Are intelligent people more lonely?

SUMMARY:        In this case, it is about emotional intelligence and not about wisdom, which is measured by grades. Emotional intelligence means getting to know yourself from sides, self-observation and also the courage to fight with the fear of being strange to society. Many people try to "hide" this kind of a worse part of themselves and they leave only attributes and views accepted by others. The result is insomnia because the person tries to suppress and avoid disturbing thoughts. Unfortunately, there are few people who are honest with each other and ready for exchanging sentences, sharing real feelings and needs. It all makes such people more likely to meet with incomprehension, rejection in the company and feel alone.  VOCABULARY: to be neglected I have a neglected garden because I have not been at home for six months. frankly I noticed that there are few people who can answer questions frankly . to over-privilege I perhaps over-privileged...

   It will be a short story, so I was at the gym today. When i was training I was looking at the other people. It is normal for me. These men in the gym usually are muscular and look on "stupid" people for who the most important is appearance. But this is seeming.  For example today, the gentleman approached me, he asked me about my mood and then we talked about the mountains. In summary, he showed great knowledge and interested me very much. Known saying: "clothes do not make the man" is accurate and genuine in not only this situation. When I walk in a city or take a a bus, I judge people quickly.  I am trying to change this and talk with them today. People constantly evolve, while the character and personality of human are still constant (it's difficult to change your personality). This inner human shows who the person really is. Sooner or later it will come out. Each of us has different requirements regarding the appearance, one perso...

I am a student and I often meet in lessons with something such that a friend asks the question "Why should I learn this?" or "Will it is useful to us in the future?". I often think at the beginning like my friends, but after a while, I realize that the question is stupid. We've been learning from childhood since we were born. The first crawling, then walking, talking and other things. Science is important, but I think everyone knows. Science has no limits and no time to finish. Even looking at my parents or grandparents who learn something every day, they do a crossword to find out as much as possible. All this prepares us for life, makes our lives more interesting and more diverse. We know how something works or why it does not work. I personally find it easier to solve some problems today than a few years ago. Life simply becomes easier, more interesting and more sensible. We must remember that science is not ending in school, it is also outside. Knowledge ...

I'm going to go back a little in time. I spent the last Halloween at home, watched movies with my friends and children often knocked at my house for sweets. At that moment, after a while, it started to irritate me and my friends. (Especially with someone smeared my intercom with smears) But after a lot of reflections, I realized that being a child was really cool. That's all, this whole game was fascinating and captivating for me a few years ago. We had more time for different pleasures, entertainment. Time flowed differently, life looked completely different. I'm not going to cry about the fact that I'm not a child anymore, but I remember this time very nice because it was a beautiful period. We should use every day of our lives. Maybe even it is worth to go with some group for such a common gathering of sweets.

I talked to my aunt recently. My aunt is 42 years old and she is very happy because her dream has come true. She wanted to work in accounting in finance, but unfortunately, life was so arranged that she worked in another department in the administration. Meanwhile, she finished the courses, she read a lot, taught. In the end, she decided to find the first bookkeeping work. The first job she found gave her a lot of satisfaction. After some time she wanted to find a better job, she felt that she already had more experience. It worked and she was very happy. When I think about what happened to my aunts, I can say that it is worth striving for the realization of dreams. If we want to achieve the goal, we must be firm and not break down. I think, however, that it's worth it. Dreams change the gray, common reality into a world in which people do not think only about money. you must fight for your ideas, even if they are run down and difficult.

   Last Thursday I came back by car with my dad from a workout. It was very dark and long after the 20th. It was raining. When my dad parked, he suddenly asked me, "What's up there by the bushes?" At the first moment, I thought about a gangster, a thief who was caught doing an "act". I shouted terribly. It was different in my father's situation, who was looking at this something with horror, he thought that there was a pushchair of my younger brother. In the end, it turned out that it was just a  toy - a big bike, which is not terrible rain. This event shows me and my whole family that we as people have different fears. Perhaps it depends on our age. After the horrifying words of my dad, the bandit seemed to be the most terrible to me at the moment. For my father, it was that his child's buggy would get wet. We both imagined quite two different things. Our fears change with age?

There was a special day and a special time yesterday. As you all know, it is been 100 years since our homeland has regained independence. There were ceremonial celebrations, buildings were lighted by white and red lights, I saw flags everywhere. However, if I had an idea that not 100 but 123 years of Poland was not in the world of maps or in the minds of the most powerful states, I am full of respect for the Poles, who, let is say it honestly, did not remember the free Poland. Despite this they followed our heart and fought for our country, homeland. Some of them could only hear about Poland from their grandparents, because even their parents lived under the annexations. I think that in their hearts there was stilla plan how to make Poland independent. I imagine that it was very difficult. And I am very happy that all this strength and determination was enough for them. I wonder if now my generation would be so determined and valiant. I want to believe that yes.
„Why are alt-right politicians like Bolsonaro becoming more and more popular?”     We live in a time of large amounts of information, easy access to news. We stop paying attention to some things, because when people appear unconventional, non-formal and characteristic like, for example,  Bolsonaro. We pay attention to them. We usually do not consider the views that they proclaim and they are attracted by their charisma, the strength of the revival, they are courageous in spreading their views. Otherwise, they are usually showmen and they can move perfectly in sociall media. They can afford the best frontman and create their image according to the previously adopted goal. Unfortunately, in general, such people are racists, they do not respect women or the sick. From my observations, it results that despite this difference these views find their supporters . In conclusion, people who are controversial, extraordinary supporters gain more and more followers.  ...

The first November is approaching and the time when we mention the closest people who left. So my mother told me about my grandfather, how he got sick, he stayed in the hospital for a long time and died. My mother remembered that at that time she often contacted her brother and sister, and they, with her, visited the hospital, cheered my grandmother and each other. When the grandfather died, together, they did all the formalities. My mother's family does not live close to Warsaw, and everyone has their own family and children, each of them was focused on their problems. However, when my grandfather fell ill, it turned out that they are invaluable support and help. Mom understood then that the family really is at all the most important. You can always rely on them, and we also have the pleasure of helping them and supporting them. For sure, the family supports each other not only in critical situations, but we forget about it, we do not care for these relations, but they are impo...

My mother's friend often watches various films on the internet. She recently found a movie from the series "7 meters underground" and watched a film about a boy with epilepsy. The boy tells how people should behave to help such patients during an attack, so as not to harm themselves and others. Last week it turned out that they were working with a girl suffering from epilepsy. And she got the attack. Nobody knew what to do, besides this friend. When my mother told me that, I was reflected. Despite the fact that there are many unsuitable amounts on the internet. Wisely choosing, we will find programs or films that can save the life or health of another person or ours. The internet can be a source of education and entertainment, but at the same time, it is the first step to addiction. We should not negative the Internet or television as "time wasters", but only to look for and receive the programs that we watch.

I was with a friend on Saturday on a day open to the university, where I would probably like to study. There were a lot of students, the atmosphere was great, I was also at the lecture and in general, I liked everything. But when I returned home, I realized that I am so mature and that the time of a carefree life was gone forever. The future is coming closer. Despite my speculation, it made me sad. At home, Iooked at my brother's year-old and with jealous in my heart I thought that he still had all his life, but me? I have only adulthood. Of course, there are also the advantages of this situation, I will be able to make decisions myself, but I have noticed exceptionally minus points. It may affect younger siblings, maybe just like that. I have such reflections that we should be happy with each stage in our lives because time passes quickly and everything is done with it.
