Right Brain Vs Left Brain



Last night I went to mamak stall with some Debat Alam Sekitar 2009 committee members and when we arrived at the stall, they were already playing some games that I don't know what it's called. From my observations, the games were responded very well from the women and the female type of male-pondan la tu-.....We, pure male are actually having some difficulties in tracing the connections on how the game was played whereas the female and sissies were doing it great. I was not saying that the pure man couldn't do it but last night I only saw 2 or 3 of them that saw the "how" the game played.



The question is, why is it difficult for man to discover the how part of the game while the female do it very efficiently? The only answer that I can figure out is they have different way of thinking process. I am not taking any advance medical course so my answer is basically grounded on the books I've read, online material, newspaper and some discussions. The basic knowledge is that women used right side of the brain more than their left part while men used their left side of the brain rather than the right side.



What are the differences between these two brains? Well, I do know some biological differences and it kind of important in this post but I don't remember the name of some brain parts. So I just proceed with what this two brains do and in other post when I got my book back I will make another entry related to this. As some of you might now, right brain deal with feelings, emotions and most importantly big picture oriented. There are a lot more things that I could describe here but it won't be necessary for this entry. While the left brain that functions on men better than women deal with logics, details oriented and the facts.



Now if we see the details, I know that my answer about the difference in thinking process is not wrong just a little bit inaccurate which will be touch up by you guys with the comments later. If you can see the connections between the women and the game I stated earlier than it is good and something that you can be proud of but if you don't, don't worry. There is no such thing as you are bad or something like that in this post. The connection is women interpret the big picture into details while men combine the details to create a big picture.

Still don't understand?Erm...let say you want to solve a crime case. Right brain dominant will try to get the general idea about what happen at the crime scene before they look at the detail on what's going on at the scene. A bit different on people who are left brain dominant. They will try to deduce what is going on by looking at the details contain at the crime scene. Basically, the right brain try to prove their theory by looking at the facts while the left brain try to deduce a theory after they have look at the facts. I think I'll stop for now and will continue this later. Thanks for reading.

Genghis + The Great Wall







From the title, I guess you guys has your opinion view about both things display on the title. For those who don't know, Genghis or famously known as Genghis Khan was the emperor,the ruler and the founder of Mongol Empire. During his life (1162-1227), his empire stretched from Black Sea to the Pacific Ocean. While The Great Wall is the wall made during the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. This wall is said can be seen from the moon. I don't know how true is that but considering the size of this 'object' which is 6400km long I certainly sure that it can be seen from the moon.


The reason why I chose that title is because the genghis and the great wall are 2 books that i read recently....I don't think that you guys like to read this kind of book cause it is so historic and full of fact..Yeah, I know most of us don't like history during our high school, that includes me..but when I feel the wonders of knowledge, I feel like I should read this kind of books. I don't know but sometimes I do use the knowledge inside these books to start a conversation...especially with women..=)


It's hard to just say right? Because you guys wouldn't believe it..Here's example, when you meet a girl, ask her about her roommate or family..notice the expression that she use..I certainly believe that when she feel happy about her family or roommate, she will express it..It's hard for a woman to control their feeling while speaking. This is all happen because of the difference in the structure of the brain between man and woman..And I wouldn't know this if I don't read a book related to this. So, do you or do you don't think that reading is good to gain knowledge? The fact that you are willing to read this post until here means you are eager to know what does this post have...Now, why don't you use that eager to know something into something else? Study perhaps?

Reading As Way to Improve Yourself


In this post, I want to highlight how important reading is. Reading is a cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic message (definition from wordweb dictionary). Imagine what you can actually know from a single, simple book. For me, I started to read when I was three years old (read, not talk). When I when to kindergarten at 5, I was able to spell and read many things while my friends at that time couldn't even remember what came after T alphabet.

I remember that during my childhood, I love to read story books, especially about animal, facts and math. When I read a book about animal, it said that tiger is carnivor. They it meat. Tiger has stripes in it's back. It also has sharp claws. It lives in jungles. I think if I had not read that book, I wouldn't able to tell which was the tiger when me and my friends in kindergarten when to zoo together. Also if I don't read, I did not know the answer for who was the creator of telephone..which the answer was Alexander Graham Bell. If I don't read also I can't answer why Japanese people are able to achieve their level now.

I sure that everyone has their own opinion about reading and I'm just one from the everyone. Reading help me to understand human nature the most and because of reading, I am able to stand where I was now. To parents to be, please make sure that your child do read, because reading develop your own way of thinking.

For those who want to start reading, you should find out what type of books interest you. It can be biography, crime, novel, history, science and many more. By finding what you can now proceed to how. Learn how to read correctly, not just read that book until you feel tired or bored. You can learn techniques on how to read in many website on the internet. Then proceed to when. In this process, find the time you feel most comfortable to read and make sure you read everytime the time comes by. For me I read when I bored so when I get bored, I either grab a book or search something on the Internet. You should also find a proper condition for you to read without any disturbance from anywhere.

I guess that's all from me now. I hope some part of me really want to change by doing this. "I change not because I have to, but because I want to". That was some quote that someone give it to me so that you don't feel really down just because you want to change.




If you want to change the world, you should start changing yourself.
The most powerful weapon of all time is human brain.
Read: In the name of thy Lord, who createth. Createth men from a clot. Read: And thy Lord is the most Bounteous. Who teacheth by the pen. Theacheth man that which be knew not.
(Al-Quran, 96:5)

Easy Way of Learning?


I just finished reviewing what's inside the physorg.com and I found out one article that interest me...the title is "Magnetic Brain Stimulation Improves Skill Learning"....the title itself attract the readers especially a young student like me and of course some parents who want their children to be successful...

I wonder if this method can be used in our country...well if you ask me why I want to use it, it's because by improving young students learning skills, we can avoid many bigger problems that we have right now...in our country, it is common to see the parents sent their child to kindergarten just to improve their children's ability and guarantee their places in the society...

Well the truth is, every parents are different and so do their children's brain..as the children grow up, some of them may have difficulty in learning and some of them are not..children with this problem tends to run away from learning process and become a rebellion or delinquent....

From here we can see that if somehow the children's learning difficulty can actually be solved, we can have a lot of benefit :

  1. Relieves their parents headache due to problems created at school.
  2. Bullying, hitting and other crime associated with students will eventually decrease.
  3. Mat Rempit, drug addicts and underage sex will be less likely to interest the students anymore.
  4. Our country will have a lot more wise people that the criminal. Perhaps we can even have geniuses born and be the leading country,
  5. We can have a higher technology from any other country in the world.

I can list many more benefits that we can have if learning difficulty among children can be solved..my point here is if we want to change the country we have now, we must start educate young people today properly because they are the future generation and also the future leader..so if by diminishing the effect of learning difficulty among children and students may results in a better country and environment, why don't we try it? Not by the magnetic thing but by other method if possible..I think you are old enough to understand what the methods are...I guess until here cause I need to go somewhere else after this..Thanks for reading this long and boring post..
