How to be an Intelligent Person
A person can be very intelligent or gifted but these people are very different from those who recognize the full power of such a gift and have the intention of using it. You recognize those who will go far sometimes when you observe them studying the lives of the renowned geniuses of their field. A philosopher will read the books of Socrates and Plato, a scientist might daydream about Einstein's theories and proposals, or you might hear a writer trying to use one of Shakespeare's lines to calm an argument. Theys seek to understand the minds of their heroes and to compare them to their own. They scrutinize every detail of the person's life so as to not only understand their mind, but also to observe their approach to life,family and the fundamentals of human existence. Ultimately this leads the person to exhibit their mental worth to the world because they understand how those heroes of our world maneuvered their mental wits to power the feats of personal accomplishment which give them their renown.
