Importance of Intelligence

Out of all the attributes that you might possess, intelligence, in my opinion, is the most valuable. Intelligence isn't just school smarts, it is the ability soundly reason and to understand complex concepts. If you have this, you will have a world of possibilities opened to you. Completing school and doing well should be relatively easy for you, and this will open you up to a range of scholarships. You can then go to college, and study anything you want and then get a good job and earn a comfortable living. Being athletic can get you some good sports scholarships, but being athletic won't get you much closer to getting the college degree that will help you get a good job and earn a comfortable living. So, even though you may not admire that somewhat nerdy kid in your biology class, think twice about who will be going farther in life when you look up to the jock in your class. That is why intelligence is the most important gift you can have.
