Your mind is open and free. Free as to think whatever it wants, with your expressive permission of course. You are your mind, and your mind is all of you. It is a window into all that is thought, and uses the physical attributes of your brain to function.

You can't pick up a mind, toss it into a jar, and label it. Humans are conscious beings. We share a common experience of a sense of self, of conscious awareness - a trait some believe is uniquely human - yet the quest to explain consciousness is one of the last remaining great adventures of science and philosophy.

		Brain Power				Logic
		Do you often hear people saying that their memories are becoming worse and worse as they grow up? How do you feel about this problem? Is it really that our memories are deteriorating? Is there anything we can do to treat this problem? In fact, every one of us has the ability to recall our brain and the potential to stretch our mind. This is what is called as brain power. If we don't use our brain, our brain is going to get rusty. Therefore we need to use it and challenge it everyday in your life. Our brain will remain creative and efficient only if we use it in the best way and keep it in a good shape.				If = , then + = + This is one of the examples of logic. I just want to give you a basic idea of what "logic" really is. I bet everyone understand how did the above example work out, right?
		Creativity				Dreams & Sleep
		Everyone of us are born to be creative, are born to have unlimited potential for creating. But as we grow up, we give away more and more of our creative potential. As a child, we lose up to 75% of our creativity. By the time we are 40, we are nearly expressing less than 2% of the measurable creativity we demonstrated as children. Therefore, we must reawaken our ability to be creative with practice and encouragement, which are not familiar to most of us. When you are being creative, you are not necessarily doing something that no one else have done before, yet you are doing something we have never done it before.				Everyone needs to sleep. We can't live without sleep. How much do you know about sleep? What is the purpose of sleep? During sleep, our mind always seems to unfold a story or some other events. What are they? These episodes are generally called dreams. Everyone dreams, not only human beings do, but also in other mammals including dogs, elephants and monkeys. What are dreams signifying? Why do we have dreams? How do we dream? These questions have puzzled mankind and have not yet been clarified for over hundreds of years.
		Memory				Senses
		Ah, memories...the places and faces of the past that make us say, "those were the days". But wait, that's not what memory is all about. There are other types of memory, like remembering your e-mail address, a song, and even walking. Now, knowing how to walk seems kind of common sense and automatic right? It doesn't even appear like we actually need to remember that. Yet, this process had to be learned, which brings up another aspect of memory - it is crucial to learning. So what exactly is memory? How do we remember? And what the heck does it have to do with learning? Hmm . . . so many questions I will have to remember to answer.				What is sense? It is a faculty, which external and internal stimuli are sent to the brain, where they are expressed as sensations. We, humans know and learn more about the world through our senses. Basically, the five special senses that we commonly know are sight, sound, smell, taste and touch respectively. All of them are concerned with the outer world, in which external stimuli are received and conducted by sensory receptors in the eye, the ear, the nose and the taste buds on the tongue. How do they work in the brain? What is the sensory receptor for?
		Moods & Emotion				Aging of the Mind
		We, human beings have the ability to explain, to remember, to learn and to make ideas or decisions. Our mind is able to lead us to reach our goals. Human beings are motivated by different feelings. Yet these feelings are motivating human in different ways. As I have mentioned before, our mind can lead us to reach our goals, in other words, we are motivated by reason and intelligence. But desires and passions can also motivated us powerfully, yet in a different way that reason and intelligence do.				As the brain ages, our thinking, memory, and learning, among other things, are often affected. It becomes more difficult to grasp new concepts or retrieve old ones. Moreover, our senses begin to deteriorate - vision becomes less clear, smell becomes less sensitive, and hearing degenerates. So what can we do to keep our minds healthy and "young"?
