10 Facts Most People Ignore Until Later In Life

 

1. Health: I see it with my nephews. Most people eat what they want very early in life. The #1 cause of death still holds, Heart Disease. You can use food as medicine early on, or medicine as food as you age. Your choice.
2. Relationship: Most practically chase and hunt for a partner early in life. They desperately seek someone to “complete” them. Thriving to have the house, marriage 2–3 kids and live this fairy tale life that is portrayed through social media. Relationships are work. Go into a relationship with something to offer, not looking for a savior. Add to what someone already has, no need to “complete” someone.
3. Career: Many chase a particular career looking for happiness. Only to find out years down the road, you were chasing the wrong thing.
4. Happiness: It doesn’t come from money. While money can make things easier, money alone won’t bring happiness.
5. Who thinks what: Exactly. I spent years worrying what others thought about me. I would make so many choices in my life due to my own insecurities and not by my character. I was like a chameleon adapting to each environment differently. Most are too consumed with their own life to worry about yours. And those that judge you, says more about them than you.
6. Friends/Family: I have a very small friend group. While families can be toxic, when you are down and out, family will always have your back for the most part. As will a few good friends. It’s quality over quantity.
7. Toxic people: I spent years trying to conform, or hell, even change toxic people. You will learn it’s impossible to change others. It’s hard enough changing ourselves let alone trying to control others. Take care of you, and most things will fall into place.
8. Media: They arent here for our greater good. They preach hate and division. America is being raised on drama and most are falling for the bait.
9. Self care: Mentally, physically and spiritually. Take care of yourself and your body will thank you as you age.
10. Choice: Life is full of them, good and bad. Choose wisely, because the bad ones can have lasting consequences.

Some Signs Of High Intelligence

Please note: This brief was taken out of  many answers on the quora website. Thanks.

To edit my answer better, and elaborate on the points I made, these are very basic compared the pure nature of high IQ which is typically more dynamic and strange than just these points.

To once again edit and avoid some confusion, I know and see some people read my answer as entirely ADHD, I do have it; yes. Quite ironic how I mentioned it first. But to clear up confusion, high IQ from my perspective does have some aspect of thought rumination that is not ADHD.

So to continue, I'll example better points such as what other people have mentioned as well.

• Being a lone person, someone who thinks on their own away from the crowd
• Collected, well thought out intuition
• Visualization skills such as spatial memory which can be applied to artwork or other creative forms
• Hyperthymesia (unnormal and oddly large memory of childhood)
• Strange different interests such as specific and/or advanced subjects that others are not aware of at their level standard

And the ADHD points as an interaction between high IQ and ADHD:

• Inability to prevent certain ruminative thoughts [ADHD related so that certain ideas or concepts in tunnel vision seem important and to be focused on actively]
• reading several books at once (different pages from each book alternatively and taking away a lot of information from a small passage)
• writing with full-heart intent on numerous topics
• feeling concealed and thinking inside your head
• having many like-minded people that may be above your age or the same age and older
• having social misunderstandings that make it complicated to think in a well-thought-out fashion
• having an addictive personality, or some type of schedule that makes sense to you because of time management [chewing gum, exercising in different ways, listening to music on repeat]

But there's more to this, these points are only so common and since this is picking up more traction. I'll make some more points.

• Extreme interest and care to explain to other people
• The extreme want to teach others, or share the facts or opinions with someone else
• Making strong connections to only certain people that agree with very specific aspects
• Making connections to fields of knowledge which generally wouldn't normally be put together.
• Umbrella ways of branching thought patterns (umbral studies)
• Knowing many things at once, and only practicing a group of them at a time before getting burn out and moving onto another set

Now I've come to a strange predicament. I was sitting at my desk and my mom comes in and says “River I need to talk to you" going on to rant about school work, she pointed to my desk with her eyes, and said, “I don't like how you are so careless with your space, you have so many books all over the floor and desk, your surrounded by books”

And I said: “yeah, and?”

She says: “yeah, that's not normal", that's when I realized I think at my desk, my life is at my desk, I work for life at my desk and have since I moved In, I'm genius, I'm not normal, I have physics notes and everything all over the place.

So, adding to the list:

• Seclusion, hoarding, surrounding yourself with like items, and tunnel vision all together

Getting some comments asking whether it's anecdotal or not, I'd say partially. 

I took a lot from online stories, myself, education videos, and friends as my sources. Have a nice day.

20 Ways To Make Life Easier

1. Be driven by ambition, not by greed. Ambition seeks to make you the best that you can be. Greed seeks to destroy you.
2. Do not seek to become rich. Getting rich comes at a heavy price. You will encounter many challenges and sorrows. Seek to lead a fulfilling life that is financially comfortable.
3. Throw away junk. Give it away to charity. Only keep what you need.
4. Always keep a packed travel bag ready with a few essential belongings such as clothes, a towel, a toothbrush and toothpaste, bathing soap, a comb, and some cash. This comes in handy for an emergency when you have no time to pack.
5. Don’t make a habit of walking with a lot of cash in your wallet.
6. Never flash your wallet in a crowded place such a bus station, a cafeteria, bar or restaurant.
7. Never brag about how much money you have or the kind of job you have. You may attract unnecessary enemies.
8. Use public transport or a bicycle as much as possible.
9. Avoid unnecessary time-wastage and gossip. They only make you poorer.
10. Create extra time for yourself by waking up earlier and completing some of your daily chores early. You will create more time for yourself for your daily activities.
11. Avoid sadness by meditating or praying when you wake up. This sets the tone for your day and prepares you spiritually and psychologically to face the challenges of the day.
12. Connect with people and genuinely help people. They are your source of inspiration. Besides, you can’t do without them.
13. Strive to become a happy person — not necessarily a successful person. Happiness can be extended to other people through laughter. The effect of this could cut your medical bill by half.
14. Avoid unnecessary spending and instead, save or invest your money for your future or the future of your children.
15. Avoid borrowing at any cost. Borrowing only makes you a slave to the lender. Besides, the debt may overflow and become a burden to your children.
16. Only eat what your body needs. Eat quality — not quantity. Quantity only makes your body obese while increasing your medical bill. Besides, this can significantly reduce your monthly expenses.
17. Strive to have quality education — not quality entertainment. This is how to get richer.
18. Encourage your children to become financially literate by denying them money. Let them work for the money and when they grow they will know how to take care of money.
19. Spend the most time with your family and loved ones, for these are the only people you can fall back to.
20. Learn to be satisfied with the little you have and be grateful for it. For there is someone out there who is praying to get even that little you have.
