and i think i succeed on a regular basis, i think i run at about 1-2% tops

next time some idiot tells u ur only using 10% of your brain, ask em to scoop out the other 90% u lose just 10% of your brain and ur not gonna be right anymore.

The figure of using only 10% of your brain is a myth. That claim was probably made at a time when we only knew the function of 10% of the brain, and we assumed that they rest wasn't being used.

You don't use all of it to think, only a small part is used for figuring things out, while a large amount of it is used for memory. Elephants have larger brains that us, but they aren't really all that "smart". But they do have excellent memories, better than humans. The portion of their brain that is used for memory is much larger than ours.
