In one of my articles, 'The Scientific Difference between Liking & Wanting', I have mentioned about brain circuits. In this article, I would expand on them. Specifically, how it determines our talent, and how can we use it to improve our skills. Brain circuits consist of a few 'wires' we call neurons, which transmit signals from our senses to our brain. From there, the brain processes the information, decides a response and 'wires' back the information through another set of circuits to appropriate parts of the body. Like when you are eating hot dogs when you are supposed to be on a diet, and then your friend suddenly comes up to you and say "Hey, why are you eating? Aren't you on a diet?" The words made its way from your ears to your brain, processes it, decides a response, and sends back signals to your hand, mouth and tongue muscles, throwing away the hot dog and say "Oh no, no, I was just looking through that hot dog. I think it is really hot...uh...the dog...anyway, why are you here?" Your brain tries to change the topic of hot dog to distract your friend. That is our brain, it is smart.
