Our world educational systems in general are promoting deduction thinking. There are many ways to develop a whole brain. Here I am talking about an effective way to develop a whole brain. - Learning more foreign languages including dialects. In my previous posting I mentioned that induction thinking is thinking with pattern and deduction thinking is thinking with logic. Let take an example of a Chinese character “好being good”. It is in a picture form. Next character is “人People.” When we put these two characters together they form a new meaning “好人Good People.” It is still in a picture form. Similarly "big" symbolises a man opens his arms "大" dà. So Chinese language is a language with pattern forming. Let’s look at English words, ABC,ACB or ACD; it does not form a word. But ACE is a word. There is a lot of alphabet combination to form English words. You have to be very logical to learn those words. English language trains one to be good at logical thinking and log

Deduction 演绎(From Big to Small) Deduction: Deductive reasoning works from the zoom out view to zoom in view. For example, it starts with a theory, hypotheses forming, information gathering and then confirm the findings. Deduction method has more certainty in carry out the exploration. Thus deduction is inference by reasoning from generals to particulars. It is more of a mental process. We start with a set of possibilities and reduce it until a smaller subset remains. For example, a murder mystery is an exercise in deduction. Deduction is logic it works well with maths and language learning. Sir Charles Robert Darwin was the epitome of deduction thinker. Induction: Induction 归纳(From Small to Big) Inductive reasoning works differently, moving from zoom in view to zoom out view. For example, it begins with instinct observation, detect patterns, formulate hypotheses, exploring and observe all alternatives and come to general conclusions and theories. Induction method involves more risk and

In ancient China, a good Chinese physicist did not look for a patient; a good one did not treat a patient when the patient had cast doubt of the physicist ability. Instead a patient took initiative to seek treatment. In the religious front, a follower has to look for a teacher to get its blessing. As Swami Rama said "It is true that when a student is ready, the master appears and confers the appropriate initiation." When gurus and religious leaders start to look for their prospects their relationship won’t last. Similarly in EEG Asia, we promote our service to the world and let our clients decide, weighing the financial and time implications over better functioning brain for the rest of their lives.

PSI 98 We have no haze pollution since 2006. Now the haze comes back again. Thousand of hotspot was reported from Indonesia islands. The haze travels hundreds of mile to reach our shore carries with dust, smoke and pollutant. The PSI reaches 108, this is an unhealthy level. Symptoms of haze attack are dried throat, running nose, sneeze, coughing, irritation, more asthma attack, allergy, respiratory difficulty etc This reminds me of our EEG Biofeedback original space research project. Sterman used cats to study how the effects of rocket fuels on the alertness of cats. 50 cats were exposed to rocket fuel. Minutes later they vomited, made noise, salivated and panted. Most went into seizure. However 10 of Sterman EEG trained cats, 7 of them showed significantly delayed the onset of seizure and 3 of them showed no fit at all. Brainwave training had raised their seizure threshold. When a brain shows instability, SLOW DOWN. Slow down all outdoor activities. This also upsets my running routine

'Princess' Susan Boyle "Susan Boyle says she feels like a princess after overcoming her childhood bullying to become an international singing sensation." - msn.com She explained to talk show host Oprah Winfrey: 'I was hyperactive at school. I used the chase after them!' Having Hyperactive can be advantages in life. Now Susan Boyle is a popular international singer. Learn to know oneself and explore a hidden talent. Build Self Confidence to grow. "What you do is you do well in something and you try and gain their respect in some way, and that's what I was trying to do with my singing." - Susan Boyle Beware of fame Susan. It may be 100 times more difficult to cope with success as compared to your childhood bully and hyperactivity. The world needs to slow down, the civilisation needs to slow down. The world needs more awakened people like Susan Boyle.

Expand Your Horizon - The ultimate solution When children and teenagers come to me, visit me once a week for one year long brain training and mind coaching. They should see the transformation of their brain performance and learning styles. In ancient China, scholars learned best in one is to one coaching. These scholars were good at many things ie sport, martial art, poetry just to name a few of their talents. In modern time here in EEG Asia, I would not offer subject based training because I am not a subject expert. Instead, I offer generic brain level training and mind coaching. With the training and coaching, these children and teenager will see transformation in their brain performance. They would learn new knowledge and skills in effortless ways. Brain training involves brain functionality training; specific modules of the brain will be enhanced. Synchronicity of a brain and balancing of a brain make a better brain. Mind Coaching looks at a whole brain and the interaction between

What is Personality? Personality is defined as the totality of character attributes and behavioral traits of a person. Personality Analysis is a methodology for categorizing the character and behavior of a person. It is very interesting to know that when two persons with opposite personality traits stay together, work together for a period of time. Relations will go sour. The relation can be friends’ relation, husband and wife relation, or business associates. What are potential areas or hot spots which spark the conflict? I can name a few reasons: - Character differences - Upbringing differences - Personal habit differences - Lacking common goals - Too judgemental - Passing unfair comment on others What can we do about it to sort out those differences? This is a very challenging situation. Be more accommodating to each other. When conflicts become severe, normally after discussion, quiet period, reconciliation and counseling, the logical solution is to stay apart. “Men's natures a

I like this comment: "A genious is a person who has escaped the clutchings and conditionings, machinations, etc. of his society. He is born and went through the system but knows what is being done to him. From time to time, we get that person popping out, completely unscatched through the system.." - Anonymous How I see Genius and Ordinary people? I see them in terms of their ability in managing emotion. Here is my list of looping cycle: Schizophrenia (go by looping circle) Bipolar Autistic (low functional Asperger) Genius Asperger ADHD/ADD Dyslexic Awakened people with high performance mind (not necessary religious people) Ordinary people (fall into 95% percentile of a population) Schizophrenia (in looping circle) The ability of managing emotion affects our normal daily life. Do we want to be a genius or ordinary people? For Genius people their neurons are firing too aggressively hence emotional burn out is common for these groups of people. So the in-between categories are

Feeling good is different from being happy. Feeling good may have negative effects, feeling good can be addictive but be happy would not have negative effects. People tend to relate all good feeling via engaging physical senses as happiness. There are many things, events and people that make us feel good. The feeling good effects can have good and bad side effects. We feel good by taking coffee in the morning, enjoy wine at night or smoking a whole day. We feel good after buying a new car. We feel good by meeting nice people. We feel good by attending F1 race event or attending a fabulous function or foods and so on. Very soon feel good sensation will go away with the passage of events,time, people and things. Feeling good is a result of an acion or activity or possesion. If we are not careful the craving sensation of feeling good may lead us addictive to certain life styles or habits. Being happy is a state of mind or contentment. It worths investing a little time and effort for a las

Why a change in behavioural pattern is so difficult? In order for a change to take place it requires a change in intention setting, a change in thinking. A change in thinking may require a person goes through scenario analysis, weighing all pros and cons, seeing options available. Study inner strength & weakness, external threat & opportunity. "Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better." - King Whitney Jr.
