Launching Two NEW Exclusive Concepts
International Readership continues to surge with solid growth for the seventh record consecutive month; bringing the total for the year to 214,789 Back in July results were just over 13,940, which means that end of March growth to-date is still charging along at a dramatic percentage pace.
We are pleased to bring to all of our readers and followers two unique PCW concepts that we will continue to develop, research and refine for purposes of continuous improvement. The first being - "Key Life Success Factors (KLSF)" and the second being "BrainCare." This month there were four articles that focused on these KLSF's - Creativity, Learning, Reading, and Brain Fitness all of which are common sense ideas, yet they still need our awareness and attention, from time to time.
BrainCare articles will focus on maintaining the optimal physical condition of the brain which is forged by the integration of these four major areas: Diet, Sleep, Exercise and Intellectual Development. In our view, our focus on this topical area is to encourage attention and practices similar to dental, foot, heart or care for other areas of the body. Why not? As the physical care of the brain should be at the very top of our health priorities for obvious and comparative reasons.

Key Life Success Factors (KLSF) - Keeping Your Brain Fit
"The more intellectual stimulation you have, the more various neural circuits are used. And the more circuits you have, the harder it is for the changes associated with neurodegenerative diseases to manifest,"
How to Keep Your Brain Fit
Your brain is truly the most amazing part of your body. It comes up with creative ways to express your thoughts and emotions, coordinates movements from chopping onions to running an obstacle course, stores your most precious childhood memories, and solves the Sunday crossword. But it's easy to take those powers for granted.
Key Life Success Factors (KLSF) - Unlock Your Creativity
Creativity isn’t some mystical power, it’s something we are all born with. We’ve just set our lives up to squash it out. Here’s how to let it back in.
WHY IT’S HARD TO BE CREATIVE
Think you’re not creative? You’re selling yourself short. Humans are inherently creative, born with the capacity to reflect, evaluate, come up with ideas, and find connections, says Rahaf Harfoush, author of Hustle and Float: Reclaim Your Creativity and Thrive in a World Obsessed with Work. “We all have the capacity to be creative, and we can all improve those skills,” she says. “Like any aptitude, some are better than others and some have a stronger skill set. We’re not all LeBron James, but anybody can learn basketball.”
Key Life Success Factors (KLSF); Learn, Learn, Learn...
“The more I learn, the more I learn how little I know.” Socrates
If Socrates Was A Life Long Learner In A Digital Age
The intellectual roots of the critical thinking needed to be a successful lifelong learner can be traced back 2,500 years ago to the quotes, the teachings and the vision of Socrates of ancient Greece. When Socrates said the “unexamined life is not worth living”, he was creating what has come to be famously known as the Socratic principle of questioning (National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking, 2019). Socratic questioning is a mode of questioning that deeply examines the strength of a definition, justification or logic of a claim, theory, line of reasoning or stance. Lifelong learners seek to examine the claims and theories within their disciplines’ body of knowledge before accepting them as worthy of belief.
BrainCare: AA's Terrible Failure Rates - Estimated Over 90%
How a pseudo scientific, religious organization birthed the most trusted method of addiction treatment
“Peer reviewed studies peg the success rate of AA somewhere between five and 10 percent,” writes Dodes. “About one of every 15 people who enter these programs is able to become and stay sober.”
The Surprising Failures of 12 Steps
Say you’ve been diagnosed with a serious, life-altering illness or psychological condition. In lieu of medication, psychotherapy, or a combination thereof, your doctor prescribes nightly meetings with a group of similarly afflicted individuals, and a set of 12 non-medical guidelines for recovery, half of which require direct appeals to God. What would you do?
Key Life Success Factor (KLSF): "READ" - 5 Hours Minimum Weekly
“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none. Zero.” - Charlie Monger
5-Hour Rule: If you’re not spending 5 hours per week learning, you’re being irresponsible
Why did the busiest person in the world, former president Barack Obama, read an hour a day while in office?Why has the best investor in history, Warren Buffett, invested 80% of his time in reading and thinking throughout his career?Why has the world’s richest person, Bill Gates, read a book a week during his career? And why has he taken a yearly two-week reading vacation throughout his entire career?Why do the world’s smartest and busiest people find one hour a day for deliberate learning (the 5-hour rule), while others make excuses about how busy they are? What do they see that others don’t?
