Juice of the Brain!!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

30 December 2010.. Today in BeST programme, we continued on yesterday topic, creativity and innovation. Today, we discussed on the functions of the brain. Just like we all already know, our brains consist of 2 parts, left and right. The left brain mainly controlled the logical meanwhile the right brain handles the the creative thinking and believe it or not, most people are left brainers. How can we 'activate' the right brain? One of the methods is by remembering our dreams. According to Mr Barjoyai, every night we'll dreamed and there are about 8 dreams per night. However, we usually only remembered the last chapter before we wake up. Then, what if we can't even remember even one episode of the dream? Sorry to say but we might have lost control of our right brain (I also have that problem). So how can we cure it? Easy! Everyday before you went to sleep, wish to yourself that you want to remember the dreams for the night and the next day, right when you wake up, try to remember the dreams. Insyaallah, we can improve the ability of our right brain.

Other than that, we also learned on the Seven Hat Thinking, an approach to the balanced thinking. The seven hats are white (facts), red (emotions), black (negative), yellow (positive), green (creative), blue (solution) and grey (religious) hats. These seven hats can help us to get right away from argument in order to get more productive discussions.

Today is the last day for two of our BeST family, Sabrina and Ezwan as they already been called for jobs starting this January. We wish them best of lucks in their career and hope they won't forget us here. We're gonna miss both of you.

This morning, the prime minister had announced that Friday, 31 December 2010 had been declared as public holiday after the victory of Malaysia's team in winning the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010. So I decided to went back to my hometown. We had a great day today and I pray for tomorrow will be even better. Insyallah..

Wassalam..
