Good thing to sit and think about. The part I keep turning over is where people put their intelligence rather than how much they have. Does that hold for something someone is plainly bad at and keeps doing for years anyway?

Today we learn about what intelligence is.

Before anything, you should be confident in yourself. Everyone is equally intelligent; it is just a matter of where they use their intelligence. It also means that nobody is greater and nobody is dumb. These things about "dumb" and "good" are what school teaches you. I will teach you the real deal and prove it to you.

Intelligence — it is the ability to understand things.

Now we will see if this is actually true or not through our observation. Most likely, many people will relate to the given example. Now, let us begin.

Why do I say that everyone is equally intelligent and that it is just a matter of where they use their intelligence? Let us understand this with an example.

Suppose there are two people: let us say A and B. A is very good at IQ tests and math—nobody comes near him in math—while B is very good at socializing.

When it comes to socializing, A never shows respect to anyone. Will you consider him an intelligent person? If IQ is absolutely right—where in school we are taught that if you are good at IQ tests or in science subjects, then it means you are intelligent, otherwise you are not—does it make sense at all? From here, we can also prove that it is just a matter of where they direct their energy. One focuses on problem-solving, so he eventually becomes good at math, and the other becomes good at socializing. So we cannot judge anyone based on this kind of merit. Intelligence cannot be measured. It is the same for everyone; it is just where we put it to use.

Our definition also applies here, because without an understanding of questions or how to talk to anyone, they won't be able to perform well on an IQ test or in socializing. So, understanding is a must. This understanding comes from direct experience.

This also shows what is wrong with our society. So, whoever feels like they are left behind or dumb: don't worry, do whatever you like to do because you have the same intelligence as everyone else. This definition makes everything perfectly balanced because nobody is greater and nobody is a loser—everyone should have confidence in themselves.
