This past weekend's readings, March 2nd and 3rd, "Have a roommate at least once in your life" and "Graduate"....respectively.
From "The Journey: A Calendar Book" for March 4th, "You've got a mind, use it".
What's interesting about this reading is the myth which has been going
around for decades we use only 10% of our brain. If this were true
those who tend to let others think for
them would be "up the creek without a paddle". Barry Gordon,
neurologist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore says, the
10% myth is so wrong it's almost laughable (www.scientificamerican.com).
"The myths durability stems from people's conceptions about their own
brain: they see their own shortcomings as evidence of the existence of
untapped gray matter. This is a false assumption."It turns out though,
that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the
brain is active almost all the time," Gordon adds. "Let's put it this
way: the brain represents three percent of the body's weight and uses 20
percent of the body's energy" (www.scientificamerican.com).
Don't allow unfounded assumptions affect your abilities. Don't allow
unfounded assumptions to hamper you from being all you c an be. Don't
allow unfounded assumptions to become obstacles in your journey to
personal success.
You've got a brain, use it....to its full potential, 100%.
Keep looking up. : ) AJ
