When I was an eight-year-old girl, I was taken for the first music lesson. Ms. Grodzinska, the teacher, was a plain, elderly woman and her apartment was thick with dust.

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain test, or even the ability to do well in school; these are at best only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. 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]
