What to do with all this.

Whenever the situation demands,neurons in a dendrite can become vegetative, they extend themselves to accommodate the extra inputs. Say an original dendrite housing memories about your friends and associated stimulus outgrow the original capacity, some thing like this happens. The Directories an computer drives are designed just like this. However, it is not just for storage but for all other functions these extensions perform their roles.

Just consider what happens if you took only ten everyday items - like the first ten things you did this morning - and combined them in every possible sequence. The result would be 3,628,800 different combinations.

Take 11 items, connect them, and the number of possible combinations is 39,916,800! So now try combining 100 billion cells in every possible way - when each one can make up to 20,000 different connections - and you get some idea of the processing capacity of the brain.
Consider this further: By the time an infant is two or three years old, the number of synapses is approximately 15,000 synapses per neuron. This amount is about twice that of the average adult brain.

The present studied guess says that an average person's brain handles as many as 12000 thoughts per day, the studies further express a guess that an alert person's brain can handle as many as 60000 ( sixty thousand ) thoughts per day; I.e. 5000 thoughts per hour and 800+ thoughts per minute. Now let us look at ourselves – ask yourself. Many of us do not reach to this level – most important reason being we do not try to use these capacities - just like an ordinary person can't run one mile in four minutes. What is important, that person has an intrinsic capacity to reach to these levels, but one has to stretch the abilities by continuous usage and conscious efforts. Looking around we can find accomplished performers doing their best. Another thing to remember is that these skills can be acquired, developed and perfected.
Better sensory co ordination will help you to concentrate and absorb best out of inputs.
More memory gives you wider and in depth insight and diverse emotional templates.
Better thinking ways will enable you to think dynamically ( logical, critical, creative, lateral and so on).

Dynamic thinking will enable you to have multiple meaningful options to solve the problems,
It will give you confidence.
Better solutions in consistent manner will give you the intelligent edge.
No power can stop you from doing what you aspire to do.

Practicing for running one mile in four minutes may be tough proposition for everybody;however, disciplining thinking process, is for the higher levels as above - is Zero cost and Zero exertion proposition.

May be you will need to feed your brain with lots of glucose and fresh air- that's all.
