How to learn something new every day
It made me
Wise.
 "Wikipedia and a notebook are your friends."
How I did it: Everytime i have have a conversation with someone or I see something on the tv, or in a film or in a newspaper that i dont understand or know much about I add it to my list in my notebook. Once a day I will take at least one thing from my list and look it up on google or wiki ect ect. Since I started doing this I have learnt about things that I would never normally have heard of and have learnt to open my mind to new ideas and theologys. This is a fantastic habit to get into and you never know when your need the extra info. Lessons & tips: Keep it relevent to yourself, don`t research or look up spiders if you cant stand them or the idea bores you. Before you start to do this try building a small list of things to look up so you always have plenty to pick from on a whim. Resources: much kudos to the wonderfull wikipedia and google!!! Ask.co.uk is also brilliantly usefull and dont forget the humble libary either.

It started with a remark in one article saying that awakening roses make the sound which is similar to Bach’s toccatas. Today I came across the whole topic of ‘translating’ our dna and other ‘codes’ into music. Great. I am the music.
