A joke to fight back

Recently, a news that "Iranian girl's IQ exceeds Einstein's" has become a hot spot on the Internet. According to reports:

There is a girl named Tara who is 1 1 years old in Iran. She is a high school student. Not long ago, she took an intelligence test organized by Mensa, a high IQ club, and even got a high score of 162.

It doesn't sound special, but if I told you that this score was a few points higher than Einstein's, would you admire her instantly?

The IQ difference between people is only about 3%

Seeing this news, I immediately thought of my son who just turned two. As an ordinary parent, I certainly hope to have a child prodigy at home. However, how many children have this innate advantage?

According to research, the IQ difference between people is only about 3%. People with such a high IQ as Tara must be different, very few. Most people have similar innate IQ.

But why are all human beings with ordinary IQ? Some people can become very successful scientists, mathematicians and artists, but most people can only live a life of running for a living?

The human brain and limbs are the same. If you use it too much, you will be smart; if you don't use it, it will be useless.

I have a neighbor's child. When he was a child, he was very clever and had a good memory. When he was two or three years old, he could basically repeat the poem word for word as long as his parents read it to him twice. His mother is very proud. She thinks her child is a child prodigy. She asks him to recite poems for everyone.

Children feel smart from their parents' behavior, which will be praised. He has tasted the vanity brought by cleverness. When he was in primary school, as long as he had a good memory, his grades were basically good, especially in Chinese, and he could get a good grade in class.

However, after junior high school, the courses become more and more difficult, especially mathematics and physics, which require logical thinking ability and need to constantly do and brush questions.

However, because the child thinks he is smart and doesn't need to work too hard, the foundation of grade one and grade two in primary school is not solid, and now grade three can't keep up with classes. In the end, the results of the senior high school entrance examination even failed to enter the key middle school.

It can be seen that although this child has a good talent, his fate will naturally be the same as that of ancient Zhong Yong because he didn't study hard, didn't pay enough attention to learning and put intelligence first.

Talent is very important, but most people don't work hard enough to get it, even "diligent".

In addition to innate factors, IQ is actually that the human brain can build nerves faster. The more you use your brain and the longer you tolerate it, the smarter you will become.

Everyone should have heard the story of Zeng Guofan and the thief. Although the young Zeng Guofan is diligent, he has a poor memory, which may be worse than ordinary people.

One night, a thief sneaked into his study, trying to steal something, but just then, Zeng Guofan came in, and the thief had to hide quickly, thinking that he would slip away after Zeng Guofan left.

After entering the room, Zeng Guofan began to recite ancient prose, and the thief waited patiently for him to leave. Unexpectedly, in a few hours, it will be dawn soon. He has been reciting an article and hasn't finished it yet.

The thief is the last straw. Zeng Guofan skillfully recited the whole article when he got stuck again. This incident later became a joke of Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan's talent is not as good as a thief, but so what? But in the end, Zeng Guofan became a famous minister, and the thief was still a thief who mixed food and drink.

Scientists have come to the conclusion through experiments that by repeatedly stimulating the brain, people's brain circuits will change, that is, they will become smarter and smarter. So talent is not a fixed number, it will change with individual efforts.

Because learning ability is also an IQ.

Talent and IQ can be transformed into each other.

I'm still used to using the four-quadrant method to illustrate the problem. We regard IQ and diligence as the two axes of the four quadrants. The horizontal axis is diligence, and the vertical axis is talent. We divide human development into four quadrants. See the figure below:

The first kind, learn to bully. You are not only gifted, with a good memory and a high IQ, but also diligent. If you study hard every day, you will become an invincible scholar and get good grades in a certain field in the future.

Second, learn from God. Your talent is very high, but you just work as hard as ordinary people. You can do your lessons well by your own cleverness, which makes people envy and hate, but if you don't take it to heart at all and don't study at all, what will happen in the future is hard to say.

The third type is weak correction. You are a very hard-working person. You know stupid birds fly first, so you work hard. However, because of your poor talent and memory, you forget when you recite it, and you have suffered a lot in your studies, but your grades are just so-so. You can only become excellent if you work several times harder than others. But in any case, you are commendable and promising.

The fourth type, scum type. This is the most hateful situation. You know you are stupid, but you don't like studying. You have completely given up on yourself. Then the rest of your life will have to be miserable.

From this perspective, we can only change our attitude if our talents remain unchanged. The harder you work, the luckier you will be, and your future will certainly thank you for your efforts.

Finally, talk about children's education. Don't praise the child's cleverness, but praise his efforts, so as to cultivate his growth thinking. Let him understand that hard work can change himself and give them endogenous motivation to become better.

We can't decide our IQ, but we can change our destiny through hard work.
