A Quote

I sometimes get really annoyed with people that think their idiots because they can't do something someone else can, or because they don't know the answer hen someone else does. To these people I respond with a quote I made, and I think that it wouldn't hurt to try and listen to my ramblings.

Nobody knows everything, but everybody knows something.

If you think you are an idiot, or that your life is a failure because you can't learn everything, or that you can't beat someone else at something, then you have proven that you in fact are not an idiot. It's the thought that counts, right? So if you think you're an idiot, then that is a stupid thought. Stupid thoughts don't make you stupid. Nobody is stupid. Ever. Not even the mentally retarded people. They just think differently. If everyone thought exactly the same way, then yes, there would be idiots, and stupid people. But no one thinks exactly the same. Therefore, there is no such thing as stupidity. The only thing that I can think of that exists and is the closest to stupidity, is arrogance. If you believe that someone is below you, even if you proved it, does not mean that you are indeed better. You outdid them. that's it. The human condition is that we learn from our mistakes, and take that into account every time we are faced with the same situation. The very fact that humans can learn, means that idiocy is not possible. Every person on the planet is driven to make themselves better. The only difference between the people that think they're idiots or stupid, and everyone else, is their goals. If you have no goals, then you have no hopes, no dreams, you have already given in to your belief that there is nothing you can do about your situation. That's wrong. There is always something that you can do to help someone. If you stop believing you are an idiot, then the hard part is over. the easy part is setting a goal that you can achieve. Not too easy, but one that you can still achieve. Then, next time, raise the bar a little higher, and higher. In the words of St Francis of Assisi; Start by doing what is necessary. Then do what is possible. Suddenly you are doing the impossible.

I can go on, but I choose not too. If you think you're an idiot, and you are reading this, then you have already completed your first goal. reading my ramble. Now go set higher goals for yourself. Ace the next test, or get your homework done for a week. Just remember, sometimes it's a good thing not to see the big picture, because the big picture can be daunting. Always do all of your homework, sounds a little much, but if you think of it more as just doing your homework once a day, it gets much smaller.

If this has helped anyone, then I have completed my goal as well.
