Well, one of the intelligent person I know is my friend. He is close to me. Actually, we have been studying with each other at an English course for nearly two years. And at first time, it was clear that he is not just books more, but also an insightful person and emotionally intelligence. He is a deep passion for psychology and neuroscience. And whenever I see him, he is reading research articles or watching documentaries to expand his knowledge. And what amazes me most is how he is able to break down the complex ideas and explain them in simple terms. I think he has a connect for making the abstract tangible, which is something even experienced professionals struggle with. And I admire his creativity. Because whenever we do group tasks or speak tasks, he often comes up with outside the box solutions, which is truly amazing. And another reason why I truly think he is intelligent is the fact that he is curious. When we speak about something, he often asks whole and why. And it means he is hungry for knowledge which sets him apart. Beside from it, he is a great listener which prompts him as a truly emotionally aware. It’s a treat that many people overlook when they define intelligence. I am sure he can serve as a catalyst for me to change my life positively because he is a source of information, motivation and inspiration.
