Different people Quote by Crystal Yang
“A person's level of intelligence is not solely based on the genes that they inherited from their parents. How a person was raised also plays a big role on how intelligent they are. Meaning that you can become more intelligent than a person who inherited smarter genes because of the environment that you were raised in. So go out there and look for challenges! Surround yourself with different people and put in all your effort. Do not underestimate yourself. Do what you can to maximize your genetic potential!”

![“[The] amount of search is not a measure of the amount of intelligence being exhibited. What makes a problem a problem is not that a large amount of search is required for its solution, but that a large amount would be required if a requisite level of intelligence were not applied.” quote by Allen Newell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/273/allen-newell-60947_amount_the-amount-of-search-is-not-a-measure-of_862326.jpg)
