The Mark of An Intelligent Woman

People have referred to me as intelligent. I would rather accept that adjective than being given the phrase "genius," a term, which was originally meant to describe a guardian deity or spirit who watches over an individual from birth. I am in no position to be called in such a manner. I know how feeble my personality is and I have no power to watch over someone. I am already struggling to watch over myself.




How can I ever consider watching over someone?

So what is the mark of an intelligent woman?

An intelligent woman stores no grudges but boldly speaks her mind.
An intelligent woman has no room for hatred but shows signs of weakness in front of others.
An intelligent woman lives not for her own but breathes for the happiness of others.
An intelligent woman knows how to forget about pride, but has strong convictions no one could shatter.
An intelligent woman smiles upon defeat but laughs at triumph.
An intelligent woman gives a hand but sheds a tear in the loss.
An intelligent woman looks at the sky and is bewildered, but faces the mirror mystified.
An intelligent woman sleeps at dawn thanking yesterday but seeks guidance for tomorrow.
An intelligent woman understands others but remains in doubt with her own sanity.
An intelligent woman answers queries of strangers but asks questions quite frankly.
An intelligent woman does not quit but knows when to accept defeat.
An intelligent woman inspires others to become the best but remains humble at the sight of their success.
An intelligent woman reflects on her actions and sees herself grow in maturity with every second.
She senses the reason for her existence and exerts her best to live according to her destiny.
She is not alone.
She has sisters all over the world.
She may not know them in existence, but their presence is definitely felt with every words of wisdom uttered into the world.

She is I and I am she.
