I have received many cos throughout my life, but one of the best complements I have ever received is "You sound like you read a lot. Your mind is so broad." The truth is that I hardly read anything that isn't mandatory, and even then chances are that I don't read it in its entirety. My response to that wonderful compliment was that I don't read a lot; I talk a lot and to a lot of different people. I have conversations on a wide range of topics - from cartoon to tourism, politics to farming, cleaning to energy, family life to fashion, sex to world development and the list goes on. I formulate my own ideas on these topics and having conversations with other people broadens mu mind because there are points of views and arguments I may have never thought of that are valid and legitimate that my colleagues bring forward. And if I'm lucky, they did the reading ;)
I think another way to broaden your mind is through music. I have a Youtube account and the wide range of videos saved there is not even as extensive as I would like, but I'm working on it. Yes I may not understand a word of what is being said, but sometimes lyrics are trivial, and understanding the emotion, the mood is more essential.
So I challenge you to broaden your mind. Read up on "random" things. Google anything and start reading up. Have more conversations on things that interest you or things you see or hear about. Listen to music of other countries and cultures from around the world. You can do all of these orrrrr if money permits - TRAVEL THERE YOURSELF!! :D
