CREATIVE GENIUS

Structure
of the human brain:
·
30
billion brain cells
·
each
brain cell has cell body
·
from
central cell body extend 10-100 long tentacles called dendrites
·
each
dendrites has 10-1000 chemical sacks called dendritic
spines
·
electrical
energy pulses through those dendrites and shoots into the dendritic
spine (shaped like a mushroom), leaping across a tiny microscopic gap and into
another dendritic spine, thereby shooting
electrochemical information along that other dendrite and into another cell
body and so on and so forth throughout your brain
·
# of
chemical reactions that takes in your brain every second is a minimum of
100,000.
·
So
what’s the # of
possible patterns of connection in your brain?
·
according to a professor (Inokin?)
at
·
best
estimate of # of atoms in the universe is 10 to the 80th
·
As
advances in computer technology and electron microscopy continued, he made a
further estimate, still conservative, that the # of possible connections in
your brain is the number 1 followed by six and a half million miles of standard
sized IBM type-written zeroes.
·
Neural
circuitry of the human brain is conservatively estimated to be 1400 times more
complex than the entire global telephone network.
·
Every
human is gifted with the power of creative genius—that’s not just some
theoretical concept, but rather is something practical, something you can bring
to bear on improving the quality of your life.
·
Businesses
are busy redesigning themselves and are increasingly realizing that human
creativity is their primary sustainable competitive advantage. We’re on the verge of a new renaissance,
which centers upon the development of intellectual capital.
·
Learn
to mine your own creative energy and invest yourself in your own intellectual
potential by focusing your attention on personal growth and always search and
reach for your own particular arete and potential.
·
Courage
to open your mind and try something new empowers you and expands your horizons
exponentially.
1.
Courage
is rooted in a Latin word that means heart.
2.
Courage
is a quality of the heart; it means opening your heart in order to open your
mind.
