Enjoy what you are learning and doing.......

You learn the most from things that you like to do and learn.You don't even know time has passed.
Einstein used to say " I forget to eat lunch as I am so engrossed in my work". It is also important to be passionate towards many things in life such a simple home prepared meal with some of your favourite foods. When a blind beetle  crawls over a surface of a curved branch, it doesn't notice that the track is curved. Einstein was lucky enough to notice what the beetle didn't notice. So do some
of your favourite things and some new things- It's very good for the brain.
Remember that the brain has many purposes.


 Have a great week ----- Hippo
