PRESENTATION OUTLINE

intelligence

and why it is so important

First, let me give you some reasons why intelligence is so important.

INTELLIGENCE...

Now this is not only my opinion... Let's see who thinks the same.

SAPIOSEXUAL:
noun - "A person sexually attracted to intelligence or the human mind."

"You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace."
-Frank McCourt

"I not only use all the brains that I have, but all I can borrow."
-Woodrow Wilson

"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day."
- Douglas Adams

"KNOWLEDGE
is
POWER"
-Francis Bacon

Alright, now that we've got that part established I'm sure you're wondering how exactly you can become more intelligent...

Here are a few ways:

  • Explore and be creative.
  • Talk to interesting people.
  • Read interesting books.
  • Ask challenging questions (to both yourself and others).
  • Absorb everything - but stay critical!

books to get you started:

  • The Diary Of Anne Frank; Anne Frank
  • The DaVinci Code; Dan Brown
  • The Selfish Gene; Richard Dawkins
  • Cosmos; Carl Sagan
  • ...

And finally:

"The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence."
- Charles Bukowski
