Go, do it now! Are you having trouble? Yeah, that’s because you can’t devote that other 90% to just whatever you want. The parts of the brain are specialized, so trying to use all of it at once isn’t going to make you any smarter. That would be like trying to become a better writer by striving to use all the keys on your keyboard in every sentence.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_16241_6-most-frequently-quoted-bullsht-statistics.html"&gt;The 6 Most Frequently Quoted Bullsh*t Statistics | Cracked.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://alexch.tumblr.com/post/217112383</link><guid>http://alexch.tumblr.com/post/217112383</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:25:04 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>thedailywhat:
