We live in a world that seems to worship its own kind if greatness. Greatness cannot be achieved so easily. Greatness is not made to measure order. To achieve greatness, a lot of perspiration and hard work is needed. We all have a genius inside of us and we need to use it to become great.
Helmholtz is extremely intelligent and understands things that many people in his world do not. He is angry that he cannot escape his caste and he wants to be greater than he already is. The world shown in the novel is set up in such a way that no one can be greater or more powerful than others. The utopian society shown in the novel Brave New World presents a world that is supposed to be perfect in which everyone is happy. This may be true in some cases, but as shown by evidence in the analysis of three different characters, we can state that the perfect world is in actuality not a prefect world.
Jordan Brooks Mr. Autry English II January 29, 2011 Supreme Individualist Henry David Thoreau declares himself a supreme individualist. He is the greatest of his time in that regard. B.F. Skinner, a psychologist, agrees with Thoreau about the necessity to be an individual, but he claims community is ultimately more important. Being an individual can be rather contradictory, meaning it is both harmless and harmful at the same time. Today many individualists use Thoreau's ideas and have perfected them.
The Power of Language Like Phillip K. Dick once quoted, “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.” Still, many do not know that the greatest power of humans lies in our own mind. They tend to think that physical force is the greatest power any humans can have. Well, that is wrong. Manipulation with the usage of words is definitely more successful than the manipulation with physical force.
Intelligence versus Wisdom Intelligence and wisdom -- these treasures of the heart and brain -- these are the true Sacred Scriptures of the human race. All the wise are intelligent, but all the intelligent are not wise. The difference between wisdom and intelligence is that you cannot be wise unless you have sensitivity for the human condition. Both wisdom and intellect are forms of knowledge. Both can serve several more people than the number of people who possess them.
In today’s society, people are obsessed with the notion of success and how to achieve it. Many people wonder if there really is a secret to success. According to Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.” Throughout the book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell proves Colin Powell’s quote to be true. There are no secrets one can use to become successful.
Anthony Tedesco Mr. Sorgini ENG 4U1 3 December 2013 The Motif of Sight and Blindness The amount of determination and ambition that a human is able to posses is one of the strongest forces known to man. However, humans often fail to realize that the determination and ambition of ones self could lead to their blindness of reality. The fact that they will go to great lengths to get what they want makes them susceptible to become blind, making them oblivious in their judgments and actions. Such ambition and determination could extract the morals of one in terms of achieving a long awaited goal or dream. Something such as the American dream has that tendency to extract those morals from humans, whether they are living the dream or are still aspiring to attain it, humans prove themselves unable to move beyond the past and end up in the loop of the corrupt American dream.
Anyone is capable of becoming a hero, and most don't seek to become one but rather stumble upon the opportunity. Every person, hero or not, is faced with choices and making the right decision is not always simple. Aristotle's ideal protagonist is "a man who is highly renowned and prosperous, but one who is not pre-eminetly virtuous and just. Who's mistfortune is brought upon him not by vice or depravity but by some error in judgement or fraility." Everyone makes mistakes, but those mistakes are ultimately how lessons are learned.
A persons IQ and their emotional intelligence are not opposite abilities, but they are separate ones. We all mix our intelligence and our emotions in everyday doings. With that being said there are individuals that have a high IQ but they have a very low emotional intelligence, these individuals are very rare individuals, because usually with a high IQ comes a persons ability to recognize their own or others emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is important because interacting with people every day is inevitable, and with that comes emotional experiences with those people that individuals must learn to adapt to. Managers must supervise their employees, and they must also handle situations and help motivate their employees to make them more productive individuals.
However, when properly used, the Triple Package leads to success and can be efficiently self-taught. One of the traits of the Triple Package includes a superiority complex. As Chua mentioned, sometimes group superiority can result in disastrous effects. However, many people have superiority instilled in the form of personal superiority. This personal superiority gives us a drive to be better than others and encourages us to strive for success.
