How To Be Intilligent

Improve your memory. Much of what is generally considered intelligence is simply the ability to remember things well. You can improve your ability to retain and recall memories in a variety of ways, including by using mnemonics and by paying more attention to details. Study more effectively. If you find yourself at a loss when your teacher puts you on the spot, or if you perform poorly on exams, you may not be studying enough. Even if you study a lot, improving your study skills can make a big difference. A variety of wikiHows offer tips to help you. Read a lot. Just about everything that humans know can be found in print, whether in books and magazines or on the internet. Become a voracious reader, and you’ll expose yourself to more ideas and information. If you’re a slow reader, consider learning speed reading. Consider jotting down notes, and perhaps looking up a word or two in the dictionary. Visit the library frequently and pick up anything which looks interesting to you. The subject matter is not quite as important as is the act of reading. Always have at hand something good to read. Be more curious. How do some people get to know so much? Good memory skills are only part of the answer: you also have to be curious. If you’re satisfied going through life with little or no understanding of things you’re unfamiliar with, you won’t learn much. Make a conscious effort to be more curious by reminding yourself that developing your curiosity will broaden your horizons and help to make you more intelligent. Research. Curiosity without initiative is like having a car that’s out of gas — it won’t take you anywhere. Fortunately, when it comes to knowledge you’re never far from a gas station. If you read a word that you don’t know, look it up in the dictionary. If you wonder how airplanes fly, read a book. If you want to know more about politics, pick up a newspaper. With internet access now widespread, there’s less excuse for not finding something out that you want to know. Learn how to look things up. If you know how to use references, from an internet search engine to an encyclopedia, you’ll be able to find the information you want more quickly and effectively. Effective researching skills will nourish your curiosity because you’ll become more confident in your ability to access knowledge. If your research skills leave something to be desired, take a class or workshop on how to research, ask a librarian or teacher, or simply practice researching. Or just press the "help" tabs on the internet and computer programs and read. Figure things out on your own. There’s a lot more to intelligence than “book smarts.” We can all learn to perform everyday tasks at work, home, and school better and more intelligently. If you don’t know how to do something, resist the urge to ask somebody else to do it for you or show you how. In most cases, you’ll be able to figure it out on your own, either by trial-and-error or by researching. While it usually takes longer to figure something out than it does to ask about it, you’ll learn more about the overall process, and you’ll remember it better. Most importantly, you’ll exercise your problem-solving skills instead of your “do as you’re told” skills. Ask for help. It’s great to figure things out on your own, but sometimes you don’t have enough time to do so, despite your best efforts. Don’t give up; ask somebody to show you how. Make sure to pay close attention and ask any questions that you have, so that you’ll never have to ask the same thing again. Exercise your mind in different ways. Most of us are good at the things we excel in naturally or the activities we do everyday. Challenge yourself to learn a new skill or to think in a different way, however, and you’ll actually become more intelligent. Choose something you’d like to learn to do (play the accordion, for example) or a subject you don’t do well in (maybe math) and focus on that thing. Initially, you may be uncomfortable and feel even less intelligent than you did before, but if you study or practice diligently, you’ll become more confident, and you’ll make new connections in your mind. Teach others. In order to teach something to somebody else, you’ve got to know it pretty well. When you try to explain an idea or skill to somebody else, you’ll not only remember it better yourself, you’ll also find that the other person’s questions will help you find out how well you really know what you’re talking about. Learn a new word each day. Go through the dictionary and find a word that you don't know already, then practice using it throughout the day. Do your homework if you're in school! Don't procrastinate, finish it last minute, or copy someone's paper. The homework is there for practice, and when you do it, you'll become more confident in that subject. But remember, homework time is not the same as study time, so you can't count homework as studying.

How To Be Intilligent 2

Look up a few current events every day. All you have to do is after checking your e-mails and such, go to a news website such as CNN and read a little bit of whats going on that interests you. After knowing what's going on in the world, tell a friend about something interesting you heard and include some facts in it as well. Before going to bed, read one page of something you find interesting in an encyclopedia. For example, if you like video games, find out a little bit more about how they are made and who the people are that make them. Say you are sitting down on a relaxing Sunday morning while your dad is making pancakes, you might skim through the newspaper and see what's going on... Play logic puzzles such as Sudoku or crosswords. I know if you're not a fan of these it can be hard, but 1 Sudoku puzzle a day would be perfect. Any time you have a question about something, research it. Many times things that you want to know, others want to know as well. So be the one to do the research, and you will be considered intelligent. Tips Don't try too hard, start with learning the background of what interests you. Increase your vocabulary! Although this might sound like a hassle, 2 new words a day will surprisingly help you a lot! If you have a Nintendo DS, buy an educational game such as Brain Age or Big Brain Academy to keep your mind working. Warnings Remember, do not turn away from intellectual interests in order to be more popular. Intelligence is much important than popularity, especially in the long run.

How to Be Popular in School

Consider that you may already be popular. Nobody--not even very popular people, like movie stars--is popular with everybody! Everybody has their favorites. Just because somebody doesn't like you, it doesn't mean you have to like them at all. Plan (maybe) to be popular--here's how to do it. Look around at everybody in your life and you may find you are already popular. Are you popular in your art class but not in phys ed? Are you popular with grown ups? If you find you are already popular with people who like you and people you like, perhaps you don't have to worry about being popular so much. Join a team. That's where you meet so many different people, and they'll probably like you a lot more. You would get to build basic teamwork with others, which will make them a lot more comfortable around you. Just try and be a good friend (even if certain people are "impossible"). Be happy. If you are unhappy with your appearance, it is always possible to change small things to make yourself feel better without investing a lot of money. Get a haircut if you hate your hair. Make changes carefully and make sure they are for you, not for other people. Don't take the advice of television on how to be popular, rather look and listen in real life! Try to exchange emails or cellphone numbers. This way, you can talk online making it easier to establish friendships. Be friendly. Many people are afraid of the same things you are, even the most confident people are afraid of some things inside, although they will never let it out. Being friendly to everybody shows that you are happy with yourself, and being happy with yourself is the fastest way to become popular. Tell people what you like about them. Everyone likes to be around someone who makes them feel good. If you're shy, just start a conversation by saying, "Oh, hey Megan, I like your bracelet!" Once you get going, say something about yourself to show that you can poke fun at yourself like, "I don't know how you could walk up in front of the whole assembly like that. I can hardly walk upstairs without falling back down!" Smile politely, and listen to what others have to say. Don't judge. Although it seems like the most popular people judge others all the time, popularity starts with acceptance and being interested in other people, not just in how they dress or who they hang out with. Don't be afraid to hang out with nerds, or anyone 'lower' than you. People will respect you and know you're a nice person. Get a hobby if you do not already have one. People who do things instead of worrying about popularity all the time are more interesting, and you will find people coming to you if you have a hobby to talk about. Do your best in school. Just answer questions if you know them, and don't if you don't know them! Don't be a know-it-all. Have your homework done every day. Don't be the one who has to just sit there looking like a fool or who holds up class with lame explanations. Be nice. No one wants to be friends with someone who is mean or ugly on the inside. Do something nobody else would ever think of doing. If your school has a talent show then do something so out of the ordinary that your peers will admire you for having the guts to do that on stage. Just remember that being different doesn't mean being inappropriate. You don't want to make a fool out of yourself and lose the respect of others. Remember, the easiest way to be popular is to stop caring. If you stop worrying about whether or not your popular, you will look way more laid back and cool. Don't be a meanie. That can really ruin your reputation if you let this go to your head. A lot a people will like you if you are nice. Being nice can get you to be popular too. Just help people out, and they will start liking you. Worshiping the popular people will take you no where in life. Don't wait on them hands and feet all the time. Give them some slack. Get to know people. You may like the same stuff they do. Don't be a snob because those people are not popular, they are bullies. Try to be nice to everyone. Wear some makeup but don't wear too much! No boy wants to see a girl with too much makeup on! Also, wear some earrings or bracelets. It is not necessary to wear the real ones. You can wear some fake ones but make sure they don't look too fake and nasty. No one wants to be seen much with them, so don't overdo it.
