Paralysis from Business Information Overload

Our brains are made up of special cells called nerve cells. A nerve cell has a bulb-like cell body attached to a long nerve fiber, which is like a wire, and it actually carries very tiny electrical signals. These signals are the information that tell us what we feel, what we think, what we see, what we touch. They also tell our bodies how to move and how to function. All this information is carried by nerve fibers to and from our brains. There is so much activity going on as we process, think, reflect and analyze information. Everything we see, smell, hear, taste and feel is collected and processed to navigate us through our lives. Our world is a virtual database that feeds our brain and is analyzed by our very own intelligence.
