Copying
brainprinciple
By nature we are
copy-cats
We learn best when we copy others. It is a very simple
rule.
Actually it is stupid not to put this principle at
work.
Just imagine this example:
We have a child willing to learn a language. We order this kid
not to copy your words. You order this kid to come up with its
own words. Wouldn't that be the most stupid thing to
do?
Just watch kids in order to see this principle in action. The
moment a child wants to learn to use something new, it will
start to copy its role model. It will try to copy his/her
role-model exactly in order to conquer this challenge. With the
use of our perseverance principle this kid will take care of
the fact that he/she will be able to apply this new knowledge
in no time. It will continue to observe and will try to imitate
his/her role-model in a perfectionistic and almost blind
manner.
Our brain imitates our role-models consciously and
unconsciously. Even their behaviors will be copied. The moment
we listen to somebody, our brains will remember the most
favorite words and behaviors immediately. You must not be
surprised to see these same words and behaviors in their
behavior as well again.
Do not underestimate the power of this principle. Many of us
will remain copying until we have perfectly copied whatever we
wanted to copy from somebody else (consciously or
unconsciously).
When this has happened, we start to seek a new role-model to
even improve this newly attained knowledge
again.
This principle means that our thinking patterns of our brain
cells are a direct copy of our environment. Many experts in the
area of psychology and self-development agree that in order to
be successful one needs to associate with other successful
people.
In order to use this knowledge, you should take a closer look
at your acquaintances and whom you are copying at a conscious
or/and unconscious level.
Methods in order to maximize this copy
principle
Try to associate as much as possible with people you respect
the most
Whenever a conversation tends to lead to negative talking, try
to cheer up or quit the conversation as a whole.
Don't involve yourself into negative talking.
Try to find good role-models
Repeat successful strategies which lead to your present goals.
