Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima

It was not me, is the Internet. I swear. It can not really be my fault, huh? If I lose my memory, it is because of this modern world crypto-capitalist where humans are present: no need to learn the numbers, they are in my laptop, no need of knowledge, everything is on Wikipedia No need to count, there are calculators everywhere … and one day we are faced with the baker to wonder if it was enough to buy five loaves Chocolate 1 euro 15 knowing that a 5 EUR 65 in her purse.

The downfall began
It begins when you take cover behind some bogus excuses like “I can never remember the aion kinah names” or “Ah, but far in primary school. The rest will be a huge slump that will lead directly to the Alzheimer’s Institute nearest you. If you want to avoid the sad fate of Mamie lost in the courtyard of the building, he must now put his band to Rambo - it seems it is keeping the neurons together - and get to the brain training .

Consultation Home
So I have an appointment with Dr. Kawashima. It is not very sexy with his head full of polygons, and he did not talk too much, but I’m still confident. At the bottom of a sofa, thermometer in mouth, I’m all ears. The doctor asked me to answer a series of questions. First aloud, and writing. The record is appalling. I erased from my memory all the multiplication tables.
Doctor laments. We’ll have to promise to work every day for my condition improves! Obviously, I agree. And then, the results fall. My brain was twice my age! The calculation is done quickly - even for me - since I’m 40 years all round. Forty brooms. I guess my brain full of wrinkles and I freaked.

Taking my courage in both hands, I decided to start from scratch. After jogging and abs on waking, we add the awakening of the brain. Eye of the Tiger in the background, I do not lose faith. I carry my 120 daily mental calculations. Well, 1 +1 is gained but 5 * 5 …
I do my little play where I rediscover the classics of French literature, exercises of memory and logic. Then a, b and c are in a house but b and c go get some bread while d and e require salt neighbor while a and i are of slobber on the sofa. How many does he have people in the house?
Sometimes the doctor is a little hard of hearing, but overall, I am making progress every day.

The eyes in neurons
Finally, the final test. Further consultation with Dr. Kawashima. The serious look, it began its evaluation. It’s very fast, it ends after a short fifteen minutes. I await the results eagerly. The doctor smiled - it’s usually a good sign - and told me that I have worked well but it’s not over. Today my brain 30 years but it should have 20. The optimum age for a brain. After it breaks down, they say.
