| Description | The great Einstein once remarked, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough”. Mental agility is the ability of the mind to think clearly, organize thoughts and clarify complex issues. The mind is very complicated and simplifying challenges requires the mind to be agile. When there is mental agility, the mind recognises wrong assumptions and the state of emotions in your thinking. You can adapt quickly to new environment and situational changes. The benefits of an agile mind are the ability to reason, better clarity of events and the skill of explaining seemingly complex things. Every senior can be mentally agile once they learn the skills and practice them in daily conversation and events. |
