Good thinkers know when to work, when to relax.


S. Krashen, April 2015

Csikszentmihalyi, Rathunde, and Whalen (1993)  monitored concentration among "talented" teenagers (grades 9 and 10 in accelerated classes and nominated by teachers) and comparison teenagers while doing various activities by interrupting them with electronic pagers and asking them various questions (p. 52-53), including "How well were you concentrating?"

They found that talented teens did not study more, did not read more, and in fact watched significantly more TV than others (page 87), but their levels of concentration were different: "Talented students reported relatively higher levels of concentration than their average peers when invovlved in classwork, studying, reading, and sports and games. But in less demanding activities, such as household chores, socializing and watching TV, their concentration levels dropped well below those of average students" (p. 97).

Apparently, they knew when to concentrate and when to relax.  Relaxation may have real value, promoting the emergence of new ideas and solutions to problems (Krashen, 2001).

  1. I am ROSE SMITH from CANADA a single parent, before my husband died he left us with so much DEBT that we could not cope with life, I was totally confused on what to do. When I was going through the internet I came across a POST by MARCUS CAFE about how Mrs JULIA NAVARO help him to get a loan so I applied for the loan from JULIA NAVARO through her mail (navaroloancompany@yahoo.com) of $200,000 with a duration of 10 years. When I was applying for the loan I made a vow to GOD that if I get the loan I will let the world know what she did for me, to my greatest surprise my loan was granted with
    an interest of 2%. I was able to settle my debt and start up a new life and business with a settled family. So if you want any type of loan for as low as 2% please contact JULIA NAVARO on her mail navaroloancompany@yahoo.com.I just fulfilled my vow.
