MEMO FROM NARA

‘No one is intelligent, but everyone is intelligent’ – a stupid statement which is contradictory and confusing. I think the statement itself is an intelligent one! The power of learning, understanding and reasoning is intelligence. All these mental abilities are possessed by every human being. But how far they are used in day-to-day life is the question that determines whether one is intelligent or not. Intelligent people are considered as superior in a society. They think differently and excel in their efforts to achieve great things in life. Most of the scientists posses the above qualities to qualify as intelligentsia. Those who have not studied in schools and colleges are also intelligent in a way because they carry on works which even an educated person who claims as intelligent cannot do. The skill and talent, learned from experience make a person intelligent too. Intelligent people think before they leap. Such precautions help them to escape some serious risks, but those who are not intelligent do not think before they leap. In some incidents they are cheated by the so-called intelligent people. All intelligent people are not always intelligent because they fail in their intelligence owing to various reasons. Therefore the statement - ‘No one is intelligent and everyone is intelligent’ holds good for all of us. Intelligent people are successful sometimes, not always. Similarly non-intelligent people are also successful in their life according to the circumstances. Application of intelligence for good performance and achievements is essential for efficient services everyone can offer. The power of intelligence is not the sole property of some people, but it is with everyone. If motivated, the power starts working to achieve great things in life. Hence motivation or kindling the brain is an important activity which I undertake through NARA”s NOTEPAD to make everyone intelligent. Am I intelligent? What you think?
