Reverse-entry slide has JDM judges all aflutter
A bit of performance genius has had some Japanese drift announcers overcome in similar ecstasy. When M. Kawabata launched his Nissan S13 (a 240 SX to us Yanks) into the corner, he threw the car around so quickly the rear end enters the turn first -- and then he kept it under control. It's being called "drifting history" and "the perfect drift" and "the best drift ever."

No doubt. Steve Jobs is the single most important person in the silicon industry. He is a self-made man and Apple is HIS. I was glad to read this:

"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the 100 other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the many things we haven't done as the things we have done."

Hats off. But that surely explains the phenomenal success of macs.

Ok. I'm going to put it from my own perspective, but I may borrow stuff from these eminent men.

"How intelligent is Joe?
No, not much, he scored a filthy 610 on SATs.
But hey, he was the most happening guy at the party yesterday.
So...? He can just fool around."

Feeling deja vu? Most of us would, cuz we rate intelligence on scales as confined as the SATs. These 2000 superior thinkers have rightly came to the conclusion that Intelligence is not just this.
It is multi faceted. It has a LOT many perspectives, its the multiple-intelligence theory;

• personal intelligence -the ability to get on with people and be your own best friend
  
• physical intelligence- the ability to be an all round healthy individual)
  
• sensual intelligence- the ability to use all your senses
  
• spatial intelligence- the ability to negotiate three-dimensional space and handle moving objects
  
• creative intelligence- the ability to think flexibly at speed, originally and with volume
  
• spiritual or ethical intelligence- the capacity to have compassion, love and concern for others
  
• and obviously, verbal and numerical intelligence- intelligence as we see today

I really like this little phrase or expression, if you will, so 'm quoting it here

The greatest form of intelligence is someone who can make big links between different contexts

Yea, that means UNIFICATION, somewhat. If you know of scientific history, you'll probably recognize this term. What newton did was the unification of apparently so unrelated phenomena of celestial and terrestrial mechanics. What Maxwell did is like pulling up a billion pieces and assembling a beautiful jig-saw. Einstein's work was no no-brainer, but essence was the explanation of more and more phenomena, UNRELATED phenomena, as light and electricity (yea, photoelectric effect) using lesser and lesser number of explanations. Today, this unification is the holy-grail of physics and is better known as the GUT or the Grand Unified Theory.

Ok. A lot of history. But the point is, WE ARE NOT AS DUMB, not even near to that, AS OUR GRADES INDICATE.
NO, I'm not starting that "This education System is Filthy" talks here (It remains filthy, though). But yeah, nations have begun to realize this. Read

Why, why Is guitar not a lab equipment? Or, those girls at the beach who can befriend almost anybody, not olympians (with reference to olympiads, not olympics)??

Friends of mine, who scored moderately in classes, underestimated themselves. But as the time went on, I have seen them growing into so much more wonderful people than you can expect from grades. We, as people, are definitely more than taught industrial workers. We are intelligent. That tiny prank you played on your best friend that day is the evidence.

Today, brain is the real estate, its the essence of development. I guess the era of intelligence is right round the corner.
