There are a number of reasons that we use excitement in the seminar.  The main reason is because excitement is an early learning state.  When we are excited, a biochemical shift happens in our brain and we feel good.  When we feel good learning is enhanced.  Accelerated learning will lead to progress, and progress leads to happiness. If none of this works, at lease you have a good time. Children learn at an accelerated rate. Children learn very fast.  Scientists postulate that between the ages of one to seven, a child’s brain is like a sponge, soaking up information.  The brain is firing to such a degree that children in bilingual neighbourhoods can learn 2 or 3 languages effortlessly.  All they did was play with their friends and would unconsciously just pick up the language.

It is not the number of brain-cells that make a person more or less intelligent.  Rather it is the number of connections they have between…
