Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #11: Engage in Personal Experiments with the World Around You.
   Do not rely fully on the experiments of scientists, or the word of the media. Science although very valuable to society, is not perfect. Science is run by scientists with their own biases and expectations, and their own careers to run. They are biased to finding what they want to find just as much as you’re biased to want to succeed in your own life. In the long run science takes us in the right direction, but the most recent findings should be taken in somewhat skeptically. Rather than rely fully on the new findings of scientists and the media, who use populations that may not even represent you (often rats or college students), you can run your own experiments. It is as simply as trial and error. Try something and see if it works. Start small, don’t risk too much on your personal experiments.
   
   The world is constantly changing and evolving, and everyone is in such a unique circumstance, that you may be better off testing for yourself what works and what doesn’t, rather than reading what worked for other people who could be completely different from you. When you experiment, continue to try different things. Take mental or written notes on what works more often, and what doesn’t work. When you figure out one problem, move on to the next experiment. It is fun, entertaining, and you will learn fast from it. Finding interesting experiments to perform in your daily life can be quite interesting and rewarding.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #10: Be Aware of Where Your Advice is Coming From.
   It is human nature to want to give advice and help others. It makes us feel important and good, much of the time. We have to be careful who we take advice from, as not all advice is good. In general, you can figure that if the advice is too general then it isn’t really all that useful anyway. If you receive advice that is very specific, or very radical in some way, you should be careful in how you proceed. That kind of advice should only be considered from an expert, or someone with tremendous experience in an area. If there is a possibility for negative consequences, be even more careful with the advice. Advice that is fairly mild, probably doesn’t makes much of a difference. You’ve probably heard it before anyway. Be kind, be helpful, eat well, etc.
   
   Always keep in mind where the advice is coming from. The people you can trust the most are those with great experience and great success. Often times, these people are too busy to give much advice, and you have to learn from their actions rather than their words. Either way, remember that every situation is different. Think it through for yourself and decide if any advice is worth pursuing. If it is, it is your choice entirely. The person who gave you the advice cannot be expected to help with any negative outcomes that arise from your taking the advice.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #9: Read a Wide Range of Material, and Learn Broadly.
   Even if you goal is to be an expert in one field, the world is becoming increasingly multidisciplinary. The people that make the greatest breakthrough discoveries often have some understanding of other fields. Einstein was a fantastic violinist in addition to being a leading physicist, for example. Often, what holds back some of the world’s experts is that they become so fixated on a narrow subarea within their field, and they don’t learn and grow in other areas.
   
   This can be a mistake, because the world is naturally all interrelated. Biology and physics are related, Physics and math are related. Math and music are related. And music and sculpture are related. You get the idea. You can even make the jump that biology and sculpture are interrelated, as da Vinci did, one of the greatest artists, inventors, engineers, and polymaths of all time. He used this understanding of human anatomy to make his paintings and sculptures more vivid and real, and this is what captured people’s imaginations when they saw his work,. Imagine if he hadn’t learned broadly. He may have never become the great artists that we’ve all heard of.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #8: The Knowledge You Acquire On Your Own Is The Most Valuable.
   Geniuses don’t wait around for information to fall on their laps. They also don’t rely on one source to tell them everything. For example, they will not just listen to one news station and wait for the information to come to them through that one channel. A genius will pursue all kinds of ways of finding knowledge. They will ask questions and do research to find answers. When they find a direct answer to the question given by an expert, they will not necessarily believe the response without further evidence. They will seek more and more information to see if hey truly understand what they think they understand. The knowledge that you seek out and work to find and learn is the most useful and helpful of all. If it comes to you in a pamphlet or through a media station and finds you, then you are more likely to take it in passively and not make must use of it. Also, of course, information that find you is more likely to be biased. The best you can do is seek out the answers to your own questions.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #7: Intelligence and Learning Habits Can Always be Improved.
   Intelligence and IQ are very misunderstood concepts. Intelligence is a complex human attribute that can’t be perfectly defined or perfectly measured. The problem with IQ s that it appears to be an authoritative measurement by psychologists. However, IQ is far from authoritative. It is really just one way to view intelligence. IQ is not a terrible measurement of intelligence, it is not just fully accurate. By presenting the intelligence of a person as one number, we run the risk of limiting our potential. A single number also implies permanence, leading to false views of intelligence. It used to be believed that intelligence was mostly genetic, but this is not the case. Intelligence can be improved, depending on how you choose to use your brain.
   
   The newer research emphasizes the plasticity of the brain. The means that the brain itself is a modifiable structure. The more you use it and challenge it, the more you can build on your intellect. If you give up and you believe you have a limited intelligence, then you won’t improve it.
   
   Stephen Hawking is commonly regarded as a genius for his work in physics and black holes. He was once asked what his IQ was. His reply was: “I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.” He clearly doesn’t puyt too much significance on the number. He doesn’t even know his own IQ. But the real takeaway message is that when you are a true genius and have true accomplishments, IQ becomes revealed for what it is. That is, just another number.
