THE MEASURE OF

INTELLEGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO CHANGE

The famous quote ‘the measure of intelligence is the ability to


change’ given by a famous scientist Albert Einstein. He was the most
important scientist in 20th century. The life which we are living now
would not be possible without the inventions and discoveries of
Albert Einstein.

What do you mean by intelligence? Is it something that can be


changed? The word “intelligence” is actually derived from a Latin
noun intelligential which means to understand or to become aware
of something. Intelligence is the ability to think, to learn from
experience, to solve problems, and to adapt to new situations.

It is absolutely true that one’s ability to change to a particular


situation determines one’s intelligence level. Change is a great
quality, if you adapt to it you can achieve anything. If you are not
changing, you are not growing. If you are not growing you are not
being intelligent. Humans thrive in change and expansion-but then to
there are so many internal and external blocks that needs to be
changed. Trying to keep things as they are is a very unhealthy
approach to life. Change should not be avoided, but to accept it
willingly. Said Winston Churchill

The ability to recognize the need for change, to adapt and to


overcome it is what forms the base of most of the success stories.
Success comes to those who are willing to undergo change so that
they can have a better future. If you are seeking external success
without changing who you are, then you are mistaken. By its very
definition it says change means modification. If nothing ever changed
then there would be no modification required. You could wear the
same clothes, eat the same food, do the same work and literally keep
the same habits from day of birth till one dies. But such thought is
ridiculous. So we need to modify these types of thought.

One really has to change to be successful. Have u ever seen clouds?


How beautiful they are. Though whatever obstacle comes in their
way it does not affects them but it goes on moving and then to it
rains. Similarly, if a man wishes to be successful, he must adapt to
the challenges he faces in future life.

It’s impossible to escape the change even if it is you greatest desire


to do so. Some examples of change that is certain to happen for
humans. Birth, Death, Sickness, Growth, Joy, Grief, Sorrow. Those
who fail to navigate change it brings him problems and even disaster.
And those who are successful in navigating change had reached that
level of intelligence where no one had reached.

But whether the change is required for one person, one family, one
nation, one business, one community, or one people - the measure
of intelligence is the ability to change. Make no mistake about it,
change is necessary and important in everyone’s life though we
accept about it or not
