6 Habits That Kill Your Intelligence by Donmichaelz(m): 11:18pm On Sep 25, 2013
Although you may not believe it, there are
certain habits that you have fallen in to, which
are hindering your ability to move forward in
life. Although you think it has no effect on
your life, these bad habits that kill your
intelligence not only set you back, they are
also going to stop you from being able to
accomplish certain things, or attain the goals
that you have set for yourself. These are some
habits that are holding you back, and possibly
causing you to make poor choices or decisions
in your life.


(1.) Create and evaluate -
It is impossible for you to go forward and
backward at the same time; it is also
impossible for you to go up and down
simultaneously, the same goes with your
mind. When you are trying to create
something, and evaluate the success at the
same time, you are never going to get a
project going. You first have to find out what
you want to create, how it is going to work,
and draw out the plans; you will then create a
project or product, and only after it has been
created and implemented, can you begin to
evaluate how it is performing, in any
situation. Give things time, and do not try to
do two complete opposite tasks, at the same
time.

(2). You think you’re are expert -
The expert syndrome is another habit people
have, which kills their intelligence. When you
believe you are an expert at every and
anything, you stop learning. You will never be
humble enough to listen to others, and learn
from their experience. This is in fact going to
set you back, and is going to hinder your
intelligence. Be open to the fact that you do
not know everything, and that anyone can
help you learn something new. Not only will
this allow you to learn new things, it will help
you come off as less of an ignorant person
with others.

(3). Fear -
If you are always afraid you are going to fail,
you are never going to try something new. It
is likely you are going to fail, more than once,
especially if you have never done something
before. But, if you never try, or never attempt
to learn something new because you are afraid
you are going to fail, you are never going to
get better, and are never going to learn new
things. So, you have to eliminate the fear, and
accept the fact that failure comes with
everything new you are going to try.

(4). Lack of confidence -
This goes hand in hand with the fear to fail. If
you always believe you are going to mess up,
and do not have confidence in the things you
do, you can never learn and grow. Having
confidence in yourself, even if you are doing
something wrong, allows you to learn, and
grow, and it allows you to move forward. This
will help build intelligence, and allow you to
learn new things, and experience new things
in life.

(5). Creating limits -
Although you may have certain limits (such as
financial, or certain capacities), when you
create false limits, you are hindering your
intelligence and ability to learn. When you put
obstacles in the way, that are not really there,
you are never going to try things. This will
not only kill your intelligence, it will also stop
you from trying new things, and learning new
things that can make you better, and can
possibly make you a more successful person.
So, remove irrelevant limits, and those which
are only created by you in your mind.

(6). Drinking -
Although it is something enjoyable, alcohol
does hinder your intelligence and ability to
comprehend or grasp subjects. So, drinking
every once in a while will not kill all brain
cells, but you should know that alcohol (and
drugs), will hinder, and kill your brain cells,
making it harder to learn new things. So, if
you do consume alcohol, it should be done
lightly, and it should be done infrequently, so
as to ensure you are not going to cause
damage to your brain, and possibly cause
problems with the future ability to learn new
things and expand on knowledge basis.
