It is not worth thinking that intelligence is exclusively a talent bestowed by nature or genetics: each person has a very powerful potential.
The problem is mainly that people simply do not want to develop.
If you do not engage in your intellectual development, you can even lose your natural abilities.
If you don't like reading, you'll have to learn to do so. Experts say that the easiest and most effective way to improve your intellectual abilities is reading.
So read for 30 to 60 minutes every day.
At first, you can take any literature, as you need to give yourself time to adapt. However, later you should choose books more carefully.
Preference should be given to classics and high-quality scientific literature.
Many recognized intellectuals prefer to spend their free time playing chess, as it is a game for truly smart people.
Even if you have never played chess, this art can always be learned.
Smart people spend their time usefully even on social networks: they follow scientific research, correspond with intellectuals from all over the planet, and are inspired by scientists and businessmen.
But you shouldn’t waste time looking at other people’s photos and reading mediocre information: this only slows down your brain.
Smart people speak at least one foreign language perfectly, so they can build a dialogue with people from other countries without any particular difficulties.
In the modern world, in order to learn a language, sometimes you don’t even need to spend money or leave your home: you can find a huge amount of educational information on the Internet.
