There is only one difference between an animal and a man, a man has a mind and an intellect, whereas an animal does not have an intellect. If your intellect is also weak, then you are also like an animal. This may sound a bit bitter, but it is the truth.
Today We will tell you how you can increase your intelligence. And you can become a hero from zero.
Before increasing intelligence you should know that how does intelligence work?
You must be aware that the mind is always thinking something or the other. And when you think of something, the image of that thing is formed.
So when you think of the same thing more than once, the intellect stores it inside itself. And then reminds you when needed.
What is the function of the intellect?
The function of the intellect is to make decisions. For Example: The doctor tells the patient that the patient should not eat sour or else he/she will get sick. But when the patient goes home and sees pani-puri, then his mouth gets watery, then he develops a strong will to eat the pani-puri.
So here is where the intellect work begins from. What decision will he/she take? Will he listen to the doctor or will he listen to his heart's desire?
So here is that whose intellect is strong and is sharp, then he will not eat pani-puri and will save himself/herself from getting sick, while the person whose intellect is weak will not be able to control himself and will eat the pani puri instead.
So the intellect decides that what should be right to be done and what is not right to be done.
Thus the one who has good brain will always take a good decision in his entire life and will achieve success and whose intellect is weak he will not be able to take the right decision in right time and will not be able to become successful.
