What Makes A Person Intelligent?

 Imagine a kid entering a kindergarden and pampered by his teachers during initial days to stay back leaving his family behind. First day will be a worst nightmare for him believing things to go awry from the normal routine.Will this stop his parents from sending him back everyday to the same place initially taking time to stay outside unless the child is accustomed? 

 Gradually the child adapts to change and embraces the environment evolving itself and learning to adapt the obstacles using intelligence, memory and the power of reasoning. Every child has this in built quality of asking questions that are beyond its compatibility, eventually challenging his mentors with innovations suitable for the age.Creating new connections ,building bridges for perception, ensuring healthy verbal communication and encouragement goes a long way in accomplishing goals for the teaching faculty.

  Yet why do we observe some children are extremely bright beyond their biological age while others are average? Although mental age is determined by DNA and acts like coding for crazy human behaviours. At the same time environment and upbringing plays a vital role in  nurturing healthy offsprings . As we all know that babies are constantly absorbing our speech, and their brains are assimilating the pieces together to produce later.This develops their consciuosness, later on deciphering  in complex and verbal languages. 

  We are the Universe itself in the physical form to learn, observe and explore.Intelligence lies in all of us, we only have to explore its possibilities.David Wechsler  proposed one of the simplest and widely accepted definitions of Intelligence; "Intelligence is the capacity to understand the world and the resourcefulness to cope with its challenges."

  Another panel of experts defined it as- Intelligence refers to an individuals ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by careful thought.

 Putting into  simple words we can say "Intelligence is the ability to understand the problem and find a solution to that problem." Hence a person  can be termed as intelligent if he/she is able to solve the real life problems in the world easily or avoid such problems from triggering in the first place.

 However you can identify an intelligent person easily by his ability to understand himself, people around him ,the world and its arising problems so accurately that he tackles them skillfully and leads a happy and successful life  in this world.

 Leaving with the last quote to ponder with you,  

"The problem with this world is that intelligent people are full of doubts , while the stupid ones are full of confidence,"

Content and Harmony

 There is always an ongoing war between our desires and capacity.One always exceeds the other leaving the latter with alot of sacrifice and confronted hardships.This is the philosophy of life that none can deny.Only a handful of prestigious people can succeed in this conflict and they prove as role models for others, whom people want to  preach and actually imbibe how to master the art of self control with equal happiness. They are the saints of every religion who teach mankind to be a little slow and gtow from within leaving petty things aside and focus on more self upliftment with polished approach. This is although not as easy as said and therefore Allah has acknowledged this greed and guided him with some easy steps towards  contentnent and harmony.  Observing fast during this holy month of Ramzan will revoke a sense a contentment and gratitude towards Almighty's blessing keeping his mind and desires in peace and harmony.Not only this, besides it has immense heal...

Chase a dream every year

 Every human being has some inborne dreams and desires to once explore them in their lifetime. This is true,but relying on fate, we give up our secret longings that lay unsatisfied in our hearts.   Why not bring out the child in us by joining a class you always wanted to, or learning a new skill, or signing up a gym where you have seen  a dreamboat of a trainer! What basically prevents you from achieving those longings ? Is it the fear of losing money and not gaining results or the restraint of family and peer pressure? Or the set of responsibilities that lack you make a choice for yourself, always putting others beyond you.  Stop right away from those negative fear of family,friends, neighbours etc who have always used you as their assett.No wonder they are your real people let aside the fake ones, but now is the time you seize the opportunity and start flying with zeal and excitement without letting time fly away with unfulfilled desires. Have a holiday, take a tre...

A BURNING DESIRE TO WIN

 Not every wish becomes a dream, nor every dream we wake up with turns into reality. But  a passion to achieve something transforms into a burning desire and the purpose to fall for it will undermine all efforts taken. Just wishing for something will not bring definite results .Eventually desiring those riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession , then planning definite means and ways to acquire goals, and backing those plans with persistence that does not recognize failure  as dropouts, will bring success and riches. Seeing and imagining those goals day and night in the burning flames of coal creates Hard Labor , backed by luck and good fortune that follows the path. Those who burn their bridges and stake their entire future are bound to attain salvation.   There goes a story of a great warrior who faced a situation which ensured his success in the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loade...
