3.So many other things about life and living from golf to violin playing

Yes? Then you need to read 'Shakespeare the Truth other Greats: The Common Denominator: Innate Intellect'.

You may be wondering what Shakespeare, golf and playing the violin have to do with each other, and some of the other topics in this book. Well, it's pretty simple. They're all things I enjoy - a lot. And they're all things I've learned a lot about over the years, and which I'd like to share with you here.

All the people born into this world - from before the Ancient Greeks to today and through into the future - are born with their own innate intellect level. Irrespective of education they have left their mark in their respective fields of endeavour; think of Shakespeare, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci and Michael Faraday. These people have one thing in common a high level of innate intellect.

Beyond the discussion of innate intellect I also venture into the fields of raising wiser children, Billy Mac's Laws on Living Life plus a technique of golf putting and a technique and strategy for playing lawn bowls. I share my experience to aid longevity in violin playing and a proposal for women's contribution to the future of humanity.

I was born 1928 – the seventh child (son). Within ten years all five sisters and brother left home.I lived an only child life with very old parents that loved me, and who worked hard during the Depression. I guided myself through puberty and through teens, consequently resulted in being an abject failure.Violin lessons started in 1936 and I am still playing Violin 1 in late Beethoven Quartets now nearly 90. Fairly good performance in swimming, golf, bushwalking, bike riding, bowls, and most continue today.I have had ten years as a Life Line Counsellor. Eleven years at college – electrical, radio and management. Real joy – I had an affinity with the physics of electric heating and solved heating component problems of million dollar plant for several international companies.Married twice, two children, several grandchildren, some I haven’t met and a son that can’t stand me – that’s life.

INTRODUCTION

You may be wondering what Shakespeare, golf and playing the violin have to do with each other, and some of the other topics in this book. Well, it’s pretty simple. They’re all things I enjoy – a lot. And they’re all things I’ve learned a lot about over the years, and which I’d like to share with you here. I’m not always right, but I’ve got a right to my ideas and opinions and a right to express them, so if you find them interesting or, better still, useful, then that’s great. If not, then sorry I wasted your time.

CHAPTER 1:

INNATE INTELLECT: Shakespeare and the Greats

The common denominator

All the people born into this world – from before the ancient Greeks to today and through into the future – are born with their own innate intellect, irrespective of education.

The Macquarie dictionary defines innate as inborn; existing or as if existing in one from birth, and arising from the constitution of the mind, rather than acquired from experience. So we are all born with a level of innate intellect.

Intellect is not to be confused with intelligence, which is a capacity for understanding (Macquarie dictionary). One can develop one’s intelligence, one’s capacity for understanding, but your innate intellect is what you’re born with.

What we then do with that intellect is something else, and will depend on our education, experience and effort. For some, no matter the circumstances, their innate intellect will shine through, regardless of a lack of formal education. Each of the finest achievers in their fields of endeavour over the millennia possessed an extremely high level of innate intellect. Let’s look at a short list of just some of the greatest geniuses across time, acknowledging that there will be many others in each field of a similar calibre:

Music

Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mozart, Wagner, Verdi, Prokofiev

I believe that no other composer came up with music as heroic and inventive as Beethoven. The music he wrote with its wonderful melodic ideas and incredible harmonic progression is so touching and profound it will stand the test of time forever. From recorded history of the time, Beethoven’s contemporaries confirmed all the works composed by him, and his music calls out his name.

And to Beethoven you can add the outstanding musical composition talents of Bach, Brahms, Mozart, Wagner, Verdi and Prokofiev – and indeed, like Beethoven, each of these composers’ works calls out their name, confirmed by their contemporaries as their works at the time.

The key, of course, to all their achievements is their extremely high innate intellect.

Art

Da Vinci, Michelangelo, J M W Turner, Tom Roberts, Rembrandt, J Pollock, Alan Somerville

Fact: ‘If you like pumpkin and I don’t,

there is nothing wrong with the pumpkin.’

And the same applies to art.

Turner’s works between 1840 and 1850 are some of the most mind touching and completely satisfying works of art I have ever seen. There’s no doubt in my mind he possessed a very high innate intellect. It appears to me historically over time that his paintings identify his name and his contemporaries undoubtedly confirmed his name and works. I am sure we all accept that all
