Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #26: When You Come Across A Word Or Term You Do Not Know, Look It Up.
   We live in an age where we have the privilege to look anything up in mere seconds. Many people have quick access to great resources in their own home. Some of the best resources are a dictionary, a thesaurus, an Wikipedia (or a general encyclopedia as a substitute). Of course, if you don’t have these in your own home, you can find them at a library. Vocabulary is closely linked to intelligence, and there is a clear reason for this. The more words and terms you know, the easier it is to understand new concepts and ideas. Learn new words so you can expand you learning and your understanding.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #25: Exercise You Brain by Acting as if Everything is Important.
   Everything you do and every experience you have is potentially important. Everything everyone says is potentially vital, and if you were more focused on thinking of a television show you wanted to watch later, you could miss it. By considering everything as important, you may learn more.. People with photographic memories often describe a feeling that in their minds nothing is ever less or more important than something else. Because of this they are able to remember everything exactly as it happened.
   
   Usually, our brains naturally tell us that X information is important, and Y isn’t. In this case, X might be a new work assignment, and Y might be choosing if you want to eat cereal or oatmeal for breakfast. Most of the time what your brain decides is probably correct. Some things are more important than others, naturally. But every once in a while you can be wrong, and something that you thought was important actually was not, or vice versa. Try acting as if everything is potentially important for one day, and see how it affects your thinking.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #24: Be Aware of Your Surroundings.
   Although Sherlock Holmes is fictional, he is an interesting character to see in action. Many times he notices something present that does not fit with the expected context. Other times, he find something absent that normally should be present in a given context. He observes very carefully, very analytically, and sees things most people would miss. You really never know what you can miss if you aren’t looking around. Most of us get so caught up in our own lives that we fail to “smell the roses”, as they say. Being more aware of your surroundings is good for your survival, and maybe even for finding unexpected gems. Perhaps you’ll notice a new restaurant you missed, or see a baby smiling at you, or see an old friend you almost didn’t notice. Life isn’t always all work. Take a moment to look around and learn from what the world has to show you.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #23: If You Often Think Abstractly, Consider the Concrete Tangible Reality. If You Often Think Concretely, Consider the World of Ideas.
   It may be most useful to bridge the two styles. Most of us actually have a tendency toward one of the other. It may have to do with out upbringing. If you grew up in a house of professors, you are probably used to thinking in concepts. If you grew up in a house of farmers, you may be more used to dealing with real world things, like animals and plants. Both ways are important to getting along in the world. Tangible things make up reality, and so we have to be familiar with them and know how they work. Abstract concepts and ideas help us understand broader areas more quickly, without needing to literally see them or touch them. When we use both ways of thinking, we acquire a more accurate view of the real world for what it is.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #22: All the Thoughts and Planning in the World are of Limited Use.
   There are too many variables for anyone to truly know the outcome of almost any event. Something that seems like it should fail often succeeds. And something that seems like it should work often does not. Planning and thinking ahead are good to do. They help us be prepared. Sometimes, however, people find comfort in thinking more and more, and analyzing possibilities more and more, and they get caught in a rut. Rather than progressing and stepping out into the real world and risk making mistakes, they stay in their comfort zone, and delay action.
   
   We need to catch ourselves if we enter such a rut. We need to see it for what it is and push ourselves to try something, and to accept whatever outcome happens. Of course, if the stakes are super high and it is a matter of life and death, it is probably wise to have a complete plan from beginning to end to make sure no unforeseen problems arise. In other cases, remember that there is always a lot to learn from trying something and making a mistake, and then making corrections as we go.
