Artemyev Pavel - Juggling is Magic! стр 5.

Unfortunately, today we are seeing the opposite picture, since the dominance of keys and buttons is coming. This is called progress, but Weaning children from manual labor, we do not protect their childhood at all, on the contrary, we mindlessly destroy them. Any hand work is in itself a semblance of a rebus for our brain. Trying to resolve it, the brain invariably improves and updates its neuropark. Old, non-viable neurons are actively replaced by new ones, and here we are talking not only about the development of intelligence,  already today scientists are seriously talking about the fact that by reviving neurogenesis (the creation of new neurons), a person not only smarts, but also significantly prolongs his life. It turns out that, among other things, juggling is also an elixir of youth.

Remember saying: Nerve cells do not recover? So  cross out this phrase with a bold cross; are being restored  and how! True, provided that we learn and continue to comprehend this world, if we strain the brain hemispheres.

As I said, if you combine reading with juggling, double winning is secured for you. New neurocheps created in the process of juggling further enrich the readers arsenal, simultaneously giving significant unloading to the eye muscles. In addition, fantasy and inner horizons receive an additional impetus, namely, according to scientists, this determines the success of children in school subjects that require spatial imagination  primarily in geometry. However, Academician Landau rightly believed geometry to be the science of sciences, and therefore certain breakthroughs in juggling can be expected in almost all subjects studied, from history to labor lessons.

Chapter 4 On Plans, Laziness and Great Goals

In the childhood besides animated films about Mowgli and the flying Carlson I liked to revise the animated film about A brave portnyazhk (the fairy tale by brothers Grimm). The main character in this fairy tale slammed time seven flies once then made an inscription on the belt: I have a reputation for the athlete not without reason  seven with one blow. The saying went to the people, and business here, of course, not in flies long ago, and that at competent approach it is possible to execute indeed at once several useful cases. I went to shop, in passing I took out garbage, I checked mail, I brought the receipt to the old woman to the neighbor, etc. Like nothing difficult, but similar tiny algorithms in life of any person hundreds and thousands over the years collect. As a result we receive saving of time, forces and own nerves.

And now I will make a confession: I am an idler. Not most, probably, malicious, but nevertheless I since early years regarded a saying about the laziness which is the progress engine with favor and gravity. How many various devices I invented to facilitate the life to what improbable amount of cunnings and tricks I resorted! I constructed the drafts helping from a fishing line and threads without getting out of a bed, to open a window leaf or doors, to turn on the light or radio. I studied temperature and composition of water most quicker washing ware. I tried to learn lessons in a dream from recorder tapes, and I made of the designers details again and again robots who instead of me could remove dust from a house carpet. Once, when I understood that to me laziness to set every evening the alarm clock (at the time of my youth there were no cell phones with numerous functions yet), I quickly studied the espionage science read from books to wake up in time. You adjust as appropriate a brain  and at the right time eyes open. In the eighth class, having been tired to cram portions of foreign words, I armed with a high-speed technique and for few weeks learned all school dictionary, and I had no more problems with cramming

And now I will explain to what I conduct. And so, on my strong belief, juggling is the occupation which is ideal for idlers. Already at least because all spent efforts pay off even not threefold and where a big prize. Thinking first it is simple to surprise the acquaintances, you unexpectedly for yourself will find out that you became the owner of really magic abilities! I managed to tell about some of them, but, honestly, this list should be repeated once again as in a case with juggling we receive a package of bonuses about which we first dont even suspect.

So, juggling:

1. It is the most effective help to our sight

2. It is a beautiful bearing and physical shape, an opportunity to train, without leaving the house

3. This controlled mood, an opportunity to struggle with depressions, the fast and operated synthesis of hormones of joy

4. It is a real opportunity to grow wiser and to noticeably move apart a framework of creative activity

5. This strengthening of motility of hands and improvement of natural reaction

6. This improvement of coordination between the right and left hemispheres of a brain allowing to solve effectively specific objectives, increasing attentiveness, strengthening memory

7. It is the simplest self-massage  due to impact on reflexogenic zones of palms and fingers

8. It is skill of planning and forecasting, ability to concentrate on the next specifics, on things there are enough abstract

9. This increase in the immune status, ability to resist to both bad mood, and unexpected diseases (physiology and psychosomatics)

10. It is an opportunity to get rid of addictions like a game addiction, smoking, alcoholism, overeating, etc. that is connected with a phenomenon of substitution of hobbies  one pleasure on another

11. It is some kind of philosophy, capable to disconnect the person from a material world, immersing in the accelerated self-scrutiny stream, allowing to perceive quietly misses, falling and unfulfilled expectations

Whether all it? No, not everything, however you shouldnt abuse your long-suffering. The immediate goal, in my opinion, is executed as I intended to depict the most important parties of juggling and to draw your attention to this most useful occupation.

I remember how the books urging to reformat a brain and memory guarded me, assuring that for full-fledged life we need to make a turn by hundred eighty degrees. As it was sung in one popular song: at the price of hard we have to get happiness, otherwise it wont please. Beautifully? Yes. And it is even metaphoric, however, if to become thoughtful, you begin to realize that in realities everything is absolutely on the contrary.

Having fused and having worked too much, you wont feel taste of happiness any more.

And, perhaps, this is what scares radical recipes that require tough self-denial, colossal patience, iron diets and hard work. No, I dont vote for the available lightness of everything, however, talking about juggling, I was going to present you with a magical fire, capable of carving out the sparks of happiness without plunging you into long-term agonising states. By undertaking to radically redraw our brains, we can easily damage and something vital. And it is especially good to juggle balls, since it does not imply dangerous extreme. And if we talk about the creation of new neurochains, then all these processes will go gently and naturally.

And finally, another good news: a series of experiments conducted by scientists in various parts of the planet confidently proved that the changes observed in the human brain of a juggling person do not evaporate without a trace after graduation. Numerous tests already AFTER completing juggling training once again confirmed the stability of the changes that occurred, which formed the basis of a number of rehabilitation programs for people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.
