Intelligence is not always innate or means you have all the answers, but honed through specific habits. Being smart does not necessarily mean getting 100 on a test. Practise the following:-
1. Be the one who protect accuracy and not ego
2. Read across different subjects
3. Connect unrelated ideas and find solutions
4. Think before you speak.. delay reaction
5. Embrace being wrong
6. Appreciate uncertainty
7. Ask precise questions, do not be gullible for quick answers
8. Turn your traumatic experiences into traumatic IQ. Sharpen your brain to read signs of danger with every trauma. 9. Develop mnemonic communication -You start reading between the lines, you start hearing what
10. Plan for outcomes before they happen and without becoming paranoid. Develop meta communication bey reding gaps in messages not spoken.
11. Develop emotional granularity
12. Develop a photographic memory
13. Hold the space between two opposite points at the same time- dialectical. You can therefore understand that persons who are wrong till can get your compassion
14. Keep focused in chaos, spot patterns before
15. Empathise not sympathise
