If it's not Elon Musk then who could be the world's most intelligent human being ?

@cherokeepatti Excellent point.
No need to shout out about your wealth and ingenuity from the rooftops :)

@Nimbus Not everyone is obsessed with wealth and fortune. Some just want to lead a quiet peaceful life.

@Nimbus My mother went to a one-room school house up to grade 8, it was near their farm in Nebraska. Then she went to the high school in a very small town nearby for 4 years. She got a lot of scholarship offers. Chose to go to a 2-year business school not far away. She tested out of most of the subjects and went for 9 months and graduated. Got a job right away at the Social Security Administration in D.C. when it was fairly new. Worked there with a great job and then Pearl Harbor got bombed. She signed up for the Women’s Army and left that job. She took her military entrance exam. My grandmother told us that she set a new record on the test. After basic training she was assigned to a general and was his aide-de-camp. She went everywhere he was stationed in the Pacific theater, Fiji, Guam, Australia and then the Philippines. She contracted malaria in the Philippines and nearly died from the fever of 108 F. The military airlifted her back to the USA to treat her, It heavily damaged her nervous system so she was never able to work a job after that and was awarded 100% disability from the Veteran’s Administration. Sometimes she would be hospitalized in VA hospital for a long period of time and a few months before she was released she would volunteer to help them in their offices with clerical work. I never saw her so happy as when she would be working there (without pay). It was too bad she couldn’t have done something like that all of the time. You never know how a life will be twisted to where it turns out completely different than what was planned. I have no doubt that she would have been wealthy if she had not volunteered due to Pearl Harbor but that was what was in her heart.

@cherokeepatti Sounds like she had a varied and fulfilling life and one to be proud of.
I wonder how many people today would be given those opportunities.

@Nimbus She didn’t get to work a year at SS before Pearl Harbor happened. My father made her life living hell. I think that’s why she was happy volunteering at the VA hospital. She was good at the work she volunteered for and I imagine they told her how much they appreciated her for it. She was so business like too.
