23 WAYS TO INCREASE THE THINKING CAPACITY OF YOUR BRAIN
A person’s brain is like a computer processor. It can get and use a lot of information at one time—but it can also be sluggish. Those who feel that it’s hard to stay focused at work may want to invest some time in developing their thinking capacity.
Scientists believe that an average human uses just 10 percent of their brain function. If you think about it, that’s a lot of unused power. Many times, this happens because you don’t take the time to train your brain. Here’s the good news—there are endless ways to do that.
