48. The Conscious（有意识） Use of the Subconscious Mind（潜意识） New 对潜意识的有意识利用 1. Nearly all（几乎所有的） of us have had the experience（经历） of riding on a train with no one to talk to, or of sitting through（一直挺到结束） a concert（音乐会） or lecture to which we were not really（不完全是） listening, and having ideas tumble over（打翻） themselves in our minds.

Most of us use our conscious minds entirely（全部的） too hard and, as a result, our thinking and our decisions are not as good as（不如…一样好） they should be.
