This document discusses ways to make the mind smart. It explains that understanding psychological phenomena like selective attention can help draw accurate conclusions from activities and experiences. It defines what makes a goal SMART - specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Developing a positive attitude, self-esteem and continuous learning are identified as the three key traits needed to become smarter. The document emphasizes that merely existing is not success and encourages readers to do more than just touch, look, read or hear - but to feel, observe, absorb and understand.

S : Specific. For example, "I want to lose weight."
This is wishful thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will

M : Measurable. If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it.
Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress.
A : Achievable. It means that it should be out of reach enough to be challenging
but it should not be out of sight, otherwise it becomes disheartening.
R : Realistic. Bringing Ocean to Hi-tech City .
T : Time-bound. There should be a starting date and a finishing date.
