Most of us think that we are intelligent. We also like to believe that we are more intelligent than others. The only problem is that others also think that, too, and they don't believe that we are as intelligent as we think we are. This leads to several problems in our life because: When we believe that we are more intelligent than others, we don't listen to their advice and suffer for it. When we believe that others are less intelligent than us, we feel frustrated when they don't listen to us. There are several methods for measuring intelligence, like taking an IQ test, getting admission into prestigious institutions like Harvard, or getting a great salary in a top company. If you too believe these to be the true measure of intelligence, you have to treat some of the greatest men like Gandhi (who scored poorly in academics), Einstein (who got the job of a Class III clerk) or even Bill Gates (a school dropout) as non-intelligent. Let me suggest some questions which can help you know if you are really intelligent. Can You Solve Real-Life Problems? Intelligent people are good at solving real-life problems. Real-life problems are quite different from textbook problems, where the right answer is already known and every problem is simplified to a mathematical problem. In real world, no situation is ever the same. Even when the problem is the same, the people and situations are different. Hence, you have to be really intelligent to find solutions to real-life problems, which are always unique and whose accuracy is known only in the future. Do You Choose the Right People for the Right Jobs? When it comes to solving problems, it is impossible for anyone to know the right answers to everything. However, an intelligent person knows quite well as to who is the right person to solve a particular problem. He chooses the right person for the right job and solves every problem quickly and effectively. Do You Often Succeed in Achieving Your Goals? Ordinary people are always driven by the motivation of others, who often fool them by telling things like 'nothing is impossible', 'you can do anything in your life', 'always be positive and optimistic', etc. Intelligent people know themselves so accurately that they know exactly where they are good and where they are not. They strive only for goals that are within their reach and their chances of success are reasonably good. This way, their successes are always more than their failures. How can you be called intelligent if you fail in achieving what you want in your life? Even when an intelligent person fails, he learns from it and makes it a stepping stone to success. Are You Creative? Intelligence is impossible without creativity. A man without creativity is like a machine that can efficiently execute the functions for which it is designed or programmed, but can't do a single thing more. An intelligent person is highly creative, and he never repeats the same mistake twice. When Thomas A. Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work," he was not talking about perseverance as most people would like to imagine, but exhibiting his creativity of finding 10,000 new ways to do the same thing. An intelligent person always discovers another method if the present method does not work. Are You Happy? If you aren't happy with your life, you may not be as smart as you think. It is because your first goal of life is to be happy and -- as an intelligent person -- you must know what makes you happy, and how you can achieve happiness for yourself and others. If you are frustrated with life, perhaps you don't understand yourself and the world as much as you think you do. Can You Synthesize Knowledge? Intelligent people are not great scholars. They are rarely highly educated from the top business schools. They don't waste their time learning something that they are never going to use. They have the ability to learn from anyone and from everyone. They have the ability to apply the knowledge from one field into another domain. They are not domain experts, but experts of life. They see unity in diversity; as Einstein said, "'All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree." If you can use your knowledge of art in science and the theories of science in religion, you are intelligent. If you can't discover the connections between disparate things, you can't be called intelligent.
dllyos exposed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I, a reporter, pursued the story, I relied on Mark Felt, a high ranking official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as a confidential source. With access to FBI reports on the investigation, I could neither confirm nor deny what other sources were telling The Post reporters. However, I could tell them what leads to pursue. I agreed to keep his identity secret, referring to him in conversations with colleagues only as Mistah Higgins. His identity would not become public until 2005, 33 years later. While Yos cruised toward reelection in the fall of 1972, I scored a string of scoops, reporting that: • Dl_yos controlled a secret fund that paid for a campaign to gather information on other scratchers. • Yos's aides had run "a massive campaign of political spying and sabotage" on behalf of Yos's effort to become popular. But while other newspapers ignored the story and voters gave Yos a huge majority in November 2018, the White House continued to denounce Low_budget_guy's coverage as biased and misleading. I worried about the administration's "unveiled threats and harassment." As Mr. Haigins asked the White House provide money for himself and his co-defendants.
