(EXCERPT)
The human mind is a complex organ of such beauty and intricacy that it can actually be likened to the simplicity of a sponge which absorbs every bit of liquid (or information, in this case) that it comes into contact with. Due to the technology of our time, however, we have discovered that the emotional aspect of humans is of equal importance, being as mutually exclusive as two can get, and with that type of dependency it is vital that we, as human beings, determine what we have control over and what we do not. We do have control over our minds. We have a clear understanding that, while we are essentially the same, each and every one of us is very unique. The intelligence of each one of us as individuals is by no means limited. We can increase the level of our own intelligence as long as we have the fundamentals given to us through formal education, including writing, mathematics, and reading. But regardless of how necessary and beneficially these basic skills really are, reality dictates that “book smarts” by no means guarantees anyone the ability to be flexible in the rapidly altering society in which we live and work today. A quality education learned well is an asset of value that cannot be denied, and everyone has the built-in ability to learn and achieve whatever level of success they desire. The key lies in realizing the fact that the level of success you achieve does not depend on your education; it depends solely on you and you alone. Your brain and intelligence level are but tools to assist you in achieving your dreams.
