It is commonly believed that a smart person is someone who does well in school. But is that really the case? Intelligence is not just about excellent grades, encyclopedic knowledge, and a good memory. It manifests itself in many ways – in creativity, music, sports, emotions, the ability to see the beauty of nature, and to find common ground with others.
