 Attic of brain 

Today, I came across a compelling idea in a book called "Mastermind" about constructing our thoughts and acquiring information correctly. 

For a long time, I've believed in gathering knowledge on a broad scale, thinking that a wide-ranging understanding would be beneficial. 

However, after reading this book, I've realized that this approach might be counterproductive.

Imagine our brain as an attic. While everything in the world is interconnected, attempting to learn an overwhelming amount of information can lead to a sense of numbness. 

As someone who is greedy and thirsty for knowledge, I used to think that expanding my knowledge across numerous topics was the best strategy. However, our brains have limited capacity, and filling them with irrelevant or less useful information can make it harder to remember what truly matters.

The goal of acquiring knowledge should be the ability to recall and use it effectively, rather than fooling ourselves into thinking we've learned something when we only have a vague memory of it. 

It's important to be honest with ourselves about whether we've actually learned something or if it's just a hazy recollection that we can't use or recall.

The solution proposed by "Mastermind" is to build a "system of knowledge" for any skills you want to learn. This involves following a structured approach and avoiding irrelevant information as much as possible. By doing this, you make room for knowledge that is truly essential to you. 

Focused learning, rather than scattered, superficial knowledge, allows for deeper understanding and better recall.
