The brain is the most important and vital human organ. The human brain consists of the left brain and right brain. The right brain is often regarded as a source of "creative" ideas. Such an assumption is incorrect and unfalse. But keep in mind that there are two different ways of thinking that in essence, one of a brain is no better than the other.
Basically, both are very important, therefore we must be able to develop both in a balanced and deliberate so that each brain function can be mutually reinforcing. Imbalance in the functioning of the brain resulted in one of the brains less functioning.
Most of us (humans) tend to pay more attention to analysis, logic, and math and rarely pay attention and optimize right brain function. In fact, students at school only function their right brain and use its function in subjects like art and music. The percentage of right-brain use by students is no more than 10%. A study conducted in the United States. In the study the respondents were 311,207 adults. The results of this study states that as many as 44.2% of respondents used to use the left brain, 27.4% of respondents used to use the brain in balance and 28.3% accustomed to using the right brain.

Based on the results of these studies can be understood that most of us are more dominant to use the left brain than the right brain.
The way a person solves a problem is certainly different, this can be said because of the level of intellectual and different abilities possessed by a person. Some research results show that a person's success begins with the way he thinks in determining the pattern of his actions. Most people are successful in this world, using intuition to solve problems encountered. People who are successful in the West precisely because of more use of the ratio.
It shows that success will be easier to obtain if one is able to use the right intuition (right brain) and ratio (left brain) in a balanced way. While the results of research by Olivia F, only 3% of the world's population who use his brain in balance.
From the phrase that Steve Jobs once said the following shows that intuition is stronger than intellect.
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. [Source]
The ability of intuition has been scientifically proven, that intuition is more creative and more capable of solving problems encountered. Unfortunately, only a very little of us respect for intuition (right-brain functioning).
How to balance the right brain and left brain
One way to balance the right brain and left brain can be done with simple exercises. Although this exercise or a simple game, but not all people can directly do.
First, thrust the thumb of the left hand and the little finger of the right hand, shoving both hands toward the right. Instead, thrust the thumb of the right hand and the little finger of the left hand, shoving both hands toward the left. Techniques such as these can function the left brain and right brain in balance. To do this exercise takes two minutes every day.
Another way to balance the right brain and the left brain can be done by drawing a certain pattern on the blank paper with the left and right hands together, inward, outward, up and down. This method aims to enable left motor nerves and right motor nerves are balanced. In addition, this way can also explore the visual potential. Do this way for 2 minutes every day for 2 weeks in a row.
Conclusion
Based on the description above, it can be concluded that creative ideas born from successful people using left brain and right brain with balance. Two methods and techniques for balancing brain function maximally above, can be used in learning and occasional teachers should conduct training or exercises to balance the left and right brain in their students.
