Thrive on Learning and Mental Challenges. The point of having a brain is precisely to learn and to adapt to challenging new environments. Once new neurons appear in your brain, where they stay in your brain and how long they survive depends on how you use them. “Use It or Lose It” does not mean “do crossword puzzle number 1,234,567″. It means, “challenge your brain often with fundamentally new activities”.
5. 喜歡學習和腦力挑戰。 大腦存在的原因就是去學習和適應新環境的挑戰。一旦新的神經元出現在你的大腦，它們待在腦中哪里存活多久取決于你怎么使用它們。“使用它或失去它”并不等于“做縱橫填字數字游戲1，234，567”。 它意味著，“用根本新的活動來挑戰你的大腦”。
