Here's a Spoon of Philosophy for the day...
"And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all" Socrates
*In other words, we are all intelligent. There is no such thing asstupidity for it only exists when one is in doubt of their potential to be smart. When an individual, does not doubt but think they are not smart, they are characterized as the smartest. It is in doubt and self-hatred that an individual welcomes stupidity. This idea of stupidity begins to cloud one's doubted mind to the point in which they begin to act & think stupidly. In contrast to the doubter, the thinker & acceptor (the individual that is aware that they know nothing) is more closer to achieving intelligence then the doubter because they haven't erased the idea that they have the ability to be an intellect. It is the doubter that permanently deletes the idea of potential because the doubter DOUBTs. Socrates is saying that even believing that you are not intelligent is intelligent because you are aware of the intelligence (that you think) you lack. This is the thinker, acceptor and the confident; the individuals that believe and are aware of their potential to be smart. You have a mind, Right? An ability to think, Right? Let me guess, you have a great instinct as to when something is either right or wrong? So why don't you think you are smart? Blame society, blame your family, blame yourself, but how about putting aside ALL the Blame and trading it in for Lessons, things in which you've learned from, so that you can fix to build. Blame & Doubt go hand in hand but Confidence and Faith in oneself, go heart to heart. Knowledge equals intelligence & when you have a brain...you have knowledge & most of all, you belong to the exceptionally smart. So today, let us ALL embrace our inner geek by veiling ourselves away from Mr. Stupidity & patting our brains on the forehead. When in doubt, refrain from crinkling your foreheads & instead warm up your brains with a hot washcloth. Your brain deserves it, even if you think it doesn't ;) So from here on out my Steve Urkels, no more blame & please, no more DOUBT! You hold God's gift of intelligence; a brain.

ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent blog! I loved it! There are times where I feel like I'm simply not smart. After reading this blog, now I know that everyone is smart in their own way! My absolute favorite quote from this blog is,"Blame & Doubt go hand and hand but Confidence and Faith in oneself, go heart to heart." I love this quote and because of it, I appreciate the brain or knowledge that God has given me! Hopefully, for future purposes, I will embrace "the smart in me" even if sometimes I feel that I'm not fit to accomplish a mind/thinking task! Anything is possible if you put your heart and mind into it! HooRah for all Brains!
