Some one once told me, that if I had half a brain I would be dangerous, I could not agree with them more. You need your whole brain to be intelligent and you must exercise it and use it for it to work properly. A bit of metal sitting on the ground outside will soon go rusty unless you pick it up and find a use for it, even if that means going to the recyclers with it. It can be melted down and made into something new and worthwhile. Intelligence is not just a gift of mental aptitude but a way that you have used your gift of a brain in your head to work out things and to make useful tools or things that can build, produce and manufacture. Like cleaning up after yourself, doing the dishes, writing a book and getting published, you have done something of worth, in some ways you have created an existence that was past what you had before you started.

Achieving is a result of you using your brain, for disicplined exercise, achievement or just putting a few things together in place where they can be found. Making things easier to see, visually assisted or applied, even if it is only pointing out the error of the ways or providing a better way to do things or see the obvious that was inobtrusive before or blatently impossible to understand. The mind thinks, the brain acts to co-ordinate and the arms and legs do to get the body to where you want it to be, however and whenever you have to move, read or write. Intelligence helps and so it is also true that unless we show that we have an ability to think clearly in a clever and undertstanding way, we fail to demonstarte out aptitude of our intelligence.

Thinking to yourself just how intelligent you are is stupid, you have to demonstrate it by your example and ability to answer questions, diagnosis of arguements and generally show that you know what you are talking about. Writing, however easy or hard it is, is only seen as intelligent if you can produce a logical arguement and demonstrate that you have some knowledge on the subject. Intelligence must be seen by others, it is no good keeping it all to yourself. If you have a brain use it and if you only have half a brain because you only use it half of the time, then I feel very sorry for you and I hope that you can see the error of your ways.
