For the 4th challenge, I would like to describe to you how powerful it is to try new things for our mind and brain connections. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaw6euWKs5Msuvb2ZhEFv5jR9mvzBbTjcppSYgVHU1EnW/image.png) [source](https://educalingo.com/es/dic-en/mind) > “A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it isn't open.” ― Frank Zappa We have around 100 billions neurons, each of which has around 100,000 dendrites that creates connections that produce mental maps. When you try to think of an idea, you actually build in just a fraction of a second a new map to subconsciously compare it with any already existing maps. If you are capable of finding any kind of relationship between between that new idea and the latter, then that creates a new map that is established as part of your brain mapping. Doesn't it sound amazing? It actually starts to be something of who you really are. This phenomenon usually happens when you stop talking and you start thinking (something that most of us really need sometimes).

One of the things that we should be more aware of and that most people don't really know is that each brain has a different way to store, organize, manage and search for information. This is key to understand specially when someone you care about needs your help, and in an unconsciously way you say to the other person what to do to solve it. But, by knowing this, you actually understand that maybe that's the way you want or you would solve it, but most probable it won't help the other person as much as would help you. That is why thinking about others is a great energy and time expenditure, and it may interpose in their right way to find the correct answers.

Several number of experts have confirmed that the thing that you think of your own self deeply determines the way you carry your life towards. That BELIEF could even determine if you would finally become the person you want to be and if you'll obtain the goals you're set for. You can cultivate skills based on effort. This doesn't mean that you wil become the very best at what you do, but the potential you got is truly unknown, for which is almost impossible to predict how much or how far you may go with years of passion, hard-work and commitment. That is why it is so important to believe in ourselves in anything we do, because you never know how far it could take you until you put the work in.

This has a positive effect in your brain keeping it young. The best mental exercise is that of acquiring new knowledge and doing things that you have never done before.” ― Daniel Amen
