   "Primitive Intelligence" -   
   "Genuine stupidity" -   
   Maybe this combination of intelligence and   
   stupidity is something very human which   
   arises from the constant collision of emotion   
   and reason, and from the interplay between   
   personal beliefs and knowledge.   
      
   If you believe you are intelligent,   
   you don't try to learn anything new,   
   and become more and more stupid.   
   If you believe you are stupid,   
   you maybe try to learn more,   
   and become more intelligent, again.   
      
   Paradoxically, sometimes is pays off to   
   be stupid. If you are so stupid and   
   stubborn to do something consequently   
   over and over again, you may become an   
   expert, and if you are lucky you have   
   choosen a place or field where you can be   
   successful.   
      
   For example, playing tennis 8 hours every   
   day is stupid. You are doing the same thing   
   over and over again. But if you are lucky,   
   you become a champion and are more   
   successful than all other people of   
   your age - intelligent people, who try to   
   be successful as well.
