these were 2 very key words i learnt today at the Care Person Learning Forum: Engaging the Young of Today organised by the poly. the engaging, entertaining lively speaker and psychiatrist Dr Ang Yong Guan shared examples of how youths struggle with the pressures of life and their ways of coping, usually unsuccessfully which results in drastic life-taking measures. :(i also learn that the brain becomes fully matured after 25 years, and that research proves that human beings do grow wiser with age. Dr Ang also briefly discussed the limbic system and introduced terms like 'hippocampus' and 'amygdala'. knowing how the brain functions plays a crucial role in understanding the psyche of human beings, especially the gen-y youths of today.
anyway, back to 'daily' and 'variety'.
Dr Ang revealed some secrets to long life which involves daily routines (to keep busy) coupled with variety (to keep boredom at bay). simple, really. it's no rocket science. and yes, i'll strive to keep these 2 words locked in my brain.
