And it is only going to get worse...レベル15 [東京女子大]

By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations, and particularly in new, strange and perplexing situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do. ...レベル16 [関西大学]
