I’m sure you’ve heard stories about 7-year-olds being able to master 14 different languages in the world, or you must have seen someone memorize 100 names or 100 mobile numbers quickly and accurately.
sure I, you will ask, “why they can be like that?”.
We begin to think that the high level of intelligence of people is due to the naturality of birth. Really?
The initial explanation from me, is that in fact we are all born on this earth like a blank blackboard. Naturally, even a blank blackboard can still set aside a little chalk in it. Here we are, inherited some things from our predecessors as well.
However, in the end, our future still depends on the work ethic you do. There are many brilliant people in this world as well who don’t mean much. This is because, they simply have no interest or desire to refine the talents and intelligence inherent in themselves.
On the other hand, there are a lot of people who have a lot of chances against them and continue to do brilliant things. Although they were passed down from their predecessors as fools.
then, how can a fool have such a brilliant idea?
- Because they read books (non-stop):
If books become your best friends, of course the knowledge absorbed will stimulate the brain with new ideas. Remember every piece of information in the book.
Reading is a mandatory thing that needs to be applied and done as a habit.
Practice this habit of reading, and with practice, of course, the more the day will get better every time.
2. Because they get along and are in a smart person’s environment:
just like ordinary people, you need to talk and communicate with smart people as well. Invite smart people / friends to discuss, exchange ideas.
If you want to make your brain sharper, smarter, and faster, then you must spend a lot of time with smart people, they will take you into a science that your mind did not have before.
This will raise the bar and will judge how smart you can judge yourself. This stretches how your brain can think “If they know all that, why don’t I? I’ll find out!”.
3. Because brilliant ideas come because they hate stupidity:
People who understand how true intelligence happens, they are actually created because they understand the stupidity that exists within them and they act to correct it.
If you understand that you are stupid in mathematics, and often make mistakes because your calculations are not good, true intelligence will correct it! Act and solve the problem of stupidity, so that if solved, then your math lessons will increase.
Fools will still be stupid if they don’t know what to do, because fools have a lower limit than smart people. Smart people know that they have to improve and have to keep going.
That is, part of being a “Smart” person is to shift your mentality to curiosity and want to improve it immediately. Smart people really know this, and they really also believe in how the process of being a fool.
4. For they always see the good of every knowledge:
It’s stupid if you feel you’re the smartest person, saying “Oh, that’s really irrelevant to me, I don’t need that information.”
Smart people are those who always say, “That’s so interesting! I don’t know about it, yes, I want to know the rest!”.
However, the knowledge you absorb must have a good value. Smart people always embrace the science that comes to themselves, therefore, they are always looking for opportunities to develop awareness of this world.
5. Because they really work hard:
Anyone who thinks being “smart” is a very difficult path. Learning and developing should be fun, of course you have to enjoy what you feel, because the fact is that hard work to explore skills is the only way to learn something outside and inside.
What they do is always solve a problem. They grow by this principle continuously constantly.
This is the key to improvement, and intelligence in general.
