Brain is an expandable flesh that can only be broadened in open environment; free of foreign imperialistic adventures and self respectful believes within. When a person believes in his/her entities, he/she will perform much better and smarter. If he/she in other territories could do it so you as well. Englishman tried proving it otherwise. Thanks to the people who made it happen even the objective is far behind the advanced ones. Time is on the side of Easterners rather Westerners.
