The human brain - A triumph of biological engineering...
There is nothing more important than the organ between your two ears. Your living brain.
Weighing only 5 percent of your body mass but consuming 20 percent of every breath you take while also consuming vast amounts of glucose, there's simply no other organ greater than it. Ever! That should not come as a suprise if you did Biology at school, as you would have learned that it controls everything that happen in your body. Everything. Your thought processes, thinking, intuition, common sense, biological processes regulations, identities, image and all the works.
Everything you perceive on this planet is because of it. Every experience you've ever had originated through it, and all other experiences forthcoming. Put simply, its the most amazing thing you will ever know on this planet, because all learning happens through it.
Yet it amazes me what people do to their most precious organ. They smoke(smoking exposes your brain to nicotin. It destroys brain cells. It hardens your arteries, thus restricting blood flow to cells and organs, especially your lungs. How can you ever live without breathing people!?), drink alcohol(alcohol alcohol alcohol. Do you know what alcohol does to your body with continuous consumption? First it taxes your liver. It dehydrates you body, reducing the flow of water to body cells), do drugs, not have enough sleep(damn Im so guilty of violating this to the maximum). People how do you expect to do well in life when you are destroying the very thing that you'd need to accomplish all those things. Your brain is your most important asset. You should do the best you can to protect it at all times. You should stay off smoking, limit your alcohol intake to recommended levels and have at least 8 hours sleep. You should also eat healthy and exercise.
I know people are smart, but should be even smarter when it comes to protecting your most important organ. You should because it will affect the quality of your life.
Live life to the fullest by taking care of your brain :).
