Intelligence
Someone who is intelligent means having an opportunity to gain knowledge. The higher a person's intelligence, the higher the chance. It means, if he tries to think it will find something. Where this will not be found by someone who has no sense like a crazy person, even though trying to think.
Not really smart. But we must have a tool to be able to gain knowledge, that is reason. If so, then someone who is slow in thinking also has a great opportunity to gain knowledge if he wants to try. Of course the effort that must be mobilized will be greater than someone who has high intelligence.
However, whatever we have, we should accept sincerely. Because science is not only found by perfect intelligence, but even the lowest intelligence.
Indeed, it is not easy to run a wandering wheel with a few simple tools. However, is it appropriate for us to crave for something else even though everything we already have is almost never grateful?
We have been chosen. Even with immature intelligence, we have found a way of goodness through God's grace. We have seen the beauty of nature that invites the heart and all the senses to take iktibar, only because it has gone through this path, in the world of boarding schools which it says is very boring
Have a Strong Desire
Someone who has a strong desire, then every step of his business is always in an excited state.
That enthusiasm also means that he will not give up even though he has experienced all forms of defeat. He will not be lazy, and will not procrastinate to seek knowledge.
Lazyness arises because of a lack of attention to the primacy of the importance of science. We consider science as ordinary, so we are reluctant to look for it seriously.
With your passion in trying, you will get what you want. If your business is normal today, of course we cannot expect something perfect tomorrow. All results are initially embedded deep in the ground. How strong and firm we are, just that we find a result.
Science can be considered important not only in terms of reviewing the primacy of science, but in other respects. Like your study to avenge your father's sacrifice for money, or as a substitute for the tiredness of the mother's prayer which was offered every night.
We need to find motivation from another point of view if it is not motivated from one point of view. Because looking from different directions, will cause a different touch. Suppose you see the ocean from the shore, so as if the ocean is very quiet. When the ocean is seen from the middle of the ocean, you feel the ocean is very scary. What we see is still the same, which is the ocean, but because it is viewed from different directions, it will react to different conclusions.
Someone recites poetry by Imam Shafi'i to me, "That sincerity can bring something far away, and can open a locked door. Indeed, very many noble aspirations are sad, because they are tested by poverty. Perhaps it has become the letter of fate and God's decision, that many people are intelligent but poor and there are many wealthy fools. And these two things cannot be collected. "
My friend said, "We are indeed stupid, but it can be driven away by constantly learning. I'm not alone in my wandering for knowledge. Indeed, my sincerity is like a friend who whispers to me at any time ‘no why you lose, because I (sincerity) is present as a shield for further defeat, and as a spear to find the victory that you are waiting for '.
