cure yourself of excusitis pt 2

Intelligence excusitis

Most of us make two basic errors with respect to intelligence:

• We underestimate our own brainpower
• We overestimate the other fellow's brainpower.

What really matters is not how much intelligence you have but how you use what you do have. The thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than the quantity of your brain power.

3 ways to cure intelligence excusitis:

1) Never underestimate your own intelligence, and never over estimate the intelligence of others. Don't sell yourself short. Concentrate on your assets. Discover your superior talents. Remember, it's how you use your brain that counts.

2) Remind yourself several times daily, "My attitudes are more important than my intelligence." Practice positive attitudes. See the reasons why you can do it, not the reasons why you can't. Develop an "I'm winning" attitude. Put your intelligence to creative positive use. Use it to find ways to win, not to prove you will lose.

3) Remember that the ability to think is of much greater value than the ability to memorize facts. Use your mind to create and develop ideas, to find new and better ways to do things. Ask yourself, "Am i using my mental ability to make history, or am i using it merely to record history made by others?"
