"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

FUZZY, BUT THE BRAIN CAN STILL FIGURE IT OUT!


Interestingly, at first instance, the whole text with jumbled-up letters seems fuzzy, but it only takes a short while for the brain to figure out the big picture.

Thanks to the innate self-organising & pattern recognition capabilities of our brains. That's how I see it.

For the record, the foregoing text should actually read as follows:

"I couldn't believe that I could actually understand what I was reading:

THE PHENOMENAL POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND

According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole.

Amazing, huh?
"


Nonetheless, to understand the other perspectives of this phenomenon, please proceed to this link. I should thank Pat Johnson, a blog reader & fellow explorer for the link.
