Do you know that the brain in each of us is very powerful?
The brain can really help us to achieve wonders if we know how to use
it properly and correctly to obtain its full potential.
Are you making good use of your brain to achieve success in life?
Or are you wasting time, procrastinating and day dreaming?
And just drifting with no ambitions and no clear objectives?
Some people sometimes say other people have no brains!
Especially when the other people do not seem to be able to make use
of what they have…
Some people say every one has two brains!
They actually mean to say that we have right brain and left brain, which
are two halves of the brain.
Many people say the left brain is the digital brain and the right brain is the
analog brain.
So, some people ask…what is the right brain and what is the wrong brain?
There is no right or wrong brain!
How you use your brain is completely up to you.
The results you get will depend on how your brain is used or how much
of it is used.
What matters the most is to have the correct mindset, if you really want
to improve your life.
If you have the wrong mindset and have a negative and defeatist attitude
where you give up too soon without trying your best, then you are not
going to make much progress to make improvements in your life.
Or if you think you already know everything and are not willing to learn
new things or take some calculated risks, you will also not be successful
in getting what you want.
Or if you have the handout mentality and expect free money without
doing anything or working for it, you also will not go far to achieve
your goals.
If you are always procrastinating or indecisive and cannot make up
your mind, you will be suffering from “analyze until paralysed or anti-
improvement syndrome” and will miss many great opportunities.
When things go wrong, it is no use to blame every one and every thing
but yourself and refuse to face and solve the problems encountered.
There are many successful people who are willing and ready to help
people who need help but these people must also be willing and be
prepared to do something to help themselves.
It is very important to have a positive, achievement oriented and action
driven mindset because the brain in each of us can really enable us to
achieve wonders if we know how to make best use of it.
Do you know that the right brain and left brain control the opposite sides
of our bodies?
The right brain controls the left side of our bodies and the processes when
we see things with the left eye. The left brain controls the right side of our
bodies and the proccesses when we see things with the right eye.
The informaion which we receive all the time is processed differently by
the right brain and the left brain.
The right brain uses the visual approach and looks at the whole picture
before studying the details. The left brain uses a verbal way to analyze
the pieces and puts them together to form the big picture.
It is often said that the right brain is involved in creative processes while
the left brain is more analytical.
If we activate and use more of the right brain, we become more creative.
When we use more of the left brain, we tend to be more analytical.
Do you know whether you are leftbrained or rightbrained?
It does not really matter which side of the the brain you use the most…
Provided you are happy with what you doing…
And as long as you are not harebrained!
Or often jumping to the wrong conclusions and making decisions which
are not too clever!
The two brains or the two hemispheres of the brain work together to enable
us to function as normal human beings.
Have you heard of or seen this quote?
“The mind is everything. What you think, you become,”
This quote is commonly referred to as originating from the Buddha.
This is not about religion.
This is about having the right or correct mindset and strong focus on
our goals and targets which we want to hit.
It shows how powerful our brain can be and we should make very
good use of it.
It does not mean that we can become anything we want, just by
thinking about it.
If we want to get what we want, we will have to work towards
reaching and achieving it.
Have you watched “The Brain” which is a very popular television
scientific reality show from China?
The producers of this show really wanted to test the limits of the
human brain and see how powerful it can be.
This show was aimed at finding the best brains in the world. The top
brains from different countries competed to win the various contests
and kept the audience amazed with their fantastic and astounding
memory skills and brain powers.
This is not about normal and ordinary mind reading performances
in magic shows.
The contestants were champions in the own countries and some
have won international memory contests.
The feats accomplished by the competitors in this reality show
were really incredible and they have to be seen to be believed.
Ordinary people will not even know where to start, let alone
accomplish such almost impossible tasks.
The panel of judges were made up of some celebrities, artistes
and neuroscientists.
Some examples of the very, very difficult tasks…
The contestant was blindfolded and left in a giant maze which was
specially designed by scientists to trap and confuse anyone in it…
and had to not only find the way out but also remember the steps
taken, retrace them to find and collect the four hidden “wildcards”
hanging on the handles of the doors in the maze and get out of the
maze again.
Another contestant had to remember the exact sequence of the
playing cards in one deck in less than 30 seconds and then had
to use another deck to reproduce the sequence all within five
minutes.
In another contest, the task was to identify three persons from
a group from the audience, just by meeting them only once and
then looking at three randomly chosen side silhouettes.
Another contestant was blindfolded and had to use only hearing
to correctly identify piano tunes given out from three household
objects which were randomly chosen from twenty different types
of objects with different shapes and sizes.
Other contestants were blindfolded and had to solve 20 Rubik’s
Cubes within 10 minutes.
It is really thrilling and amazing to watch the contestants complete
their incredible tasks and become world champions in the contests.
And to see the master of ceremony shout “Correct!” each time the
answer by a contestant turned out to be true and perfectly spot on
when the answers were revealed.
The show used huge settings and props. However, the props were
not destroyed or wasted after each show. A special theme park has
been built to keep the huge maze used in the show and other big
props, so that people can visit.
The brain is really very powerful and can help us to achieve many
amazing things if we know how to explore its full potential..
It will be a real waste of our time if we do not make good use of
the brains that we have now to improve our lives.
We are not getting younger and there is so much we want to do
for ourselves and our loved ones.
Life is short and uncertain.
We should remember this quote from Napoleon Hill,
“Don’t wait. The time will never be just right”.
Many people say time is money.

We should always use our brains well. We should not hesitate to
make good use of them while we still can
Or one day, we will regret when we wake up and find…
In my left brain, there is nothing right!
In my right brain, there is nothing left!
If you find yourself in this situation, it will be very scary and sad,
won’t it?
So, before you lose it, make good use of it!
Have a happy and productive day, every day!
