Are you REALLY smart?

Can we really know if we're intelligent? Isn't the "standards" for intelligence skewed because the same group of people who make the tests are the very people who are considered "smart" by that test? For example - the people with high IQ are the same people who write IQ tests. And the people who have high EQ are also the same people who write EQ tests. So where's the justice in that? What if someone is "an intelligent mechanic" but fails both tests? Isn't he STILL a genius in his own field? But who will call him a genius when no test can prove it? I'm tired of people saying "nothing is impossible" Well guess what, it's impossible for me to earn a million dollars *at this very moment*. Doesn't that mean somethings are impossible? I'm not talking about changing someone's past or about messing up with the time-space continuum. This is plainly "a matter of fact". SOME things are IMPOSSIBLE. I think people who say that "nothing is impossible" are trying to run away from reality. It's not only annoying, it's not only impractical, but it's a shame. We must all embrace who we are and what we are - our limitations and our potentials. That doesn't mean to stop aiming at the stars - I guess it all depends on how great you see mankind. Reality. Not Fantasy.
