I hate to say it, but that's a myth. There's a good discussion at the link below, in the section titled "Popular misconceptions."

I think it is impossible to use 100% of all the available grey cells in our brain. If this were possible we would never get sick, never have to go to school as we would know everything and our immune systems would be operating at 100% perfection.
No one is perfect therefore no one can be using 100% of their brains.

I don't think the parts used as mentioned above have anything to do with thought, but rather storage. The rest can act like a buffer that takes in information around us.

Human curse, I guess. But if we all used 100% of our brains, we'd be completely insane. Wishing I could grasp the concept of telepathy/telekinesis, though...

I think if we used 100% of our brain that we would be the smartiest peoples in the world. Then you don't need to go to school (which is so boring) and that would be so fun.

some monk-ish sh*t would open up the enlightened mind, but if we used up 100 i think the rest of our body would not work or we would have no need for it
