Every living being on the earth has its unique feature. For example, a cheetah can run at 120kmph, a humming bird can flap its wings 80 beats/second, a camel can survive half a year without water, a cockroach can survive a nuclear explosion, and we have a unique ability to think and reason. It is a profound factor that puts us on the top of the food chain.
Possession of the largest cerebral cortex, relative to brain size, makes us “the fittest” in the “evolution game.” We are continuously evolving, learning more about the world than we knew previously. It is indeed a gift. Although, this unintended chauvinism has blinded us. Are we harnessing our brain power completely? How much of the total capacity are we using? Can we estimate the capability of our brain?
The myth that we only use 10 percent of our brain is false. Humans have used way more than 10 percent of their brain. However, it is a fact that we understand only 10 percent of our brain. It is a conundrum in itself. We cannot harness enough brain power to understand the brain. Anyways, I don’t believe in stated facts; I like to experiment and derive proof. So here’s an experiment.
STEP 1: Take two containers sterilize them.
STEP 2: Fill each one with one part uncooked rice and two parts water. To produce intended results without error make sure that the source of each ingredient is common.
STEP 3: Label one as “hate” and the other as “love.”
STEP 4: Mentally personify the containers and treat them according to their labels, i.e., express hate and love accordingly.
STEP 5: Repeat, twice a day, for a week.
Before you declare me insane, try the experiment, don’t believe me. The results are astonishing and cannot be explained by science. If you think science can explain everything, try proving quantum entanglement. In my defense, quantum entanglement was referred to as “spooky action” by Einstein and is till date, unexplained..

Did the experiment undermine your presupposed understanding of the world? How could this possibly happen? I have no answer. But, it is clear that science underestimates the “power of thought.” Thoughts have the potential to mold your inner self and the outer world. We are what we think we are and by changing ourselves, we can change the world
As Uncle Ben said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” With the realization of the power, It becomes our responsibility to spread positivity using “good” thoughts instead of negativity. Though no supporting theory explains “power of thought” it is observed in the practical world, rendering it unfathomable.
Therefore, A smile can indeed make someone’s day. Keep smiling :)
If you have experimented, please share the images below and let everyone know. Also, I strongly encourage people who obtain a negative result to put forth their results, publicly.
