“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education.”- Dr. Martin Luther King

Intelligence...the thing that many people strive for because they think that it’s the only thing we’re missing. I thought the same,for a long time but i was half right. You see as a person you're expected to be able to multi task through your whole day without a problem. You are suppose to be able to have more than one talent because that is what’s expected. This quote is just another reminder that if you think you have everything solved you don’t. Yes you might be a very intelligent person but maybe you as a person doesn’t have that character people seek. You can be as successful if you don’t have a balance between your character and your intelligence. Character may be one of the hardest things to master in my perspective because you have to act a certain way and somedays you just may slip. It’s challenging to try and make everything fit...but you can do it. All you have to do is try, try hard. You can never go wrong with trying and little by little you will reach that balance. Once you do you will be able to accomplish anything. We need good character for example to get around, to make new friends, to be able to communicate. We need intelligence for example to be able solve problems, to think outside the box because that’s where most of the brilliant ideas were invented.
