live for tomorrow.
i think intelligence is the measure of how far humans can see into the future. intuition, perhaps. but people we consider smart, do smart things. they study more often, they read more often, they get better grades because they know and learn the material better than the average person. people say "oh he got a better grade because he's smarter, it comes easier to them genetically." That is not true, they just bust their asses harder than yours because they have the capability of working for something that does not commit to instant gratification. for example, they don't play a sport primarly to feel the instant gratification of scoring or being better than their competitor due to their competitive nature, they might primarily play it to enjoy the way the exercise makes their bodies look in the end. they realize what lies ahead of them in life and educate themselves adequately to prepare themselves for the future. they understand that being good at who you are or what you do today, isn't neccessarily right for tomorrow. and life is all about improvement, life is all about tomorrow. read as much as you can, use all your resources 100% of the time and do yourself a favor and stay in school.
