Intelligence vs Self-Confidence
February 8th, 2008 by technitus
What is more vital? Intelligence or self-confidence?
I think in many cases the latter applies.
I know only a few people who are blessed with both, intelligence AND self-confidence.
Many people manage to enjoy the status of an intelligent person without actually being intelligent.
For people who want to disguise their lack of intelligence (the term ‘lack’ is to be
considered subjective), two things are important: poise and the ability to pretend
to be intelligent. Sometimes it’s enough to acquire a certain amount of rudimentary knowledge to impress others or to reach a privileged goal.
Would you say you are intelligent? How do you justify your answer?

I think that both are very important with a more emphasis on self-confidence. I really think that this should be focused on on all children that are growing up. People would be able to do so much more if we had more self-confidence. I also thin that once that is worked on, then intelligence could also be worked on. Thanks.
