He is an International Speaker, Social Entrepreneur and Memory and Speed Reading Expert. One might think it was easy for him. Well, think again. Jim was often called “boy with the broken brain” by his teachers for his apparent “slowness”. He believed for a long time that he would never be as good as the other kids. He struggled to survive at school. However, as the years passed by, he decided to explore his brain. On his journey, he discovered that he could work on himself and developed accelerated learning habits.What we understand from Jim’s story is that no brain is broken. There is always a possibility to do better with a strong willingness to play. Jim’s mission eventually became to help people survive in the 21st-century by mastering the art of learning.
