Thinking With Numbers People with dyslexia are born with brains that think with images and ideas instead of words and phrases. They are born with a natural aptitude for three dimensional thought but not a natural tendency toward recognizing letters and words. This makes learning to read and spell especially difficult; but not impossible. A person with dyslexia can become literate with great amounts of good instruction, much effort, patients, support, and faith.
How the Brain Learns Best People who want to develop big muscles know that it takes a lot of work. Body builders work their muscles hard and long until their muscles are fatigued, or very tired. This hard work actually damages the muscles' cells, but not beyond repair. While the body builder rests, his/her body is at work repairing the strained muscles. The body actually repairs the strained muscles by developing new layers of cells on top of the tired cells.
