LiberTodd, University would be my pick. Mimpy, What do you mean? Don't you? JMeganSnow, I think I see what you mean. For instance, a kid can be seen as smart, but they aren't very knowledgeable. In another sense, a savant may seem to be extremely knowledgeable, but they aren't very smart. I want to be both. I want to become like another Leonardo Da Vinci.

A lot of people think that you are the way you are meant to be and there's no way to improve unless it's in your biological make-up. Now, as far as that goes: I do agree... to an extent. Many people believe that your current intelligence (or IQ) is fixed and there's not much one can do to change it. I like to look at the brain as an organ that can be improved in the same way that one's muscles can be trained, becoming stronger and bigger. Everyone is born with a fluid musculature, which changes in response to your environment. Some of us are "naturally" larger and stronger then others. But this certainly does not determine who has more potential. The one who is naturally weaker, may become stronger then the one who is naturally stronger. This can be achieved through exercise. We each have potential, some more so then others, but who knows which one? We each have our limits, but whatever those limits are is a mystery. There are various cases in history where a very bright successful student failed, where a previously not so bright person succeeded. Nothing is certain. With that said, my goal is to become as smart as I can possibly become... I'm 19yrs old and I don't like where my life is headed. I'm willing to change it and I'll do anything and everything to make it happen. I have recently quit drinking alc. and smoking cigarettes. I plan to eat as healthy as possible and exercise - both physically and mentally. I know a lot of what I need to do, but I need more information about anything and everything that can help me achieve my goal. So, does anyone have any advice, sites, books to read, things to do and so on and so forth... Please, your thoughts? Thank you:)
