Am I Smart?
I've met famous scholars who were in many ways profoundly stupid, and a lot of Special Olympians who are deeply intelligent. It boils down to this: You have within yourself a deep central point I call your sense of truth. It knows the difference between clever nonsense and simple profundity, and resonates with all that feels real and right. Lose your sense of truth, and you'll be stupid no matter how smart you are. But tune into that sense, and your intelligence will be infinite.
