Although I am not a genius, however my friend who is a math and science prodigy told me the secret to becoming a genius.
Six Golden Rules.
1. Get rid off stress if you have a problem like family issue or school trouble then don't worry about it. See stress decreases length of dendrites, which is bad.
2. Constant new stimulas if you have a problem then don't focus really hard on one thing. Try and look for new ways to look at a problem see Da Vichi didn't go with his first impression he saw his first impression as bad.
3. Reason everything.
4. Visulization. My friend said he learned several languages including mathematics by cutting out the letters or numbers and rearranging them to learn them. Language is all about sound, however if you learn by sound then your not using your most powerful part of your brain.
5. Mnemonics story method http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/m...ber/memory.html
6. Emotions my friend said was the most improtant thing. You need to look at everything in a emotionally energitic light. A good example is when my friend said he was getting bored in class then he noticed that if you look at everything as silly and energtic then you will understand it. See he said the only thing that seperate the normal person from the abnormal person is emotion he also calls mathematics the best sexs ever.

If you have any question then ask and I will get back to you with the anwser. If you don't fully understand the above then try and look at it from another angle.

Well I can say my friend did have a postive effect on me as I was in all the bottom classes now I am in the top also I did win the progress award in my school. Well most people don't care about knowledge or understanding, which is sad. Do you know their is a simple pattarn to everything
