06 Jun Why Understanding beats IQ

Intelligence is a quality present from birth, but to use the intelligence, thinking is the quality that develops and the one who is able to think is the one who achieves success.

Our story starts in the middle of 19^th CENTURY when a young school boy was growing up who’s nickname was Apple. How he hated school! Regarded it as the deadliest torture in life. Getting up late was his daily habit, and his report cards, they were no better.  Apple used to hardly get passing marks and on in English, he used to sleep in class. This boy used to regularly miss the bus and so was sent to boarding school. In his teacher’s words she had never met a boy, who so persistently wrote the exact opposite of what he meant. But one would have to admit, his imagination used to run wild, and of his thoughts, however much I praise them, it’s less, his ideas, they were beyond imagination. Apple grew up to be a photographer, worked in an African oil company, at the Saturday Evening Post and then fought the World War-II in the Air Force. Apple took time realising his potential, his strengths, his positives but finally he did and today, this Apple, whose story you heard is known worldwide, as the greatest author of children literature, as Roald Dahl.
