Can we train to have more wisdom and intelligence?

Welcome to the business management school, I was in communication studies, and history, and would not think about business school. I glad that I make the right move; opening new opportunities and searching new challenges and experiences. Don’t worry about the low score of conceptual skill or human skill, as Northouse (2007) examines and analyses skills approach, and argues, “Skills are competencies that people can learn or develop… The same is true with leadership. When leadership is framed as a set of skills, it becomes a process that people can study and practice to become better at performing their jobs” (p.54). This is exactly the American education system about—opening the door of learning, education, knowledge, abilities, skills and leadership or intelligence and wisdom that people can learn or train and develop, and not born (or from classes, families, or connections). How many of us few years ago would think that we have the first black president in the United States of America  in 2009?  Barack Obama won the presidency mainly by planning, organizing or hard-working, and for sure was not just by luck (e.g., most of his funding was coming from $5, $10, $20, and $50, or largely supporting from mass lower, middle, non-mainstream, or working classes).  Overall, we can learn, train, and develop skills, knowledge, intelligence or ability. Yes, hard-working, aim-high, and practice makes perfect, and yes, we can do it.
