Mindfulness:


No wonder humanity made a quantum leap forward in the evolution in the century in which tertiary education was opened to women.

Mindfulness:


I agree with everything but would like to modify the last sentence - if you allow me. If you do not, I will do it anyway.

All this hard work gibberish.
My father is a walking encyclopedia and a man who I consider to be intellectual and with a foresight like no other. He has predicted the situation as we know it in the Middle East today a long time ago and the precision with which he has done so is astonishing. However, trust me when I say he has not acquired his knowledge and understanding by blood and sweat. He is far too comfortable to do it in this way. He loves reading. I do not know anyone who has read more books and newspapers than he has. He has enjoyed reading and learning and it has proven to be a very successful method.

But reading is blood and sweat too...
Lucky you if you actually enjoy reading all materials . Most intelligent people read. The time it takes them to read and assimilate and then interpret what they've read is what now differentiates them from your regular person. They just need a much shorter time
The knowledge doesn't just fall on them. They must have read other materials somewhere.

Mindfulness:


Why would I read all materials? It is not even possible to. I read whatever calls my attention and maintains it. I love reading. I am neither sweating nor bleeding when I read.

There were classes in my school and university days when I was sweating and bleeding and others which I was looking forward to with great eagerness and enjoying so much that time flew. Guess which ones I scored better at?

eyinjuege:

My interpretation of the line sweating and bleeding from the other post was that knowledge doesn't just fall on you. You must have come into contact with a a theory/idea/information/material. Whether you just skimmed through it, or heard people discussing it, or you enjoyed reading it or not there must have been some effort on your part however minimal to get the knowledge.

Yes intelligence is hereditary.

To those with low IQ, try nd get married to people with Average or high IQ to boost ur kid's ministry

Many other factors such as the environment, SES, etc. also contribute to intelligence too nd not just hereditary.

Is Intelligence Inherited In A Family?

"An apple doesn't fall far from the tree" - English proverb.

I spent some years of my life teaching pupils/students at different times from Basic 1 to SS 3. Over these years, I was also able to meet with most of the parents of my pupils/students. One particular thing I observed was that pupils/students whose academic performances were very poor and who lacked the capacity to understand the various subjects taught, plus inability in exhibiting creativity, either had parents who were not 'averagely' intelligent or if they had one parent who happened to be intelligent, they didn't take after that parent; they took after the other in mentality and character.

I also observed that some kids might be intelligent, smart and academically sound while some or all of their siblings would be unintelligent and indifferent to creativity. After meeting both parents of such families, I observed that the intelligent child often took after either the mum or dad who is intelligent in attitude, mentality and character; in fact, sometimes, I have noticed physical appearances and features as part of the resemblance in nature. Have you ever wondered why some people do not study as hard as you do to understand the contents and materials of a course, and even teach you? Such people do not need to read much to understand! It is in the gene. Don't forget the brain is the seat of intelligence biologically; if children can take resemblance of one parent in terms of eyes, nose, mouth, way of walking, way of talking, etc, what stops them from taking semblance of the brain too?

When an intelligent person didn't inherit his/her intelligence from either parents, check deeper, there could be someone in either the mother's side or father's side he/she must have gotten it from. It is this inheritance that gives children the interest to learn, understand, cultivate the interest to pursue knowledge and exhibit creativity. It spurs the attitude of curiosity to learn in a child. Such inheritance of intelligence does not necessarily make a child to be intelligent but it gives the child that innate (natural) consciousness and desire to learn and create things in whatever field he/she finds himself/herself in future; whether in science, arts, entertainment, technology, education, finance or agriculture.

There is a high possibility that two naturally intelligent people will give birth to intelligent children if they marry. There is also a high possibility that the reverse will be the case if the two people involve are not 'averagely' intelligent. An apple never falls far from the tree.

This is the reason why I always opine that love is not enough in a marital affair; especially, when you as a young person, possesses some basic standards as regards an ideal and balanced family.

Rapmoney, does it mean if kemi who was once upon a time an olosho, that when she get married one of her daughter bumi might have the intelligence of an olosho?
However, if tunde who was once an agbero and later on retired, that one of he's son femi might have the duggedness of an agbero.
