Dmitry Likhachov: the Person must be intelligent!

— Many people think an intelligent person is the one who read a lot, got a good education (and even predominantly humanitarian), well-traveled, knows several languages.

Meanwhile, you can have all that and be unintelligent, and this does not have to a large extent, and to be still internally an intelligent person.





Intelligence is not only knowledge, but ability to understand the other. It manifests itself in a thousand and a thousand little things:

• the ability to respectfully argue
• behave modestly at the table,
• the ability to discreetly (just quietly) to help another
• take care of nature
• enjoy yourself — do not litter cigarette butts or swearing, bad ideas (it's also trash, and another one!).

 

I knew in the Russian North the peasants, who were really intelligent. They comply with remarkable cleanliness in their homes, knew how to appreciate good songs, they could tell "byvalschiny" (that is what happened to them or others), lived an ordered life, were welcoming and friendly, and was sympathetic to the misfortunes of others, and to someone else's joy.

Intelligence is the capacity for understanding, perception, is a tolerant attitude to the world and to people.published
