No one is dumb ?
Many people think of the brain as a mystery. We don’t often think about what intelligence is
or how it works. And when you do think about what intelligence is, you might think that a
person is born either smart, average, or dumb—either a “math person” or not—and stays that
way for life.
But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle— it changes and gets stronger when you use it. Scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger
when you learn.
Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100
pounds after working out for a long time. That’s because muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink and you get weaker. That’s why people say “Use it or lose it!”
But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain
change and get larger, a lot like the muscles do. This is true even for adults. So it’s not true
that some people are stuck being “not smart” or “not math people.” You can improve your
abilities a lot, as long as you practice and use good strategies.
Well nothing new here , it's like in the bike. You can have the Genes to do it but if you are not trainned you bonk. If you work you inprove from one year to the next.
