I want to improve my cognitive abilities, reading comprehension, analysis skills and etc.

Some tips would be nice.

You're pretty much born with it, but make sure you're eating and sleeping right. Then find something to learn about (typically by reading) that you're interested in, do that at least three times per week. You will gradually become ensmartened.

Also, avoid P&N, that's sage advice.

Your intelligence is limited to what you have, but learning new things(exercise) will maximize your potential. IOW, think of your brain as a glass. You can sit around here, and post nonsense like I do, and you'll only fill a portion of your glass. Learning new things, reading, and stretching the bounds of your knowledge will fill your glass higher.

And when you learn things, focus on understanding them rather than memorizing them. Practically any retard can memorize several important things, but that doesn't mean they have a clue about why they're important, how they work, or how they relate to other things; and that's the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

read every day (articles, books, RFCs, docs, etc) and challenge yourself every day. The time you might spend wasting hours on TV or whatever brainless shit you might be doing now, spend that putting yourself in potentially uncomfortable positions intellectually. Tackle something you don't understand and grind on it until you do. Learn something new and get frustrated with it. Then get back up and keep doing it. Rinse/repeat. Literally nothing good comes easy or fast.

Hone your power in the dark side until you master essence transfer, then move your essence to one with superior genetics.

Wait, you were serious?
