How strong can a person become mentally?

Question

How intelligent can a person become?

Answer 1

You can become smart, I believe true intelligence is something one is born with and nurtures its development much like a child. If you eat healthy foods at the start of your life (studies show certain foods are good for brain development) and then continue on the path of building your brain gradually with stronger and stronger input you will gain intelligence. I have been reading more challenging information over the years and I have become intelligent on many subjects. You can also be "book smart" and have no common sense, to me that makes you dangerous.

Answer 2

That's a really interesting question. I'd think it would be endless. I mean, if you think about it, just our day to day life is a lot to handle, let alone everything we learn at our jobs on a day to day basis, everything we have learned in school, everything we learn on a daily basis in the news, what we read, that's a lot of information to process. I don't think the brain could overload on information, although, learning does not come as easy as it did when we were children...and I heard somewhere that by your early 20's, it is hard for information to really stick and for you to absorb knowledge like you did when you were 3 years old and your mind was like a sponge. But, in those first couple years of life is when we accumulate the most knowledge and take in everything around us. Hopefully our brains can't overload on too much info...personally I think the mind is endless. I think a lot of it has to do with memory too because that is how you remember what you have learned, that is where the information is stored..so possibly, the memory can really limit how fast a person learns and how much of what has been learn is remembered.

...are you talking about street smarts or book smarts?
