Are you stupid?

The title does not represent the content of this note. I actually want to discuss about the differences between people that 'known' or 'considered' as a smart person and people 'considered' not smart person.

This is always become a question for myself. Is that actually 'smartness' is a gift? or It can be achieved by hard work? May be it is also a mystery for you that has spent many years experienced in the same class with people considered 'genius' or 'moron'.

So, before I explain my own theory, I want to differ person from smartness point.

1. really smart
is a smart person that consider him/herself as smart person and known as a smart person by society. Usually this person has many achievement and won many events or competition. He/she also good at academic skills and always happened to be the top rank in your school/class.

2. happened to be smart
is considered smart by his/her friends but not sure about his/herself. Usually person that has good academic skill but do not have another achievement, or has not won any single competition, and sometimes do not have particular skill.

3. average person
Is person that happily run his/her life without worrying his/her achievement to much. They do not have problem in their academic but also do not have particular achievement.

4. not smart person
Person that considered him/herself as not smart person because couldn't do anything well justified by society.

That's my description and no need to debate it because it is only a not important person's opinion.

So, here is the confuse about the description of smartness. I do always wonder 'what person is actually smart' and 'what make him/her smart?' In my theory, there is no person who are smart or not smart. Everybody has the same brain and it has averagely same potential. Smart and not smart is only a title given by society or surroundings based on some parameter. One of the parameter that is usually used by society is 'an academic record' parameter.

Smart and not smart is only seen by his 'hundred or not hundred mark' record. It is not an absolute parameter. We are often annoyed by this one. Because having good academic record doesn't indicate having appropriate skill. Another parameter is about his/her skill. Person is considered smart because he/she often easily solved the problem using his/her skill. For example, maybe he advanced in programming and he often taught the other else that haven't understand programming.
So, I conclude that smart is about mark and skill.

Okay, now we assume that we accept those parameter. So, the next question is, 'what makes people have an excellent mark in their academic record and another people don't?' and 'what makes people can do something great and another couldn't?
From the academic point, It is determined by the capability to solve the exam. From the skill point, it is determined by the understanding of a thing. And both of them is only matter or understanding and knowing. It is one conclusion that person can be smart or can not because they have or have not understand and known about a matter.

So, there are not exactly exist a smart person and not smart person in the world. There are just exist a person that has understand and person that hasn't understand.
'Just it?'
'No'

I am still not sure because It lead to another question.
'what makes people could understand faster than the others?'
Nah, we almost arrived to theory that smartness is a gift. How people understand and how fast the understanding process is determined by his/her brain capability. So, I can say that it can't be changed, It has been a destiny, this is that makes people different from the start and may be to the end.
'Do you agree?'
'I am not'
Because it just a matter of time, understanding is just about time. No problem if they could understand faster because when we reach in the same understanding, there are no difference. The problem is we have to be able understand in a reasonable time.
So we don't have to worry about this smartness anymore, we just have to study harder, learn harder, to catch up with the genius one. When we arrived at that matter, we will be same.

It is almost the end of my explanation. But my friend ever said that what makes the a person really smart is the concentration capability, how long and how deep he can concentrate. Hmm, personally I agreed with that. If I relate this theory to the previous explanation, higher concentration will affect in faster understanding. Yup, for you that have problem in understanding, just try to concentrate more, I think it will worked.

In the end, we can assume that smartness is not a gift anymore, we can train it. Moreover, those smartness is just judged from society point of view. If we want to be smart, just believe that we are smart. :D

It is 2010

yeah, though i can't keep my promise, i wont make it longer since the last update.
it is 2010. and now it almost the end of January, long enough from the last post.

Why i dont just write? i also think about it.
there so much thing in my mind, and i cant simply write it
so much reasons too, that makes me hard to make a note
maybe I could say "this is my weblog, and i am free to write anything,"
but still, I couldn't find the meaning of all my writing. So, it will be a 'no good for nothing' if i try to do 'whatever-writing'. Therefore i will try to post a useful note this time.

hmm, there is something psychological problem I learn about in this holiday.
I learn that a problem is tend to be relative-subjective, it depend on how you see it, where you see it.
Although, I may have already know that relativity, people may already realize it, but this time, I experienced it more.

so, from that relativity principle, we can't judge something just from our side, we have to see it from their point of view, even though it is tiring, because there is no person in the world could have same absolute understanding. But at least we try, we try to feel it. It is a way we can solve problem less painful, especially for love-problem.

Everyone has known that the most relative problem is problem that related to feeling, heart, love, sad, relationship, and the other lovey-dovey problem.
Especially love. Love is kind of strange toxic that infect us, make us feel wonderful, yet it may cause an indescriptivable pain. But, it is subjective, like i said before. Other can laugh of it, but another may collapse of it. maybe this time they are suffering, but someday they will see it as a trivial case. Such a relative problem, from subject, time, and situation.

In general, we can't understand each other well. it is my principal. when a person said "i understand you" or "i know what you feel", i will say "it's bullsh*t".
You don't know what I feel. you don't know what I think.
So, instead of saying that, better you keep silent, and give your emphatic in another manner.

people who have a problem is looking for person that they can share. they need to be listened, not to be lectured. it is something that sometimes people forget.
so, you need no confuse when found your friend suddenly cries in front of you. You no need think what word you better say. dont confuse of it, just keep calm, look at him/her and say "i hear you".
