"Mr Watson, come here, I need you" may not have been the first chatter between a genius and his helper, but it is one of the best known. Here it serves as our example of recent science findings. Healthy lifestyles studies confirm that a ten minute conversation can make you smarter just prior to deciding moments.

So concludes a study by a team of U.S. researchers, who found that college students who discussed a social issue prior to taking a memory and mental-speed tests. They found those students scored significantly higher than fellow students who did not talk before the exam.

This may explain the increasing brain power that more communicative women are displaying, and how with more easy they may communicate their ways through medical school. The strong silent male will end up the janitor if he does not chat up, listen up,learn up, and climb his way up, the way the ladies are doing more naturally.

This is powerful news and deserves more attention than the small notice given it. You ladies may already know this innately for thousands of years, and it is long since time we relearn this lesson that somehow we become smarter by becoming part of the group and discussing life in general, all at ease.

Study author Oscar Ybarra, Ph.D., suggests that social interaction activates the brain structures that allow us to store and sort out information.

This information should encourage men to actually talk to each other, and if not in the way that women do, at least in more comfort and ease about any darn thing, it sounds like. Us males, and I am one, who can sit in a canoe for hours without speaking to our buddy yet us both content. Staying dumb.

This will be painful news for men, who are content to stay in a sate of silence quite comfortably and say, watch a game together, and cheers and boos as needed, but not much conversation between them other than did you see that, oh get that umpire a cane and a dog.

While any two women in a boat on that lake might come to shore with less fish, or maybe not, but they would come back smart, and with a lot of new information. Making them smarter. While their husbands will drive them home in silence. Dumb and dumber, both driving home smart and smarter.

So fellows, before the big meeting or presentation, do not silently meditate or go over your notes. Hit the water cooler or the tea wagon; one cup of black tea will make you calmer and more alert. Remember to incorporate tea after your coffee for the additional anti oxidant power in tea. So talk and sip and win.

Too much coffee as you know gives us all the jitters. Tea has the amazing capacity to make you feel more calm and yet more alert. So keep chatting between sips. Then brain ignited, go get the pussycat, Tiger.
