You have been learning since you were a baby. The brain of an adult has 100 billion neurons, the majority of which were formed during the first five months in the womb. Each of the brain neurons is connected to nearly 5000 others. These connections can be proactively increased. The hardware is there, but you can input the software by what you key in.
Inputs rush into the brain from all 5 senses which means that we learn from the great classroom of Life. From events, people and activities. We can ensure that everything that is keyed into the mind computer is worthwhile. For when we consider that every human being has the capacity to store the equivalent of 7550 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, the mind is surely the ultimate, under utilized computer.
While books are a great way of accessing the life essence of great souls, they are not the only way to develop neural connections. These connections, dendrites and synapses provide more pathways for information to flow and enhance complex thinking. Meeting people from different fields can jolt you into a new phase of creativity. Those who love us teach us. Those who hate us teach us more. We learn from every event of our lives if we so wish. Neural connections can be created till the last day of our lives. Research has proved that any challenge, like learning a new language or adjusting to a strange new place can lead to increasing the processing power of our mind computer.
