There is probably a 7 year old child who has experienced so much more than any one of us and will not know how to put it into words. There is probably an 80 year old man who was too scared to step outside of his house and experienced nothing, with nothing to teach because he was frightened to learn. There are people who think they know more than you, who have 'experienced more' just because of their status, their fame, their age especially. No one knows everything and no one can possibly judge how much someone else knows. If someone flunked school, does that mean they are unintelligent? Einstein didn't even make it through school and now he is and always will be one of the most well-known scientists of all time. When someone tells you, you're too young, you don't know, you'll find out one day; don't believe them. Grasp absolutely everything and learn from every moment. Even learn from the people who are too ignorant to know that curiosity and imagination are the tools used to seek discovery.
I believe the most smartest, hopeful and influential people are the onces who once were told they were crazy, stupid and unrealistic. As for me, I like reality, it's a nice place, I wouldn't live there though.

reality is a nice place. it's the best place that exists. reality is not, by neccessity, a hopeless, depressing place, full of pointless limits. einstein's success occurred in reality.
I liked your ending sentence.
A question I hear thrown so causally around is
"what you get on your enter?"
I think that isnt a true reflection of someones intelligent. Whether they get 20.10 or 99.95 isnt a true representation. I like to think its how well someone can apply themselves to paper. Yes studying does help but if you dont how to apply it to paper its almost useless. Then you hear cases of rich kids being allowed into places like oxford(london) and havard(usa) not because of thier intelligent but because they can afford the expense courses and blow thier parents hard earned money.
Although there is the concept of an I.Q. test to reveal to the world your not a dumbass or brag to your mates that your '20' points higher then them. Again, even an IQ test is general and cant with pin-point accuracy measure a persons intelligent.
Best example of a person in a poor school in australia was eddie maguire or the ceo/founder of 'crazy johns' mobile fanchise. Look where they are now...
Good Post Chris.
