Rethinking Intelligence: A New Perspective
Intelligence is not a fixed trait determined by genetics, upbringing, or test scores. Rather, intelligence is an ongoing journey of learning and being aware of opportunities to learn. Our brains are always growing and developing, and we can optimize this process by shifting our mindset from intelligence as an object to intelligence as a journey. By understanding that intelligence is something we do, not something we have, we can become more effective thinkers and learners.
