What if I were to tell you that in just one year from now, your IQ could be double what it is today? And what if I told you that all you needed to do was perform a simple daily exercise that would make it happen? In fact, there is strong evidence[证据] that by doing this one simple exercise, you can dramatically[引人注目地] increase your IQ — and even make yourself a genius! So what is this simple, easy and fantastic “genius exercise”? This: keep a daily journal or dairy. Every day, or several times a day, write down all your thoughts on paper. Do it faithfully for one complete year, and you will rapidly grow more intelligent.
Consider:
A study determined that only 1% of the world’s population
habitually[习惯性地] engaged[使从事于] in daily journal writing.
The study also found that that same 1% were
almost always super high achievers, and that they
almost always lived longer than the average for their time.
Thomas Edison wrote an incredible[难以置信的] 3 million pages of notes, letters and personal thoughts in
hundreds of personal journals throughout his life.
When he was a young man, Albert Einstein took a young woman sailing for a date. The date didn’t go very well. The young woman was frustrated[失落的]
because Einstein hardly said a word to her — but instead spent the whole day scribbling[潦草地写] in a small journal he carried with him.
Now here’s some more good news: to get all of the IQ building effects of daily journaling, you don’t even have to write down anything that is even coherent[有条理的]!
In fact, the best method to build your IQ seems to be carrying your journal with you throughout the day, and writing down any random[任意的] thoughts as they come into your head. Now an added bonus[额外收获]: keeping a daily “random thoughts” journal will not only make you smarter, but may also increase your life span[时距]! The evidence for this comes from a study of a group of unique[独特的] nuns in Mankato, Minnesota.
The nuns are unique because just about all of them live well past the average age of death for women in Minnesota. Most of them live well into their 90s, and some top the 100-year mark. What do the sisters all have in common? That’s right — they are all journal keepers. Keeping a journal is a requirement of their
particular order. And yes, a study of the nuns’ IQs showed that they were all well above average. Of course, there were other variables[可变的事物] in the nuns’ clean and serene[平静的] lifestyle that most likely
contributed to[促成某事] their intelligence and long life —
but journal keeping is the one key element they all had in
common.
So, buy a notebook, get a pen and carry them wherever you go. Jot down[草草记下] your random thoughts, reflect[细想] upon what you write, and soon, you’ll be enjoying your new super-powered IQ!
假如我告诉你从现在起只需一年，你的智商将会比现在高一倍，你相信吗？那么，如果我告诉你你所需要做的只是每天进行一项简单的训练就可以梦想成真呢？事实上，有充分证据证明只要坚持这个简单的训练，你的智商就能得到显著提高——甚至把自己变成一名天才！那么，这个简易又绝妙的“天才练习”究竟是什么呢？那就是：写日志或日记。每天，或者一天多次，把你所有的想法都写在纸上。踏踏实实地坚持一整年，你的智力将会飞快地增长。
请看：
一项调查指出，全世界只有百分之一的人有每天写日志的习惯。调查还表明这百分之一的人几乎总是超高水准实现目标的人，而且他们的寿命几乎都比当时的平均年龄要长。
托马斯·爱迪生在他一生中写下了令人难以置信的三百万页笔记和信件，还把自己的想法记在数百本个人日志中。
艾伯特·爱因斯坦年轻时曾与一位少女出海约会。约会并不顺利。那位少女很沮丧，因为爱因斯坦几乎没跟她说话——却花了一整天在随身携带的小日志上写写画画。
这里还有一些好消息：想得到写日志的全部智商增长效应，你写下的东西甚至不需要前后连贯！事实上，提高智商的最好方法似乎就是全天都把日志带在身上，随时记下脑袋里出现的任何想法。现在再加一个额外奖励：坚持记录“随意想法”的日志不但能使你更加聪明，而且还可能延长你的寿命！这个说法的依据来自一项对（美国）明尼苏达州曼凯托一群特别的修女的调查。
这群修女的特别之处在于她们当中差不多所有人都超过明尼苏达州女性平均死亡年龄。当中很多人活到九十多岁，有些甚至达一百岁。这些修女都有什么共同之处？没错——她们都有写日记。写日志是她们特殊的生活规律中必须做的。是的，一份关于这些修女智商的调查显示她们的智商都超出平均水平。当然，这里也有其它因素：修女们的高智商和长寿很大可能归功于她们整洁安宁的生活方式——但写日志是她们共有的一个重要元素。
那么，买本笔记本，带上一支笔，无论去哪里都把它们随身带着。记下你随意的想法，仔细想一下所写的东西，很快你将会享受到新的超级智商带来的乐趣！
