The Neck-top PC
One million GB neck-top PC
• Brain is like a super computer but
without an instruction manual
– The brain is made of billions of neurons
– The efficiency of the brain is not in its size
but on the number of connections that
the neurons make
– Brain is not naturally hard wired; it can be
evolved

• Our brain is structured to absorb and
engage novel information
– When we stop learning, we are left only
with living in routine
• We need to upgrade our brain
• When we stop learning, it becomes hardwired,
riddled with automatic programs.

Self motivation

To have positive relationship with others
How to use/control Self Talk
1) Positive – Use affirmations daily. Talk to yourself
very positively. Have ready made statements. Use
‘law of repetition’
2) Negative - Rubber-Band Snap: A trick is to walk
around with a rubber band around your wrist; as you
notice negative self-talk, pull the band away from your
skin and let it snap back. It’ll hurt a little, and serve as a
slightly negative consequence that will both make you
more aware of your thoughts, and help to stop them!
3) General – Practice silence
Let us discuss

words like money
