Learn ten new words

Learn ten new words and keep your brain young.

One of the most important indicators of a person’s success in business is the size of his/her vocabulary. It is very easy to increase one’s knowledge by learning new words. There are many books dedicated to this task. Looking through a dictionary or thesaurus can be great fun and enlightening. When you read a book or newspaper note the words you do not understand and look these up. Soon you’ll understand them in context.

As always be thankful and appreciate that we are the only species with a sophisticated language. It is true that some higher primates may be taught to use symbolic language but with a  vocabulary of about 500. Most people fluent in English get by with a vocabulary of about 5,000 out of a possible 250,000 to 1,000,000 in English Language. Well educated erudite people need have a vocabulary of more than 15,000. It really does not matter where you are today. The point is you can have so much fun while improving your vocabulary and thus chances of success.

Merriam Webster website is a very useful resource for me to learn new words at. They have a word of the day and you can even subscribe to the service and get it in your email.

Remember that with your brain as all parts of your body it’s a matter or use it or lose it. Learning new words in your own or another language is a great way of keeping your brain young. If you learn even a single new word a day in another language you’ll be able to hold a conversation in that language in a short time.
