Sometimes, The ROUND-Peg, DOES, Fit In The SQUARE-Box!

     How well do you adapt to change? When life's journey, has you traveling down a 'bumpy-path', do you manage the changes, or...do they 'manage' you? Being able to adapt and adjust to change, significant or small, is a testament to a person, and, his or her, strength of character; along, with, his or her desire for happiness, his/her fortitude, and, his/her level of intelligence. Folks who, know how to 'fight-back', when, life throws, those, 'punches', figure out ways to 'roll with those', and, stay afloat, when, it's 'sink or swim', time. Intellect, does, indeed, play a, significant-role, in this, ability, to 'survive and thrive'; for, intelligence, by definition, is one's capacity for logic, abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, learning, emotional knowledge, memory, planning, and problem solving, all, things, necessary, to assist one in keeping life's 'miseries', from making him or her maladjusted, and, incapable of moving-forward, when life 'kick's one in the arse'. I have known some, highly-educated, souls, who, for all their academia, struggle, with life-challenges; and, others, with, lesser, 'school-lessons', under their belts, who, are, much, more, capable, and, skillful, when it comes to surviving struggle. There, exist, tests, designed to 'measure' the IQ, or, 'Intelligence Quotient', of a human-being, and, as, such, these, are, fairly, 'standardized. I use my own, simple, method, by which I, determine the 'intellect' of a person; this, being, the individual's ability to master the difficulties, that, life presents to him or her, and, do, such, without becoming bitter, cruel, or, mean-spirited, based on the, occasional, 'unfair'-nature, of life. Naturally, we are responsible, for how we choose to 'deal-with' the difficulties, which, determinedly, can either, 'make or break' us, and, our, Spirit', if and when we give them the 'power' to do so. The true, test, of one's 'IQ', is in trusting, enough, in him or herself, and, 'knowing' how to 'pull- through'! At least, this is how I see it. Just Sayin'...
