This hurts

My ego's stricken. My limbs feel like falling off. I feel different and useless that makes me truely wonder if I am mentally retarded compared to everyone else. Life feels rather bitchy at the moment and I feel terrible for things I have mistakenly done without realising the consequences. There are some things I don't say on blogs and this is one of them.

... I've had a lot of draw-backs and ego killers now that I know the only thing I can do is try get up again, carry on, and keep trying.

Come on, get over it.

You are not less intelligent than anyone, you simply think in a different way. Maybe that means you perceive the meaning of something differently or after a longer time than someone else, but you're probably just thinking down a different pathway.

And, think about it this way, why would all your friends be brainier than you? People normally choose friends with quite similar traits.

Why don't you get some brain training going on? Learn a third language, read more foreign books. Get some crossover between the left and right sides of your brain, write with your other hand, learn how to juggle.

All this kind of stuff will cause extra neuron connections to be created inside your brain. Anyone can do it, and its easy.

The difference with study is that it only helps you memorise stuff. It doesn't improve your thought processes, and doesn't really do much for your brain. You need to get that crossover. Draw pictures with your left hand, whatever.

Knowledge of course does have its uses. Only if you learn how to apply it.
