5 Ways to Become More Intelligent

Read Often

Do you realize that through reading you can learn in a few hours what took someone decades to learn? Reading not only informs, but it also increases your capacity for learning, thereby increasing your intelligence.

Although knowledge is not the summation of intelligence, it is the foundation of intelligence, so it’s crucial that we cultivate the joy of reading.

It’s an amazing thing, people who become successful write down how they did it, and then sell that information for a few dollars. For a few dollars and a few hours you can literally pick someone’s brain; you can buy a piece of their intelligence.

Reading gives you insight into great minds and sharpens your intellect. This allows you the ability to make greater logical connections because reading gives you more pieces of life’s puzzle. By reading from a multiplicity of sources, you gain the wisdom of many.

Reading (blogs like this one) is a great way to increase your intelligence. Remember, readers are leaders, and leaders are usually intelligent.

Teach Others

“Those that understand, teach.”- Aristotle

Teaching increases your capacity for reasoning, a critical aspect of intelligence.

Anyone who’s ever successfully taught anything realizes that teaching increases your capacity to reason. When you teach, you’re often required to view what you’re teaching from a variety of perspectives.

“I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.”-Abigail Adams

When you teach, it’s often essential that you question what you believe in order to deal with objections and oppositions that are sure to arise. Teaching is often more beneficial to the teacher than the student.

Get Into Action

Action increases your capacity to understand a subject. As the old proverb goes, “In all thy getting, get understanding.”

You can have information, and you can teach what you know, but you will never fully understand a subject until you put it into practice. If you want to significantly increase your intelligence related to cooking, don’t just watch the Cooking Channel and don’t just tell someone how to cook; you must master cooking yourself by trying, failing, and perfecting the act of cooking.

You will always understand things better when you do them yourself. Knowledge gives you the pieces of the puzzle; understanding helps you put the puzzle together.

“A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.”-Henry David Thoreau

Master One Subject

Mastery is a sign of intelligence. Mastery comes from focusing on one subject until you fully understand it. If you can fully understand one subject, it will help you to better understand other subjects. In other words, mastery will increase your aptitude for grasping truths. If you can master playing the piano, you will better understand music in general.

Additionally, if you can master any subject, you will understand what it takes to succeed.

Bonus: Watch More Television

You probably didn’t see this one coming.

By watching more television, you can become more “well-rounded.” Of course I’m not referring to watching more of the The Simpsons, I’m talking about watching television shows that offer an educational message such as political shows or shows on The Discovery Channel or The History Channel. These shows can increase your capacity for learning, reasoning, and understanding as long as you don't choose educational shows that also stress you out.

10 Small Ways to Make the World a Better Place

By Dustin Wax

An important part of our growth and motivation as people lies in contributing to the greater good, being part of something greater than ourselves. While “making the world a better place” often calls to mind images of great leaders at the head of mighty social movements, white-coated researchers developing new medicines or energy sources, or geniuses dreaming up theories that explain the world around us, there is plenty of room for less lofty acts that create small measures of happiness in the lives of those around us. Little gestures can create or strengthen our sense of community and of shared humanity, lightening our burdens for just a moment and giving us something to smile about. And that’s no small matter.

Here are ten little gestures, all of them easily within our grasp, that can spread goodwill in our own communities, as well as increase our own sense of mindfulness about the people around us and our relationship to them.

1. Tip generously: As often as you can afford, leave a tip of 25%, 50%, 100%, or even more. (Obviously this applies mostly in countries where 15% tips are the norm.) Unless the service was simply awful – and even then, it might pay to consider what your server goes through – leaving as large a tip as you can afford not only puts a little extra extra money in your servers’ pocket, it tells them that they’re appreciated, a message that often slips our minds in our demanding, service-now society.


2. Compliment someone: Tell someone how much you like the job they’re doing, their outfit or new haircut, their singing voice – whatever. Be honest and sincere. I like to practice “drive-by compliments”, sending an out-of-the-blue email to someone whose website, post, or comment on a post I really liked. Don’t expect anything in return, just let someone know that something they’re doing works and move on.

3. Be totally open with someone: Let someone know exactly how you feel about something on your mind (though not something negative about them – there’s a different “protocol” for that sort of thing). We often keep too much to ourselves; letting someone into your confidence can be a great way to show your trust and appreciation of them. Of course, you have to judge what is and isn’t appropriate – it is possible to move past openness to dragging others into your problems, and that’s not making the world a better place.

4. Give someone a book you’ve read: Making a gift of something you’ve read and enjoyed is more than just a nice gesture, it’s a way of showing someone that a) you think of them, b) you understand them, and c) you want to share something with them. The moment doesn’t end when they take the book – once they’ve read it, you can talk about your reactions together. Don’t do this with people around you who don’t read, though – you’ll build up an obligation that will be painful for them to discharge.

5. Make something for someone: Bake an extra batch of cookies, draw a picture, decorate an extra Christmas ornament, and give it to someone for no good reason. Like giving someone a book, it tells them that you were thinking about them and wanted to do something nice for them, and that it’s something you made adds a nice touch. Give without expectations – whether they return the favor or not, whether they like it or not, whether they’re nice to you or not, these are all irrelevant.

6. Send a letter, email, tweet, or text message out of the blue: Email someone you haven’t spoken with for a while, or text someone you see every day just to be nice. Maybe they’ll respond, maybe not – it’s beside the point. They just need to know that they’re important to you.
7. Commend an employee to their manager: It’s one thing to tip or compliment someone for their service, it’s another to contact their manager and tell them what a great job they’ve done. If you don’t have time at the time of service, note the employees name and call, email, or write a letter later.

8. Teach someone how to do something: Share your skill or talent with someone by showing them how to do something. Not so they won’t bother you with it, but so they can move a little bit towards improved mastery of the world around them. Have patience and respect for the person you’re helping – you’re giving them a gift, not compensating for some lack in their character.

9. Let someone shine: Put a spotlight on someone else’s talents by letting them take over a presentation, deferring to their wisdom, asking them advice, or otherwise flex their “talent muscles”. Especially if they are junior to you, giving them a chance to strut their stuff shows that you trust them and appreciate them, as well as allowing them to get the attention they deserve (and which might often be obscured by your own shadow).

10. Connect like minds: Introduce two friends or colleagues who you feel have something to gain from each other. You’ll be letting them know you value them – and maybe creating a partnership that will make everyone better off.

You’ve probably heard the saying “Practice random acts of kindness”, and that’s basically what I’m talking about here. Anything that shows people you care about them – something we can be mighty stingy about most of the time – has the potential to make the world, or your small corner of it, a better place.

16 Ways to Use Active Listening Techniques in Online Communication

1. Vary Your Tone of Voice on the Phone or Skype

Tone of voice adds a lot to the message you are conveying—excitement, surprise, disappointment. Make good use of this when you are on the phone, and the other person can’t see your face.

Start by smiling. It’s often said that you can hear a smile over the phone. Then give the listener the benefit of hearing your facial expressions and emotional responses in the tone you speak with.

2. Mirror Your Facial Expressions with Emoticons

Emoticons can help clarify a message over email or instant messenger—though you don’t want to overuse them in a corporate context. Were you being serious or sarcastic, humorous or business-like. It’s usually not possible to tell from the words you use—especially when you are being concise—and the other person will subconsciously try to fill in the gaps, and often get it wrong. A smiley can add helpful context to a brief message.

3. Tell the Other Person About Your Feelings and Reactions

Have you ever been on one end of the phone wondering how the person was reacting on the other? Your listeners will have the same experience. Become your own commentator, and try to fill in the gaps for them. Use brief phrases like:

“That’s fantastic.”

“You’ve made my day.”

“I’m disappointed about…”

“That’s terrible.”

“That won’t work for me.”

If you were meeting in person, the other person would have evaluated your response from your body language. It’s dangerous to assume they will guess correctly from just the words you use over the phone. Let them know.

4. Ask Your Client About Their Feelings and Reactions

On the other hand, it’s dangerous to assume you are interpreting your client’s responses correctly. Ask them for feedback by asking questions like:

“How do you feel about that?”

“Does that sound good to you?”

“Is that going to work?”

“Is that what you were expecting?”

Don’t just listen for facts, listen for feelings too. They can alert you to uncertainty or misunderstanding, warn of upcoming problems, or highlight opportunities you may otherwise have missed.

5. Specify the Response You Want

In the MindTools article Effective Email, it is suggested that you specify the response you want. This helps move things forward, and help you move to the next step more easily.

Make sure to include any call to action you desire, such as a phone call or follow-up appointment. Then, make sure you include your contact information, including your name, title, and phone numbers. Do this even with internal messages: The easier you make it for someone else to respond, the more likely they are to do so.

6. Don’t Pretend to Understand

If you miss something your client said on the phone, or you don’t really understand what they are saying, don’t pretend that you do. If you get lost, say “Sorry, I didn’t get that. What are you saying?” Pretending that you understand when you don’t will usually only lead to greater confusion, and it will be more embarrassing to admit it down the track.

7. Use Effective Interjections

When we are meeting with our clients face-to-face, we can show them we are listening and engaging by nodding to what they say, maintaining eye contact, and varying our facial expressions. That doesn’t work on the phone.

Instead, learn to use effective interjections to show your interest and that you’re listening. Use care—you don’t want to interrupt what they are saying. A simple, “Mmm” or “Ah ha” from time to time should be sufficient.

8. Offer Feedback

With Active Listening, “feedback” is a way to confirm you are understanding what your client is saying by rephrasing it. For example, you can reflect back “Joe, you sound happy with the new direction we are taking,” or “Mary, it sounds like you’ve changed your mind about the best color to use.”

This technique works well in conversations by phone or instant messenger, but be careful of using it in email. You want to avoid making your client send an extra email unless you are really unsure of what they mean.

9. Make Heavy Use of the ‘What’ Technique

The ‘What’ technique helps you clarify what your client is after, and works very well via digital communication. It involves asking questions that start with ‘What’, such as:

What do you want?

What can I do for you?

What were you hoping for?

What do you see as possible?

What is the context of that concern?

10. Get Personal

Use your client’s name and second-person pronouns such as “you”, “your”, and “yours” to let them know you’re thinking of them specifically.

11. Answer Your Email Quickly

It’s amazing how many emails go unanswered, or are not answered in a timely manner. If your client has sent you an email, they’re likely to be anxious to get your response. After a while they will take your lack of response as a lack of interest, or start to wonder whether you actually received the email.

Put their mind at rest by answering the email quickly. Even if you need time to think about their offer, or don’t have time to deal with the issue at the moment, send them a brief reply letting them know you received their email, and will give them your answer in a few days or a few hours.

12. Re-read Your Email Before You Send It

You may already do this, looking for spelling and grammar errors. Make sure you also clarify sentences that might be misunderstood, and consider what emotion you might seem to be writing with. Do you come across as being short, angry or arrogant?

13. Set Out Your Email Replies Like a Conversation

When replying to a long email, or an email that addresses various points, set out your reply like a conversation. Quote each of the writer’s points one by one, with your own response after each point. This makes your reply easier to follow, and your answers to different issues won’t be confused. Don’t quote irrelevant parts of the original email, just the issues you are responding to.

14. Use Short Paragraphs

Short paragraphs are easier to read and easier to understand, especially when being read from a computer screen. For maximum readability, keep them to 50 words or less.

15. Avoid Shortcuts and Abbreviations

Besides being unbusinesslike, MSN-style abbreviations can be difficult to decode, and lead to misunderstanding. Make your emails and instant messages as understandable as possible by avoiding them. In a business context, it is best to avoid even well-known abbreviations like “lol”, “brb” and “imho”.

16. Remember You Can’t Get Back a Sent Message

Have you ever hit “Send” too soon – either before your message was actually finished, or just as you realized you’d typed something inappropriate? In general, once you send a message, it’s gone. (Though you may be able to recall an internal email on a Microsoft Exchange server, and Gmail has a lab feature that gives you a few seconds to undo a send.)

Get in the habit of double-checking important emails to clients. For the very important ones, you may want to save it in drafts for a while, and re-read it with fresh eyes.

How to Become a Better Listener

Take turns

Failed discussions are almost always interpersonal related. It is during the process of screaming at the kids or arguing with our partner when we fail to listen to what the other party has to say.

To help navigate the mental minefield in such a situation it helps to give each person/party its own turn where they can speak for a minute or two, telling what's on their minds while you listen. After their time is up, it's your turn to speak. It works!

With a bit of training and a willingness from both sides to give this a fair go you will actually resolve matters a lot faster because instead of trying to out-shout one another to get heard, everyone can have their say in relative peace, allowing easier conflict solving.

Remove your prejudice

How often do we shut off to another person's message just because we don't agree with them? We do it all the time. Since we are human, we all have our own opinion on things. That's perfectly fine. But you know as well as I do that everything has two sides. Remember, yin and yang, good and bad, right and wrong!

By removing our prejudice to actually listen to what the other person has to say we remove self-imposed brain blockages and open ourselves up for proper communication with the other party. You should try it, because you might be surprised what you learn during the process.

Practice eye contact

A discussion without eye contact is like a body without a soul. Something lacks - a personal touch. If you are guilty of shutting off to other people's talk, could it be because you don't make eye contact with them while talking to one another?

Granted, this is hard to do when speaking on the phone, but the next tip might help you in those situations.

Practice eye contact when you speak with someone the next time. Initially it might be hard because many people are actually uncomfortable looking into each other's eyes. However, it will be worth your while because in doing so you establish a new intimacy between the people involved and I'm almost willing to guarantee that this will help to form a better bond between you.

Show courtesy

To me, courtesy is a life essential. I was brought up to show courtesy to others. This helps when we speak with people on the phone. However, there are situations when you just can't listen to someones rambling any longer. The worst real life situations are call center calls. In that case, firmly tell them you are not interested to hear what else they have to say and if they ignore your plea, then hang up the phone.

Silence is key

Sometimes, saying nothing says so much more. The messages you tell when you are silent can be read in your body language, so be careful how you hold yourself at the next staff meeting.

By being silent and observing what the other person has to say we learn to pick up on their energies and the messages they DON'T speak. This is a great tool if you work with people, because you can gain a deeper insight into their personalities by being a better observer.

Siyaset - Ankara'nin Ödülleri

Çok sayın Ankara Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanı İ.Melih Beyin fotoğrafları şehrin dört bir yanında epey bir süredir durmaktalar. “Ankara’lı Kentinle Gurur Duy” şeklinde de bir şeyler yazıyor altında. Sebep: Avrupa Ödülüne layık görülmüş şehrimiz.


Şehrimizin Avrupa açısından neyi iyi ve diğer Avrupa (ki Ankara Avrupa kıtasında bile değil) şehirlerine oranla iyi yaptığını anlamadığım için sürekli düşünüp duruyordum. En sonunda bir belediye otobüsünde dağıtılan konuyu Ankara halkının bilgisine sunan değerli bir broşür bana ışık tuttu. Bröşürde ne konuda ödül alındığı yazmıyordu, ama ödülü vermek üzere Ankara’ya kadar gelenlerin adları ve fotoğrafları bulunuyordu.

Mesela;

Komite Başkanı Alan Meale ... ufak bir Internet taraması yapınca kendisinin herhangi bir komitenin başkanı olduğu yönünde bir bilgiye ulaşamadım. Ancak ilginç bir şekilde Sayın İ.Melih Beye ödülünün vermek için buralara kadar zahmet eden bu kişinin, İngiliz bir parlementer olduğunu ve kensisinin Güney Kıbrıs’ta yer alan Kıbrıs Rum Kesimi ile yoğun bir ilişki içinde bulunduğunu anlamak mümkün oldu. Komite Başkanı olduğunu Internet üzerinde hiçbir yere kaydetmemiş bu zat, Kıbrıs’ta Türk politikalarının karşısında olduğunu açıkça belirtmiş olmasıyla tanınıyodu. Ankara’ya geldiğinde de kendi beyanatı olarak Ankara, Avrupa kokuyor demişti, sanırım havaalanındaki tezek kokusunu kasdetmemiştir.

http://www.alanmeale.co.uk/ veya http://www.alanmeale.co.uk/ veya http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/alan_meale/mansfield

Avrupa Konseyi Parlementerler Başkanı Lluis Maria De Puig ... kısa bir araştırma yapınca bu beyefendinin (yukarıdaki fotoğrafta kahkahalar içinde Ankara’nın simgesini yok eden belediye başkanı tarafından simsegi kalmadığı için Kütahya cinisi vazo verilen adam) gerçekten belirtilen görevde olduğu anlaşılıyor. Kendisi 1955’den bu yana 60’dan fazla şehrin bu ödülü almaya hak kazandığını söylüyor. Bu sene de Ankara dışında adaylar olduğunu belirtiyor. Daha önce hangi şehir ödül almış, bu sene kimler adaymış, bu ödülün vrildiğini gösterir bir Internet sitesi var mıymış ... bunlar yok ama Kütahya çinisi var. Bu zat daha önce AKP’nin kapatılmasının demokrasiye aykırı olduğu söyleyerek Türkiye’nin adalet sistemine açıkça müdahale etmiş birirdir. Aynı zat Ermenistan-Türkiye ilişkilerinde sürekli gündemdedir.

Bu arada Avrupa Konseyi eşit değildir Avrupa Birliği hatta Avrupa Birliğinin bayrağı dışında Avrupa Konseyi ile bir bağlantısı yok (http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avrupa_Konseyi) Türkiye Avrupa Konseyinin 1949’dan (1949 yılında Cumhurbaşkanı İsmet İnönü’dür) bu yana üyesidir. Yunanistan’la birlikte kurucuları dışında konseye katılan ilk ülkelerdir ve Avrupa Konseyinin kurucu üyesi sayılır. Dikkatli okuyunca anlıyoruz ki İ.Melih Beyin Avrupa ödülü dediği şey, aslında İşmet İnönü Cumhurbaşkanıyken Kurucu statüsünde üyesi olduğumuz Avrupa Konseyinin

gelişmekte olan (altını çizerim “gelişmekte olan”) kentlere verdiği bir ödüldür (http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avrupa_Yerel_ve_Bölgesel_Yönetimler_Kongresi).

Are You Treating Your Computer Better Than You Treat Yourself?

Most of us work and play at our computers. We might abuse them from time to time, but we try to take good care of them. We install virus-protection software, we carry our laptops in a special case, we reboot the computer when it’s getting slow, and so on. If something goes wrong – an odd error message, or the blue screen of death – we take action to fix it.

Do you take such good care of yourself? Or do you end up working yourself into the ground, ignoring the first symptoms of problems? Here are some dos and don’ts which are probably part of your computer’s regime: how about making them part of yours too?

Don’t ... Run Lots of Programs At Once

You know what happens if you try to run a game, a bunch of chat applications, a web browser and your graphics-editing software at once: your computer grinds to a halt.

The same can happen to you. There’s been a backlash against multi-tasking recently: experts have shown that our IQ drops when we’re distracted by doing lots of things at once, and I’m sure that all of us have experienced that feeling of jumping between too many things and leaving all of them half-done or badly done.

In some cases, you need to literally close some programs on your computer. Having your email and Twitter open while working on a report isn’t generally helpful. In the offline world, stopping multi-tasking might mean that you don’t take phone calls while cooking dinner: either the conversation or the meal will suffer!

Like a computer, you switch quickly from one task to another

Do ... Prevent Viruses Ever Taking Hold

It’s a safe bet that your computer’s running anti-virus software. (If it isn’t, you can get free software from AVG.) This prevents viruses from ever getting into your computer.

Do you take similar preventive measures about your own health? A nasty cold can knock you out of action just as effectively as a nasty virus can render your computer inoperable. Ways to prevent yourself from getting sick include:

Getting enough sleep

Eating healthily: plenty of fruit and vegetables

Taking regular exercise

Possibly taking supplements such as vitamins (ask your doctor about this)

Avoiding excessive amounts of stress, which leave you susceptible to illness

Don’t Wait Until The Battery’s Dead to Recharge

If you’ve got a laptop, you’ll know that it’s never a good idea to wait until that “low battery” warning appears before you recharge. In a worst-case scenario, you might actually lose what you’re working on. You’ll almost certainly be inconvenienced if your power fails when you’re in the middle of something.

We often push ourselves too hard, and ignore our own “low battery” signals. Take a break before you run out of energy. Go to bed before your head is drooping at your desk. Give yourself a quiet weekend before you have a nervous breakdown...

Do ... Implement Efficiency Tips

There are tons of hacks to speed up your computer and to make it run more efficiently.

There are also lots of tips which will help you work more efficiently. You can find plenty here on Dumb Little Man. Whatever area you want to improve in your life – whether it’s waking up energised each morning or simplifying and eliminating waste – you can find a guide to help you to do it.

Of course, you can read all the tips in the world, but it’s doing them which counts. You wouldn’t expect your computer to improve just because you read a copy of PC Magazine, would you? So take the same approach with yourself, and put the advice you read into action.

Don’t ... Try to Fix It All Yourself

Finally, while tips are all well and good, you wouldn’t rely on them if your computer had a serious problem. If the hard drive failed or the computer wouldn’t boot reliably, or there was a worrying metal clunking grinding sound every time you put a DVD in the drive ... you’d get an expert to look at it.

With our own lives, though, we often struggle on without seeking any help. Perhaps we think we should do it all alone, or we’re not sure who to approach, or we’re worried we might be making a fuss about nothing.

The reality is, there is nothing wrong or weak about seeking help when you need it. If you’ve got unexplained symptoms, see your doctor. If you’re suffering a lot of stress, unhappiness or anxiety, consider counseling or therapy. If you’re struggling to make changes in your life, hire a life coach. There are plenty of experts in all aspects of your body and mind who can help you when things go wrong: don’t be afraid to consult them.
