No Individual Can Be In Full Control Of His Fate-our Strengths Come Significantly From Our History, Our Experiences Largely From The Vagaries Of Chance. But By Seizing The Opportunity To Leverage And Frame These Experiences, We Gain Agency Over Them. And This Heightened Agency, In Turn, Places Us In A Stronger Position To Deal With Future Experiences, Even As It May Alter Our Own Sense Of Strengths And Possibilities.

An Intelligence Is The Biological And Psychological Potential To Analyze Information In Specific Ways, In Order To Solve Problems Or To Create Products That Are Valued In A Culture.

When Speaking To Parents, I Encourage Them To Take Their Child(ren) To A Children's Museum And Watch Carefully What The Child Does, How She/she Does It, What He/she Returns To, Where There Is Definite Growth.
