大腦可以改變，問題在於你願不願意? It depends on your will to decide whether change your brain.

發育與可塑性 Growth and Neuroplasticity

焦傳金 教授 Professor Chiao

想要分享我自己學音樂的想法，因為我從3歲就接觸音樂，除了鋼琴外在10歲還學了長笛，同時學習兩種樂器的我，在學習過程中有得到類似的感想，我在學習兩種樂器時都經歷過一段超級痛苦的瓶頸期，痛苦到不想練習、不想要上課，可是我媽媽非常有耐心的陪我，也不打罵，就只是靜靜坐在我旁邊，陪我自己克服困難。而在這過程中我發現學習克服音樂的障礙，跟日後學習克服課業、社團或是生活瓶頸有很大的關連，因為都是同樣要靠自己消化、解決困難，如果從小有訓練，並且養成這種自己尋找方法的習慣，真的在日後讓我跟其他同儕有很大的差別。

因此我認為，年紀小的大腦在面對挫折方面真的會比年紀大後更能練習，就跟老師說的一樣，前額葉還沒完全發育好，所以願意往前衝，不會被時間、體力或其他現實考量限制，在突破瓶頸的部分就更會願意嘗試解決。

I want to share my experience of learning music since I was 3. And until 10 I simultaneously learned flute and piano. During the period of learning instruments, I have been in a same difficulty that I have felt suffering when practicing, and once refused to go to the class. However, my mom always stayed beside me without any punishment or blame, she only sat near me and accompanied me to solve problems by myself. Accordingly, I got the ability to go through barriers of school works, extra curriculums and others problems in life by conquering those difficulties in music. The ability made me gain different traits among peers.

Consequently, like the teacher said, the prefrontal lobes of humans grow slower than other parts in the brain, that is, the younger the learners are, the braver they are willing to challenge the difficulties without blocked by the limits of time, physical reasons or other reality conditions.
