We have so many types of intelligence but unfortunately most people don’t know this, especially African parents
If you’re not good in maths in African home, they automatically think you’re dull, you’re not intelligent.
If you’re not good in science in African home, they automatically think you’re dull.
I wish parents could learn this and change their attitude towards their children and others
And to you reading this, if you want to grow and find happiness, try and know where you’re good at and stay there
When you know where you’re good at, you won’t struggle.
You can admit it that there are courses and subjects back then in school you didn’t read or read much for exams and ended up passing it, you had confident in the exams hall. Because that’s what you’re good at
When you find your niche and stay there, you grow effortlessly
Parents, madam, Oga’s , when you want to help your child to grow or sponsor someone to grow, know the kind of intelligence they are good at. Don’t force your preferred intelligence on them.
