“Intelligence is an interesting word. It is also something which, in my opinion, is misunderstood by many people. There are those who believe that we go to school to become intelligent. Or, the more experience a person has on a particular job, the more intelligent they become. This notion is not so. All knowledge is one hundred percent evenly present in all places, at all times. Aware is what you and I want to become. The more aware we become of this truth about intelligence, the better off we will be.” PeopleWantBelievePersonsSchoolJobsInterestingOpinionParticularPercentHundredIntelligentNotionAll TimeBetter OffMisunderstood Author:Bob Proctor
