"...positive attitude is crucial for brain health. Positive thoughts stimulate secretion of neuro-transmitters which facilitate thinking, learning and creativity. Negative thoughts stimulate secretion of inhibitor chemicals which block or limit the flow of electro-chemical impulses and reduce brain performance."
Five 'brain enhancing' skills leaders will need by 2020

According to The World Economic Forum's ‘Future of Jobs’ report, complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, judgment and decision making, and cognitive flexibility will be amongst the most desirable skills most in demand by 2020.
All five skills are cognitive based – core skills that our brains use to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention. Working together, they take incoming information and move it into the bank of knowledge you use every day at work, and in life. Anyone who functions well cognitively can quickly process various mental activities most closely associated with learning and problem solving.
Critical thinking is key to success in any industry as people that are good at this can analyse information objectively and make reasoned judgments. They evaluate data, facts and observable phenomena; discriminate between valuable and less valuable information; and then draw clear conclusions to help solve a problem or make a decision.
