Using Ten Percent of Your Brain Will Kill You



In the film Lucy, Hollywood resurrects Einstein's ridiculous idea that we use any less than all of our brain. One could not walk and chew gum without employing the majority. Throw in a conversation and you're talking full engagement. There are no dormant or unused parts, waiting for development. Brains don't work that way. But there are many factors to phenomenal function. From simple blood flow to complex stimulus coordination among lobes, the possibilities of increased potential remain endless; however, our percentage of use is not. We mostly use most of it and when we sleep, all of it shows activity. Ten percent isn't enough to read this sentence, let alone live a life. Nature defines the majority of how efficient our brain functions but nurture sets the long-term tone of our potential. Eat right, exercise, relieve stress, sleep, and most importantly, cultivate meaning. This how 100% of your brain's potential is realized. Plus, if we only use ten percent now, in the endless future, we will only become ten times smarter. Is there really a limit to the human brain?
