Are you one who likes to think and keep your mind on all the time? If so, there are exercises that you can do to improve your abilities in abstract thinking and push the limits of your mind to a place where it knows no bounds.
How is this possible you ask? Well try this game sometime.
Take a pad of paper and write down a totally abstract philosophical thought and then you have one minute and use a stop watch to come up with as many close variations of the same or very similar questions, which you must write down in 1-minute.
Here is the result of my first self-imposed and self-invented test;

• I Know Nothing Exists Where Something Cannot
• I Know Something Exists Where Nothing Can and Yet I Stand
• I Know if Nothing is Nothing then Something Can Be Anything; What Shall I Call; IT
• If Something Comes of Nothing; Then Nothing Can Be Redefined
• If Something Can Be Anything, But it Cannot Be Nothing, then How Can Nothing Be Anything?
• If You Think You are Here You Might Actually Be There from Where I Am
• If You Are and You Think then Perhaps I Am Observing Thought
• If You Think, then You Are, I Think
• If You Know Thought You Must Have Considered It, Thus You Are
• If You Are that Does Not Mean You Can Think; Most Humans are Like Rocks, just softer

Next, spend 5-minutes writing down what ever comes to your mind on each question.
You need to work hard to at least write down 200-words on each.
Next, spend 15-minutes editing what you have written into a readable format and work hard so that it makes perfect sense to you.
I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought.
The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007.
