Often times in modern day advertising campaigns that run on websites and commercials, there are brain supplements and hoopla surrounding people. A lot of these advertisements are trying to sell us these modern day magical pills. What I’m going to talk about in this post is something that is highly underestimated for overall brain health and mental clarity, it’s sleep! Getting enough adequate sleep on a day to day basis is something that is not always obtainable for every person depending upon job commitments and having a busy schedule. The key to fixing the issue is to re-arrange priorities and scheduling throughout the day in order to have an earlier bed time and eliminate things that are preventing you from obtaining enough sleep on a weekly basis. By getting enough sleep it can positively affect learning in students and business people alike. Studies show that sleep plays a very important role in learning, memory, mood, motivation, judgement, and perception. When you think about learning, it makes sense that sleep would impact one’s ability to focus and stay on task for a long duration of time. If you think about being sleep deprived, it greatly impairs one’s ability to learn and complete tasks in an efficient manner.

One of his books happens to share a lot of wisdom on how to develop a better mindset, which is my aim with this specific post. In order to give readers an idea of how Dan S. Kennedy can help improve your outlook towards the future whether it be through a job or a business, I felt like sharing some of his quotes. Listed below, is a composition of some of his best quotes from the book “How to Succeed In Business By Breaking All The Rules.” Here they are: “Shake Things up. Try doing the opposite and see if that works even better.” “Give in charity but never give in business. Place the highest possible value on your expertise and confidently present that value to the world.” “If you have a good education, by all means make the most of it. But never use a lack of formal education as an excuse and never let yourself feel inferior to those with better formal educations.” “What others perceive as arrogance may very well be the level of confidence, self-promotion, and pushiness necessary.” “Be wary of the “quitter” label.
