The Myth Of Intelligence and The Happiness

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are
in harmony."

Mohandas K. GANDHI

To answer of yourself involves that you put a great deal aside some
diffused myths.

The first one of these myths is the notion that intelligence is
measured by the ability to resolve complex problems, to read, to
write, and to make of account to concerns levels to quickly resolve
abstract equations.

This concept of intelligence recognizes in the formal education and
in the cleverness of the good student the true measures of the
personal realization.

It stimulates a sort of intellectual snobbery that has given
depressing results.

We have reached the point of restrain that who is more distinguished
in the studies, who is a genius in one some discipline scholasticism
(mathematics, sciences), who uses a rich vocabulary, who has memory
for superfluous facts, who is a devourer of books, he/she is also
"intelligent."

But the clinics for mental illnesses regurgitate of patients that
have all these bank drafts in order, as after all also of many
patients that don't have them.

A more sincere barometer of the intelligence is an efficient life,
happy, lived every day and every minute of every day.

If you are happy, if you live every moment for all of this so that
it is worth to live it, you are an intelligent person.

The capability to solve a problem is a useful addition to your
happiness; but if you know that, also being incapable to resolve it,
you can always choose your happiness or, how much less, to refuse to
choose you the unhappiness, you are intelligent then.

You are intelligent because you hold asunder the weapon most
effective against the nerves, or nervous breakdown.

To the intelligent people the nerves don't break because they
respond of themselves.

They choose the happiness instead of depression.

Because they know whether to face the problems of their life.

It notices well that have not said to resolve the problems.

Rather than to measure his/her self-own intelligence from the
ability to resolve a problem they independently measure to them
from their ability to maintain themselves happy and respectable
independently from the solution or not of the problem.

You can start to consider yourself really intelligent on the base of
the state of mind in which you decide to face the difficult
circumstances.

In the life, all we have to fight big way the same battles.

To less than not to live uprooted from any social context, all we meet
difficulty that resembles him.

Disagreements, conflicts, compromises, belong to what ones intends
for belonging to the human kind.

And also the money, the old age, the illness, the death, the natural disasters, misfortunes, are all events that set some problems to practically the whole human being.

Despite such events, however, some succeed in avoiding the demolition and paralysing unhappiness; instead others collapse, they fall in the inactivity or victims of exhaustion.

Those that recognize that the problems belong to the human nature, and that don't measure happiness from the absence of the problems, they are the human beings most intelligent that are known, and they are also rare.
