As I question my own intelligence full of doubt and incompetence. I look up, still hopeful for a half-full glass. I’m in awe that I question my ‘lack of-' with my own intelligence. It’s a paradox and as cunning as a fox it escapes my understanding.
So how do I reach the ultimate intelligent state without my intelligent mind underestimating itself? Well I reckon I should stop thinking? But that will definitely contradict my aim. I would be unintelligent by default because an intelligent mind must think. What if, after the first thought, I stop myself from thinking further?
Hmm... but a wise mind once said; Think twice. But, isn't this the epitome of my dilemma. My second thought never fails to underestimate & oppress the former. I’m not wise enough to apply this great wisdom? For think twice before action and speech should sometimes have the former and latter thought coinciding with each other thus, I can move forward.
But here I am. Stuck in conflicting thoughts.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

Intelligence comes from the Source. The Source or Knowledge of Universe. If you can access it, you will become very intelligent.
