Thrive on Learning and Mental Challenges. The point of having a brain is precisely to learn and to adapt to challenging new environments. Once new neurons appear in your brain, where they stay in your brain and how long they survive depends on how you use them. “Use It or Lose It” does not mean “do crossword puzzle number 1,234,567″. It means, “challenge your brain often with fundamentally new activities”.
5. 喜欢学习和脑力挑战。 大脑存在的原因就是去学习和适应新环境的挑战。一旦新的神经元出现在你的大脑，它们待在脑中哪里存活多久取决于你怎么使用它们。“使用它或失去它”并不等于“做纵横填字数字游戏1，234，567”。 它意味着，“用根本新的活动来挑战你的大脑”。
