In reading this article of psychologist doing a study on how people reading Kafka’s works enhanced learning abilities really shocked me. One would think that the people that were given the short story would be more accurate in making more corrections. However they were not the ones, the people that were given the nonsensical how more accurate corrections. That is pretty hard to do knowing that that reading had a series of disturbing events. In this study it showed how these people were clearly more motivated then the others. Which is true for most people. When a task is put in front of you that you are unfamiliar with or it is difficult most people try to get it done and put more effort into it. People strive to make sense of things when they are uncomfortable or are in awkward positions. This study showed exactly that so personally I think challenging yourself will just make you a better and smarter person. So I encourage people to keep testing themselves with challenges everyday. Are you going to take time out of your day to challenge yourself a little more then the previous day?
