  • - [Instructor] So this is your brain, say hi.

  • Okay, it's a representation of your brain.

  • Brains don't have hands, they have lobes

  • and other structures which we'll get to.

  • But I wanna talk to you about your brain.

  • You see, your brain is capable of incredible things

  • but I think a lot of times, we can feel pretty down

  • on our brains, on ol' Thinky Pinky here.

  • We beat up on him, say bad things

  • about our brain's abilities.

  • Say, we have trouble understanding a subject in school

  • or solving problems or learning a new skill.

  • It's easy to say, oh I'm not smart.

  • I'll always be this way.

  • Hey, stop doing that.

  • What we think of as intelligence,

  • what we think of as smartness, is not fixed,

  • is not stuck in one place, is not permanent.

  • Your brain can improve.

  • Your brain can grow.

  • Come with me on a journey of discovery!

  • Here we go, into the brain.

  • Excuse me, coming in hot.

  • This is a thing called a neuron.

  • Oh hey, welcome to the inside of your brain.

  • A neuron is a brain cell.

  • There's over a 100 billion of these things

  • making up your brain.

  • Put it this way, there are over 13 times more neurons

  • in your skull than there are human beings on Earth.

  • Lot of 'em.

  • They're the cells that help you think.

  • Mind you, a single neuron, and let's call her Nellie,

  • hi Nellie the neuron, Nellie on her own

  • can't do all the thinking your brain needs

  • to even pick up a glass of water.

  • Fortunately she's got friends.

  • There's dendrite Dave, there's Alonzo the axon,

  • there's Magna myelin, and look little Sally synapse.

  • So teensy tiny.

  • Your brain behaves like a muscle.

  • If you're serious about lifting weights, right,

  • and you keep it up on a regular basis

  • for a long period of time, weeks, months, years,

  • you're gonna develop muscles.

  • But you don't grow muscles by doing nothing.

  • It takes effort, it takes struggle,

  • repeated failures in fact.

  • You mess up and then you learn,

  • and then eventually you manage to jump the log

  • or whatever problem you're trying to solve.

  • Wait, we've lost focus here, back to neurons.

  • When you struggle your neurons are struggling too,

  • and that's important because when neurons struggle,

  • they lean on each other.

  • They make connections, they start to form

  • this densely connected network inside your brain

  • allowing little jolts of electricity to pass down them

  • more and more efficiently.

  • That's thinking faster, that's your brain getting smarter.

  • That's your brain muscle gettin' swole kid.

  • So the next time you say to yourself

  • I can't do this, I'm just too dense,

  • remember that brain density is your friend.

  • If fact the denser you are the more connections

  • between Nellie and her neuron pals that you got

  • inside your brain, the stronger and more powerful

  • your thinking parts become.

  • The more you work through your frustrations

  • with the right learning strategies, the more your neurons

  • get more used to working together,

  • the closer you are to being that much smarter.

  • Now get out there and do your best.

  • Don't give up, grow those brains, and remember,

  • you can learn anything.
