A Little Story
Many, many years ago, Baroness Thatcher, at the time The Right Honourable Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Prime Minister, was due to attend an important function at which the Guest of Honour was HM The Queen, or Hot Lizzy Windsor to her inner circle of good friends.
The PM was very conscious of matters of protocol and would have only been shocked and mortified if she were to turn up in a similar type of outfit, same colours etc. and be seen to upstage HM. So the PM had her private PA contact HM's private PA to ascertain what HM would be wearing to the function. HM's PA did'nt know what HM intended to wear and requested of the PM's PA why the PM was interested to know. The PM's PA explained that the PM was very conscious of what she wore in HM's presence and did not want people to get the impression that she had somehow attempted to upstage HM in terms of her dress.
HM's PA replied that "HM does not pass any notice on how people are dressed".
And therein lies the difference between education and intelligence.........intelligence can exist with little or no formal education and intelligence transcends what can be achieved through the education process. The best that can be said for education, is that, it is a formal mechanism for empowering, motivating and assisting the individual to tap into and utilise their own innate intellectual ability. The same results could be achieved through self-study, work experience, vociferous reading or watching educational and informative TV programmes.
Some of the most successful and wealthiest business people had little or no formal education.......Andrew Carnegie, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Bill Cullen, Alan Sugar, Oprah Winfrey etc.
There is no correlation between bad spelling and also dyslexia and sub-normal intelligence.
Snobbery, condescension and the reliance on abusive behaviour to sustain an arguement are not signs of intelligence.
