students vis-a-vis multiple intelligence

everyone is intelligent

i truly believe that

i just hope that those
who got grades that
unkindly but honestly
said - you are not intelligent

please...
...do take it
... with a grain of salt

remember,
a grade is a measure of "something"

consider this alternate
meaning other than -

"you are not intelligent"

maybe that something
that you were measured
is not your thing...

thus the honest prognosis
brutal it may seem

but it does not mean
you belong to
public school's
row four
the one beside
the trash can

it only means
that that's
not your thing

so, stand up
look to the skies
life is beautiful

the pain and the joy
is really not that different
once you look at it
from the query

"what can I learn from this?"

both situation offers
the same opportunity
for learning.

know thyself.

lastly
to borrow from
mr jerry maguire

help me help you
discover
where you're
intelligent

it's magical
to move forward
from that
position of strength

know thyself
