11、red some of his latest photos. Blown away by the images, I asked him why he hadnt started his own Instagram account of shots.“Its hard to start when there are already so many other websites devoted to travel photography with thousands of followers”, he explained. “What if I dont get any followers or
12、 what if people dont like my shots?”“Yet how will you ever know if you dont try?” I asked.He just shrugged and quickly changed the subject. I knew this feeling well. The feeling of self-doubt.That was when I was ten years old. I participated in a guitar competition. My grandfather helped me write a
13、short speech to address the crowd and judges. But as the competition began, doubt consumed me and questions flooded my head. I thought to myself, “If I do say the speech, will the other girls laugh at me? Will the judges think Im being silly for doing my own talk?”Then with a shake in my voice I sai
14、d, “My name is Heidi Ceci. I live in St. Catharines and I play the guitar.” Nothing more. and nothing less.But the next girl walked up to the microphone and actually said a speech.

18、r a trip. Five-year-old Erica and her siblings Alex, 9, and Kate, 12, missed school in Denver on Aug. 21, 2017. Their father Mr. Reed took them on a camping trip to Halsey to see the solar eclipse (日食). Kate had told her teachers shed be absent and Mr. Reed let Ericas and Alexs teachers know, too. B
19、ut he didnt ask for permission.Mr. Reed has loved astronomy since seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on his sixth birthday. He says, “I want my own kids to have a similar kind of wonderment and hope about future discoveries.”Parents often dream of traveling with their children to teach them abou
20、t science, geography and culture. Many teachers support them, as the Reed childrens teachers did.

How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.By putting thoughts into words, you are telling y
27、ourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a - 7 -thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.”Try this experiment. Explain how youll increase your brain power, even if
28、you have no idea right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation.

Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to
31、solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there.Writers dont always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.
