down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel,or only
partly understand. Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you
increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power".
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many,if not most,highly productive people
are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal (日志)of your
ideas the next time you"re working on a big project, you"11 probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That"s an extreme example, but if you are
learning
something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better. Want to invent
something? Write an explanation of the problem---why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,
and you"re half-way there.
Writers don"t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often,they write
about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you
to all understanding. Give it a try.

| On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New York railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man. The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever. Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim (认领) it soon." After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it"s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here." The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr George Sang?" The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?" "It"s a lottery ticket," said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang"s name was seen. "Is it?" he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist. The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna.
