According to the TED talk video, it showed me a new way to think about my brain. It is a truth that our brain are changing everytime, like when we learn some new skills, when we read some books… We learn new staff and think all the time, our brain change. Every time when we learn new things or skills, that called neuroplasticity, it help us to be a better person, because since we know that thing we can practice skills that we good at. And we can also try new things or give up some parts that we are not good at.
The speaker, Dr. Lara Boyd also said, ” The best driver of neuroplastic change in your brain is your behavior.” We are acting all the time, so change our behavior I think it’s not a big deal, but keep doing that and make it become a habit, is kind of difficult to do. For example, there is a person who do not know how to speak English and one day he need to learn how to speak it, so he try to memorize 50 English words every day. Well, he never memorize English words untill that day, maybe it is easy to do that on the first day, sencond day or third day. But after a week, there might be some “give up” ideas show in his brain, because it doesn’t become into a habit. If he keep doing that for a month, I think when there is one day he do not memorize English words, he will feel weird, because he already be used to do that. That is how our behavior change, it takes time. In real life, that is the truth. If we want to become better or learn a new skill, what can we do? The answer is practice. ” Practice makes perfect.” Every time you see someone is very good at doing something, you can admire them, but also you should think how much time do they spend on practicing it. And we also need know there are many differences from person to person. Maybe we are not good at sport, but we show our talent on painting, then we can carry forward the advantages and learn more about art.
Our brain has infinite creative power, it’s waitting for us to discover it, to arouse potential, and to make it better. The way we can change our brain and become better is keep learing and practicing, face to the difference between you and others, keep doing right things, you will succeed.
