Most of you may not have a clue about me. I am just an ordinary XY Homosapien among billions aspiring for my dreams to come true.
I have grown up watching people speaking things such as
intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and so on. But my question is Are all these
things inherited? Is it by birth? Is it impossible to achieve these things?
The series of questions just do not end here.
1. How much does intelligence level differ?
2. How to check someone’s intelligence?
If you are searching for these answers, then keep on reading.
As per my knowledge, there are two kinds of people: -
*Genius
types
*Effort types.
Genius Types
Since we can’t deny the fact that intelligence is inherited to
some degree. They are called Geniuses.
In this advanced era, he/ she is god
gifted still stands true. At a very small age, I understood that we aren’t
created equal.
Most of the researchers have also found that the IQ of children
at birth is strongly related to their biological parents. They state that 50%
of the difference in intelligence is due to genetics.
But Genes are not Destiny
Moving to the second category i.e. Effort types. They are the
ones who have ruled over the world with their sheer hard work and perseverance.
Effort Types
The environmental factors are also strongly responsible for IQ.
You can surely increase intelligence.
The various techniques involved are: -
➨ Deep thinking: - One should think about the things as deep as
possible. It helps to learn things from the root, polishes our analysing skills,
and margin of error becomes negligible.
➨ Learn from the past: - It involves learning from not only your
mistakes but also from the experience of others.
➨ Develop a skill: - A skill such as painting, writing, singing
or any other activity can be helpful because these activities involve both
sides of the brain (left and right part).
➨ Practice: - This is the most important factor. Revision and
practice are the fundamentals to memorize things for a longer period.
But putting the efforts in the right direction is important.
You can’t ask fish to climb the tree. You need to search the best and right
things for you. Introspect and try to know your abilities. Try to gather
knowledge and apply it until you succeed.
“Hard work never deceives”. No matter which family or clan you
are from. Hard work can always unleash the dormant potential within you.
Yes, you heard it right.
“Hard work can beat Genius”
Because intelligence is not about scoring perfect 100 in exams
or answering first in the class.
Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and
skills.
No matter how many times you fail. Don’t give it up. Keep it
up. Turn it upside down.
In the next blog, there will be a detailed discussion about
intelligence. Thank you for reading.
