Abacus

Description:

• Abacus is an ancient Chinese tool

• Abacus is still widely used in place of the calculator in China.

• In each rod of the abacus, there are four beads below the beam and one bead above the beam.

• Each bead below the rod has the value one (1) and each bead above the rod has the value five (5).

Why Abacus:

• By using the abacus (or the manual calculator) as a tool, the brainpower is harnessed.

• Also, there is overall brain development focusing on the right brain.

Human Brain : Left and Right:

• The Human brain has two halves: the right and the left

• The left-brain is linear and logical. The right brain is intuitive.

• When confronted with problems, the left-brain being logical, reasons out how intense will be the problem and allowing that to prevail on the mind, will make a person give up his goal.

• The way the right brain interprets the goal is different. It is not logical but creative and thinks about new methods to reach the goal.

• The right brain is able to “Visualise” the final scene of goal achievement and will not rest till newer methods of reaching the goal are found.
