - Don’t be a monkey while reading. If you are reading something or listening to something, complete it fully and then proceed with the next work. Sometimes the ending might have worthy information.

 

1. Use commute time - You can discover new words, listen to audio books, or even you can plan your day when you commute. Time is always precious.

 

1. Become a Blogger - One can remember more when he/she writes more. Writing bring more concentration. So once you read something, write it down to remember for a longer period.

 

1. Learn the ancient language - There are 7 ancient languages like Sanskrit, Chinese, Tamil, Greek, Latin, Lithuanian, and Persian. Try and learn any one of these languages, which tells us more ancient information we cannot find in any other language.

 

1. Have a Smart Circle - Talking to people smarter than you will fetch you more information and widen your path in searching for knowledge.

 

1. Solve puzzle - Solving puzzles like Rubik’s cube, crossword, and maze helps you think in more than one possible way, which activates your brain.

 

1. Go on Vacation -. Once you feel mentally tired, go on a short vacation. You might not need it, but your brain needs it.

 

1. Master in one skill - Mastering in one particular skill helps you to stay focused. A focused mind has the ability to gain more information.

 

1. Don’t listen to Motivational speech - Even the world best batsman Virat Kohli needs a trainer to learn and improve himself. Though we cannot afford trainers, we can choose our trainers. Choose a person as your trainer, follow their quotes, and listen to their speech.

 

1. Share your wisdom - Knowledge gets doubled only when you share it. If you don’t find an appropriate audience, record your points, upload it to Youtube or write your answer on Quora, which is easier because people in Quora are waiting for information.

 

1. Have a Quality sleep - Even a bodybuilder will take a day off from his work-out to give his muscles rest. The brain being a muscle, also needs rest. Only a good quality sleep will make your brain stay active.

 

1. Follow Rule 21 - Any additional work will become a habit if you follow it continuously for 21 days. So following the above suggestions for 21 days will become a habit.

 

1. Never give up - One cannot be a pro overnight. Everything needs time. Do your work without giving up. Returns will come automatically, but it will take time.

Indeed small droplets will lead to the mighty ocean. So your droplet today might be a mighty ocean someday.

Thanks for A2A.

All the best !!!
