Holly's Essay |
| |
No test can measure the brilliance of a sunrise. Sure, photometers may calculate the luminous flux of the morning sky; but, still, its brilliance cannot be measured. Intelligence is not an object to be possessed. It is mental clarity combined with the will to share your insight. Intelligence is a relationship with the world. A light reading at dawn will yield a weaker score than a light reading taken at noon . But who would be foolish enough to say the morning sun can't dazzle? Don't give up on your mind. Your real worth has yet to be measured. |
