Giving a new insight on learning and goals in life, 2020 batch Indian Forest Service officer Himanshu Tyagi posted a video on social media platform ‘X’, describing neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity is defined as the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries, such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
Mr. Tyagi posted on X, “When studying less, deemed dumb; when investing more hours, labelled a genius. Your brain changes as you work. Believe me, whether you are intelligent or dumb depends on your conduct. This is neuroplasticity.
Unlock excellence – read this thread!”
In this video, he also gives the example of London’s taxi drivers and their brain. He summed up the video with how one can learn things easily by understanding the concept of neuroplasticity and how your brain works.

This is Hebb's law.
When you do some new activity repeatedly, new neural connections are built up. With practice, the task becomes easy for you.
