你够聪明吗-聪明人能迅速适应新环境(4)

Are you clever enough?

 

你够聪明吗？

 

 

As mentioned in the Encyclopedia¹ Britannica "For the most part, adaptation involves making a change in oneself in order to cope more effectively with the environment, but it can also mean changing the environment or finding an entirely² new one." Intelligent people are thus, quick to adapt.

 

Not only the will to adapt, but the resistance tojust about anything and everything is one trait of an intelligent mind.Although both these traits might seem to be at loggerheads, smart people have the ability to accommodate both the traits. They only believe when presented with ample facts.
