“Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
This statement means that you have to have intelligence and be a good person as well. You can’t just be intelligent because that won’t get you as far. For example, when you want to get a job it is very important that you have a great personality especially if your work involves interacting with others. You can’t achieve anything if you only have one of the two. Think about intelligence and your character as you brain and heart. Where the intelligence is your brain and your character is your heart. If you don’t have a good heart then you are nothing, you hardly alive and that is how your feel when you don’t have a great character. Now let’s say that you have a heart, but not a good brain. Without a good brain you can hardly do anything, you won’t be able to even move and that is how you feel and are without intelligence. In other words your body can’t operation the right way when one of the two most important parts don’t function right. These two parts go hand in hand just like intelligence and your character.
