than more than 1 lakh crore living organisms on this blue planet. The long story shot, I am talking about the human brain. But, it is not about brain. I wonder what gives brain its extra ordinary capabilities that make human the king of the planet. The abilities that create emperors, painters, musicians, footballers, founders, innovators, terrorists, hackers and many more. Since 2020, I have been extensively reading neuro science and listening to podcasts, tedtalks and many more. Reasons unknown. But, the brain makes me curious. The talents, the habits, the memories, the consciousness, etc. In a way, it shifted my earlier readings of Freud, Jung, Lacan, etc. Both contradicts and agrees at the same time – at varying degrees. But, I find this interesting aspect of human brain that makes the race superior – its ability to delegate. Wow. In HR classes, management classes, sales classes, we speaks this in volumes. I heard it many times. But, I don’t know the power of delegation till I actually start learning brain.

THE FRONTAL LOBE looks into personality and emotions, higher thinking skills, like problem solving; and controlling movement. THE TEMPORAL LOBE is assigned with hearing and other senses, besides helping you in with language and reading. THE PARIETAL LOBE is involved with your senses, attention, etc. THE OCCIPITAL LOBE works for the eyes to see, including recognition of shapes and colors.

This is not as simple as it writes. Thalamus, cerebellum, brain stems, medulla oblongata, the limbic system, etc. with varying jobs and responsibilities work 24X7 to make human human. Suppose, one part is on leave, responsibilities of that part remain unattended. If hypothalamus is not working, no memories are stored or retrieved. If amygdola is a casual leave, no emotions are managed. The lesson is simple – if you want to be superior, delegate the works. Delegate as much as you can. And, once delegated, don’t overlap.

And, comes the best ability – the neuroplasticity. Capability to adapt. Wow. Adapt to any condition without losing its primary ability to control energy consumption. It keeps on changing with new conditions, new learning. And, it is designed to forget unrequired data. And keep it sustainable.
