Do you wish you could think faster, remember more?...

Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

Do you wish you could think faster, remember more?... I am all about this... I watch and try to identify hidden meaning in people's conversation.

www.endrebarath.com

Why did they say that? How can I understand that? Well, I consider myself a successful Beverly Hills Realtor and it is because I watch what people say, what people do and how they react when I speak.

www.endrebarath.com

What do I do? I try to use my brain more efficiently. These days of increasing your brain power is not a trick it is an absolute necessity.

Most of you might recall reading or hearing that most humans only use 10 per cent of their brains. This is such a scary thought, as far as I am concerned.

Why are we not good at remembering things? Why are we not faster thinkers? Why are we not better at understanding things? Why do we not use only 10 per cent of our brains?

It is a lesson we must learn and work at, would you believe if you just have paid attention to what the other person was saying and not being distracted by things around you could have doubled your memory of the conversation.

It is called focused listening and paying attention. I am not suggesting doubling or triple your brain power, jut do a little more every day and you will be amazed at the results.

Love this and agree wholeheartedly with you - I ALWAYS try to read between the lines, Endre!! Actively, INTENTIONALLY listening is key to success in life - in business, in relationships, in everything

Alzheimer's runs in my family and having watched family members suffer with it - and even more difficult to watch is the family members who care for those with Alzheimer's. That said, I have always been all about 'brain teasers,' puzzles and reading everything I can get my hands on and doing it as much as I can possibly do in a 24-hour period. It's scary - not for me but, for my husband and my boys. Keeping your brain active, I believe, is the key to longevity. While it doesn't always help avoid that dreaded disease, I believe doing all we can to keep our brains active HAS to help to some degree! 

Great post and thank YOU for being a great listener, my friend!

If the general public only realized how many Realtor's had A.D.D. and do not even come close to be able to practice focused (anything) listening.

BTW, I hope we can meet in person when I come to Anaheim in November for the National Association of Realtor's conference!

Great points! I find that people aren't listening, with looking at their phone every 5 seconds.

I had a person I would purposefully say something off the wall, and the person never even blinked. Obviously they never listened to anything.

In this world of "instant" everything, focused listening and attention is becoming a thing of the past.

I am getting to the age...where I should be paying attention to this!  Maybe I should go back to crosswords...!  I have been reading more and of course, doing my artwork.  The brain needs workouts, just like the body!

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. - Somehow, I missed this post.  I have always wondered how some people have perfect recall.  It blows my mind to think that you can remember every detail every second of the day.

Hi Endre:

In answer to your question...yes, I wish I could think faster (sometimes) and remember more. Focused listening is always work in progress for me. I enjoy things that challenge me to use my brain and as I get older this is more and more important to me.

So many people are thinking about what they are going to say rather than actually listening and trying to understand what the other person is saying. I was listening to something today where the speaker was saying we need to try to be more curious for longer and less actively wanting to speak.
