Three Ways to Cure Intelligence Excusitis
Three easy ways to cure intelligence excusitis are:
1. Never underestimate your own intelligence, and never
overestimate the intelligence of others. Don't sell yourself
CURE YOURSELf Of EXCUSITIS, THE fAILURE DISEASE 39
short. Concentrate on your assets. Discover your superior
talents. Remember, it's not how many brains you've got
that matters. Rather, it's how you use your brains that
counts. Manage your brains instead of worrying about how
much IQ you've got.
2. Remind yourself several times daily, "My attitudes are more
important than my intelligence." At work and at home
practice positive attitudes. See the reasons why you can do
it, not the reasons why you can't. Develop an "I'm winning"
attitude. Put your intelligence to creative positive use. Use it
to fmd ways to win, not to prove you will lose.
3. Remember that the ability to think is of much greater
value than the ability to memorize facts. Use your mind
to create and develop ideas, to find new and better ways,
to do things. Ask yourself, '11m I using my mental ability
to make history, or am I using it merely to record history
made by others?"

Einstein taught us a big lesson. He felt it was more important
to use your mind to think than to use it as a warehouse for facts

The story is told that the great scientist Einstein was once
asked how many feet are in a mile. Einstein's reply was "I don't
know; Why should I fill my brain with facts I can fmd in two
minutes in any standard reference book?"

With a positive, optimistic, and cooperative attitude a per son with an IQ of 100 will earn more money, win more respect,
and achieve more success than a negative, pessimistic, uncoop erative individual with an IQ of 120.

Procedure One, then, in your individual program of think ing yourself to success, must be to vaccinate yourself against
excusitis,the disease of the failures.
