The diversity of intelligence in life and business

Intelligence is mutlifaceted and multi-dimension. It is a combination of ability, learning and understanding encompassing numerical, verbal or technical abilities - and constantly evolving into a complex diversity of knowledge to deal with the variety of the problems we faced today.

A child may have one or several types of intelligence. You can understand your child better by observing and identifying  the kind of intelligence skills that your child has. This will enable you to help your child to learn better and faster in those areas that he is good in and also to encourage him to try other activities outside the scope of his intelligence arena to develop and challenge him -   to face life situations where a combination of his skills will be called into play.

Howard Gardner look at 7 distinct kinds of intelligence:

1. Linguistic
2. Logical mathematical
3. Spatial ( space related)
4. Bodily kinesthetic ( movement related)
5. Interpersonal ( communications),
6 Intrapersonal (emotional feelings, awareness and intentions)
7. Musical

I have done a research in the internet and have found that there are about seven types of intelligence.


Verbal- Linguistic
Speaking, storytelling, writing, listening, using humour, remembering information, using language cleverly

Logical-Mathematical
Problem solving, categorizing classifying, working with geometric shapes

Visual-Spatial

Doing puzzles, reading, writing, drawing, visual arts, having a good sense of direction, designing objects, fixing things

Bodily-Kinaesthetic
Dancing, sports, acting, anything requiring physical coordination, creating with hands

Musical-Rhythmic
Singing, playing musical instruments, composing music

Interpersonal
Able to see other's point of view, listening, able to pick up on cues from others, good at forming good relations with other people, conflict resolution; good leaders

Intrapersonal
Figuring out their own strengths and weaknesses, analyzing, understanding themselves and how they relate to others

Business needs intelligence to thrive in change and chaos such as:

1. market intelligence,
2. technological intelligence,
3. customer intelligence,
4. creative; and
5. practical intelligence.

So understand the different concept of intelligence and keep improving on them

Be intelligent - do the right thing- use your talents wisely.

Friendship is like a ball game

Friendship is like a ball game. You throw the ball by extending your hands and the receiver also extends his hand to accept your ball. You cannot accept with your fists but only with open hands. Just like a little bird, we must open up our hands to let it go free. If we were to squeeze it, the little bird will suffer.

Back to the ball game, if the partners are not focused and be attentive to one another and be sensitive to the ball's intended direction- the ball will fall short hitting the floor or bounce off the chest and there wil be no one to return your throw and the ball.

Please watch the ball and throw it well.

God bless

Teach them to pray


When you find time on your hands, put them together in prayer.

Tomorrow's world will be shaped by what we teach our children today.




JEREMIAH 33:3

3 'Call to me and I will answer you

and tell you great and unsearchable things

you do not know.'

THE  POWER OF PRAYER,
THE PRAYER OF FAITH AND ITS REWARDS


God holds my hand

One of the joys of being with kids is holding their hands. we do it to keep them safe while crossing the streets, or to keep them from getting lost in a crowded mall, and also whenever they stumble, we grab their little hands tighter to keep them from falling.

That is what God does for us.

Many things about tomorrow I dont seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand- Stanphill


Psalms 73:2 My steps had nealy slipped.
