Intelligence Excusitis And Ways To Cure This Disease
In my last post we learnt about health excusitis in detail and its cure. This post is also in continuation to that series. Today we will learn about the second excusitis, known as Intelligence Excusitis and find the cures of it.
Intelligence excusitis or in other words "The Lack Of Brains" is very common. If we look at the statistics of this excusitis, we find that nearly 95 % of people around us have it in various doses. People do not talk about it much unlike they do with other excusitis, but deep inside they feel that they lack the knowledge for being successful and always suffer in silence due to this malady.
This intelligence excusitis happens due to our wrong perceptions of the intelligence:
1.We underestimate our own brainpower and intelligence.
2.We overestimate other's brainpower and intelligence.
Because of these false perceptions, people starts compromising with their abilities and sell themselves short. They are afraid to tackle challenging situations because they think they don't have brains for it. In this turmoil, the fellow who doesn't care about intelligence gets a job very easily.
The amount of intelligence has nothing to do with being a successful person in life. If you know very well how to use what you do have ignoring the fact you have more or less, you will always be ready to take risks and new challenges.
The thinking that guides you intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you may have.
For a child to be a scientist, he doesn't need to have a lightning-fast mind or a photogenic memory or very brilliant academic performance. The only thing he should have is keen interest in science. Interest and enthusiasm will decide his success in being a scientist.
We often hear that knowledge is power but this is not 100% true. It is a partial truth. If knowledge is not put to use, it is not power. Knowledge is only potential power and it must be used in a very constructive manner.
You will find many people who can learn by heart the facts of encyclopedia and tell you what you ask, but that type of knowledge is not practical. That person will not be able to run any business or guide others. Merely sticking to facts is not gonna do any good.
Three ways to cure Intelligence Excusitis:
Stop underestimating your intelligence and overestimating other's. Selling yourself short is a bad practice because you will end all the ways to improve yourself in this way. Concentrate on what you have and work on that talent. Start learning to manage the brains without worrying about your IQ level.
Develop positive attitude. Attitudes should always overcome the Intelligence. Always practice positive attitudes. "I'm winning" this attitude should be a part of your daily routine whether you are at home, office, vacation. Use your intelligence to find ways to win, not to prove that you will lose.
Do not be much concerned about memorizing the facts. Ability to think is of much greater importance that the storing facts. Always be creative and find better and new ways to do things. Try to be the part of the history not just record the history in your mind.
