Using brain at its full capacity.

         

You can do anything! Paint a masterpiece in a minute, learn every language in an hour, buit a multi - billion dolar company overnight, and rule the world by tomorrow. So, what's holding you back? Why aren't you doing what you want? Didn't you eat enough vegetables while you were growing up? Or is it because you are not using your brain at its' full potential? Want to know how you can?

The brain, to say the least is very complex. We've studied it for centuries and we're still learning more of it's secrets today. But be careful! The search for facts can sometimes lead to fiction. To be smarter your brian needs to be bigger? No it isn't like that. Brain size relates more to proportion than it does to intellignce. 

(Left) Human's Brain; (Right) Whale's Brain.

                        

For example, here's your brian next to whale's, who is smarter? Whose body needs more procesing power? Yor brain is smaller than a whale's brainbecause your body is smaller. However, your brian is structured in a way that enables you to survive, and succeed. After all that would you believe that humans only use 10% of thier brains?

What would be like if we use 100% of our brian? We've seen what really smart people can do. They inspire us through art, music, literature and so many other cool things, they come up with tools to make our lives easier, and they help organize socitey as a whole top make us all more powerful, for better or for worse. 

With access to your brian's full capacity, you're limitless so, what do you do? First things first, you finally get to solve the Rubik's cube that's been collecting dust on your shelf. Call up your smartest friend, and challenge them to a game of chess, checkmate in two moves. When you are done being a smarty pants, you'll be looking for a real challenge. Since, being smart means that you won't be as stimulated by the things thst keep us simpletons happy.

What's your interest? Art, science or technology? When you are limitless, you don't have to choose. What happens to your body when you're dedicating all your brain's energy to a creation, a cure, or a patent? Your lungs breathing, your heart beating, your food digesting, and your blood circulating that's all your brain. Even if you could acess 100% of your brain's capacity, you coudn't use it. You would be limitles by your body's survival needs.

Remember I asked, would you believe that humans only use 10% of thier brains? Did you beilieve it? The 10% thing is a myth and it probably comes from a simple confusion. You brain is 10% neurons, and 90% glial cells. There are different types of neurons thqat take care of different functions, but in general, your neurns enable you to process and transmit infromation, While your glial cells surrounds your neurons, providing thm with support and insulation, all human brains share the same design.

Your brain has just as many neurons as Albert Einstein's did! How can you be smarter? Treat your brain like a muscle, stimulate it, try new things take on challenges and get enough rest. Maintain healthy habits that's the smart thing to do! Of course, it's no brainer!
