Intelligence Plus Character

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education"

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

King has an excellent point in this quote. Intelligence is good, but it simply isn't enough. We can be the smartest person in the world, but without character it's simply not complete.We can't have just any character. We must have good character!Who would want to have intelligence, but no friends?Sure there are some people that say they prefer to have intelligence and no friends so they can't bother them, but once you see how lonely it is then you would simply regret it. Intelligence isn't everything we need in life. We also need friends. We need relationships. You can not be alone and be happy at the same time. We have to be kind to others. We need to learn to share our intelligence with the world. Many intelligent people have shared their inventions with the world and it made the world a better place. For example, Thomas Edison shared his invention of the light bulb.
