If all the greatest world scientists gather in CERN which is believed to be the largest laboratory in the whole world that is situated near Geneva in Switzerland to figure out all the blessings that Allah has deposited in Man, the result of the experiment as sure as I am will indubitably be a total failure.  The reason why I made this assertion is that, the framework of the entire scope of this figment of an experiment is not constructed on a solid ground of possible scientific parameters.  Man has been blessed tremendously by his creator with reasoning faculties, attributes that are uniquely related to his physical composition, unlimited potentials and limitless humanly possible capacities.  Therefore, on this ground, trying to assess the totality of what man can do on earth is beyond human limit.

My purpose today in undertaking the ren to write on the title of this post is to dispel the overwhelming myth which many people carry in their minds that in this world, there are people who are dullards.  I am willing to wager that there are no dulls in this world.  Everybody you know is brilliant, including you.  In the whole phase of the earth, there is no creature that is as sharp as tack as man.  Man is the most sharpest creature that Allah has ever created in this world. Therefore, it should be a great underestimation to look at Allah's great creature and call it a dullard.

Can you compare animals and man when it comes to the realms of thinking, reasoning and brilliance?  The answer of course is that you can't.  Let me give you an example.  A man was ridiculed at a gathering of learning because he could not understand the lesson given to learners by the teacher.  Days passed after the incidence and all of a sudden wild animals begin to invade and disturb the people of the village especially in the night after every one has gone to bed.  The village council call a meeting and discussed the matter at length.  They couldn't come up with a simple solution to the prevailing situation.  They announced to all the people of the village to bring to their circle anybody capable of coming up with  a way to bring their problem to an end.

To the total surprise of the members of the village circle, the person who was brought to them was the man whom they regarded as dullard and uneducated because he could neither understand, read nor write even his name.  As it happened, all the council members were present when the incident happen.  Their mouths agape, they waited as this man gave them an elaborate and succinct lecture on wild animals invasion management.  He effortlessly carry them through  age old effective strategies on setting deadly traps on dangerous wild animals.  On hearing this sage on animal invasion management, the council unanimously hire him as the person in charge of animal invasion management in the whole village.

Within two weeks of his appointment, this man has succeeded in catching deadly animals and wise animals like  the jackal, an uncannily sharp animal that is considered to be one of the most brilliant animals in the jungle.  It was said that a jackal used to gather dry leaves around a secluded area before it sleep so that it will immediately hear the sound of the leaves when an enemy is approaching.  But even the brilliant jackal was outsmarted by this brilliant hunter. In no time, the village was brought back to normalcy and everybody is happy ever after.  What the village council didn't know is that hunting is the only interest of this man.  That is where  his forte is.

The above story is trying to teach us the fact that in this life, if you want to know whether a person is brilliant, intelligent or sharp then try to find his areas of main interest and things that he spend his personal time and effort doing.  If you do this, I assure you that you are going to see one of the most brilliant people you have ever met.  Many people become under-achievers because they were at one time or the other called dullards.  In the story above, can you tell me how a dull person can out-think a jackal?  So, man is naturally brilliant in his areas of personal interest and the untapped potentials of man are innumerable and beyond human measurement.

There are a lot of psychological experiments of the Self-fulfilling prophecy like the Pygmalion Effect by the distinguished professor Robert Rosental of the University of California and others.   Pygmalion Effect refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the expectation placed upon people, often children or students and employees, the better they perform.  The Pygmalion effect is a form of , self-fulfilling prophecy and, in this respect, people will internalize their negative label, and those with positive labels succeed accordingly.

Don't ever accept the label that you are a fool or incompetent.  Find your purpose.  It will lead you to your interest.  And that is the mark of your amazing brilliance.  Discover your brilliance and let your life be successful.
