What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I   21        an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against an average of 100, scored 160.

I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him — and he always   22                it.

Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man designed questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I’d prove myself a   23          . In a world where I have to work with my hands， I’d do poorly.

Consider my auto-repair man again. He had a habit of telling   24          . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb man   25           some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made         26          movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk         27          him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the next man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his   28        and asked for them. I’ve been   29           that on all my customers today, but I knew for sure I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked.  “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn’t be very   30           .”

And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  36 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  37 with me. This has made me  38 very carefully about myself, and now I  39  how silly I have been.
My poor  40 have come from my own  41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  42  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   43  on the subject and I stop  44  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  45 , but I know that I must not  46 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 47  the next few months, I am going to get  48 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  49 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I  50 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   51 _ I will control the time I   52 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  53 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  54 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  55 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

But at home a  73  story is told. Later that day, when I  74  supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very       75    . When I turned back, I  76  knocked her down. “Don’t be in my   37    !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart       78  . On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay  79  in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While  80  with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily  81  .

She stood quietly in order to give you a  83   , and you never saw the       84   in her eyes.”

She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 89  .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”

Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die of love." It's true. You really can't love somebody to death. I've known people to die from no love, but I've never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can't love one another enough.

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, and then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."

Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."

Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and cure her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.
