How to become more intelligent

Are you embarrassed when you don’t know the answer to a teacher’s question? Everybody has those times when they just feel like they don’t know anything. Of course, you can’t know everything, but no matter how smart you are, you can start becoming more intelligent today.

How do some people get to know so much? Good memory skills are only part of the answer: you also have to be curious. If you’re satisfied going through life with little or no understanding of things you’re unfamiliar with, you won’t learn much. Make a conscious effort to be more curious by reminding yourself that developing your curiosity will broaden your horizons and help to make you more intelligent.

62.       

Curiosity without initiative (主动性) is like having a car that’s out of gas—it won’t take you anywhere. Fortunately, when it comes to knowledge you’re never far from success. If you read a word that you don’t know, look it up in the dictionary. If you wonder how airplanes fly, read a book about it. If you want to know more about politics, pick up a newspaper. With the appearance of Internet, there’s less excuse for not finding something out that you want to know.

63.       

If you know how to use references, from an Internet search engine to an encyclopedia (百科全书), you’ll be able to find the information you want more quickly and effectively. Effective research skills will nourish your curiosity because you’ll become more confident in your ability to get knowledge. If your research skills leave something to be desired, take a class or workshop on how to research, ask a librarian or teacher or simply practise researching.

There’s a lot more to intelligence than “book smarts”. We can learn to perform everyday tasks at work, home and school better and more intelligently. If you don’t know how to do something, you’d better not ask somebody else to do it for you or show you how. In most cases, you’ll be able to figure it out on your own, either by trial-and-error or by researching. While it usually takes longer to figure something out than it does to ask about it, you’ll learn more about the overall process, and you’ll remember it better. Most importantly, you’ll exercise your problem-solving skills instead of your “do as you’re told” skills.

Most of us are good at the things we do well in naturally or the activities we do every day. Challenge yourself to learn a new skill or to think in a different way, however, and you’ll actually become more intelligent. Choose something you’d like to learn to do, or a subject you don’t do well in and focus on it. At first, you may be uncomfortable and feel even less intelligent than you did before, but if you study or practise hard, you’ll become more confident, and you’ll make new connections in your mind.

Having searched for many years, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, where he would find a well. “Ask the well what is    , ” he was advised, “and the well will reveal (揭露) it to you.” After finding the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important   . And from the depths came the answer: “Go to the village crossroads, and there you shall find what you are seeking.”

With his heart full of   , the man ran to the crossroads only to    three rather uninteresting shops. One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold   , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to    much to do with the revelation of truth.

Depressed and   , the seeker returned to the well to demand an    , but he was told only: “You will discover in the future.” With years     by, the memory of his experience at the well gradually    until one night. While he was walking, the sound of sitar (西塔琴) music   his attention. It was wonderful and it was played with great skill and   .

   and moved deeply, the truth seeker felt drawn towards the   . He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings. And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful   : the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like    he had once seen in the three stores.

Eventually he understood the   of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our    is to gather and use them in the proper way. Nothing is   so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片). But as soon as the pieces are put together, something new appears, whose nature we could not have     by considering the fragments alone.
