“Your brain - every brain - is a work in progress. It is 'plastic.' Fro...” — Michael Merzenich Quote

“Your brain - every brain - is a work in progress. It is 'plastic.' From the day we're born to the day we die, it continuously revises and remodels, improving or slowly declining, as a function of how we use it.”

“If a brain is exercised properly, anyone can grow intelligence, at any age, and potentially by a lot. Or you can just let your brain idle - and watch it slowly, inexorably, go to seed like a sedentary body.”

“My brain power depends on my retained mastery of analyzing in detail what's happening in my world and in my mind and body. I must continue to practice to retain my constructive and analytic powers. The goal is to be a master of my environment.”

“It is easy to make promises - it is hard work to keep them.”

“Hard work always pays off, whatever you do.”

“The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.”
