Work hard
harloe, after this entry gonna get started doing some work before going for a jog. Like finally? I kept procrastinating when it comes to exercising... i think its gonna be a month since i last jogged.
Anyway, ydae i found a website which i find the articles enlightening.It talks about whether "intelligence is the most important key to success" ?
quoted from the passage
What determines success in life?
Is success in life largely determined by the intelligence you were born with? What is intelligence, anyway, and how important is it in life?
The 5 kinds of intelligence
Social intelligence: This is the ability to understand another's actions, feelings and motivations. This cannot be measured by a standard intelligence test, yet it may well be the most valuable characteristic for success in life. This type of intelligence leads to getting along amicably and working well with others. Often this skill appears early in life, as when children can sense others' feelings and react appropriately. For example, the child may ask, "Why is Mommy sad today?"
Athletic intelligence: Highly coordinated intelligence and communication between the brain and the rest of the body characterize those with high athletic intelligence. Until recently, this skill was not considered "mental," now, however, more scientists are accepting the idea that it is the brain's superior capacity in this area that permits, for example, athletes and ballerinas to calculate the time, length and strength of their movements.
Linguistic intelligence: People with this ability are highly capable in verbal and written expression. This talent enables people to read and quickly grasp concepts. They express themselves easily and many become able writers, newspaper reporters, teachers or lawyers.
Logical intelligence: This is the skill involved in reasoning and solving complex abstract problems. A high level of logical intelligence can lead to success in such careers as mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, engineering, physics and biology.
Spatial intelligence: Those with high levels of spatial intelligence can easily see relationships between colors, dimensions and perspectives, and they are usually sensitive toward music and art. They generally are most successful as painters, sculptors, musicians, architects or designers.
The Bible, especially in the book of Proverbs, gives young people many principles about lasting success. These God-inspired proverbs focus more on character-building traits of diligence, effort, perseverance, honesty and the respect of God rather than on those traits of raw, natural intelligence.
