I was making a joke when I said that you and Reactionary were simple minded. J-O-K-E, something said or done to provoke amusement or laughter.

Re: Hard work
Byblos, according to some tests Hana has taken, she's not quite at the genius level. It seems she's merely "gifted".(one small step below genius).Byblos wrote:You know what the true mark of a genius is? Not knowing you are one (Hana)
Here's my favorite "hard work" quote:
"Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off NOW!"
I'm not sure who said it, but that's how I live my life...one nap at a time.
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”

Re: Hard work
Hard work is crucial BUT it is incorrect to give the impression that "all it takes is hard work", ask any guy that puts in full days of training for years, sacrifices everything and never makes it to the "bigs" or the guy that works his ass off at work, only to see his promotion given to someone the boss "likes better".
I could go on, but the point is that we have to be true to the reality that we live in.
Hard work is only part of the equation ( a very important part) and we must realize that we may never see the eternal results for our hard work, BUT we can KNOW the internal satisfaction of KNOWING we put in that hard work.

Yes, I took IQ tests and am slightly above average.
I still am now the same weight now.

Re: Hard work
Hana, I believe if you took an iq test that wasn't biased towards English speaking people, you'd see your iq isn't slightly above average. Your iq would more likely be in the gifted/genius range. That iq test that you had an average score on, had questions dealing with grammar, word meanings, and word comparisons in ENGLISH. If that test were in your first language, Slobovian, you would have scored much higher.1over137 wrote:I haven't noticed you calling me simple minded.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:I was making a joke when I said that you and Reactionary were simple minded.

Re: Hard work
Who knows, how is it with my IQ.
By the way, when I was at high school (gymnasium) there was one boy who was more intelligent - quicker in understanding. But he was lazy and I was dilligent. My math teacher predicted that at the end of the high school I will overtake him. And so it really happened. By the way, from my class room I am the one who reached the highest.
(And at the university I was the only one from my school year with red diploma in physics.)

Re: Hard work
Hana, receiving that diploma in physics, involved a lot of hard work on your part, I'm sure. But we are talking about physics here, not adding fractions. I could study physics for 18 hours a day, for years, and I bet I still wouldn't understand half of what you understand about it. You were born with a gift of high intelligence, and you are a hard worker. Those two things usually help lead you to be successful in whatever you choose to do.

Have you tried reading the Feynman lectures in physics? Feynman is an excellent explainer. And also very funny.RickD wrote:I could study physics for 18 hours a day, for years, and I bet I still wouldn't understand half of what you understand about it.
