Is Intelligence Really More Than "Brain-Deep"?

They say beauty is more than skin deep, then it must be true that intelligence is more than "brain-deep"?

For most of my life I judged people by their intelligence level (mind you not the marks obtained in exams by cramming pages of tuition notes) but genuinely smart people and thought they were better than the rest and me better than the rest of the shallow people who judged people by their looks. But if you are wiling to learn, life has its own ways of showing you the way and I realized no matter how good looking, smart, rich or famous you are the people most important to you and the people you cannot live without are people who you love because of what they feel in their heart for you. It's the warmth, the compassion, the kindness and the connections you feel from the person which charms you forever, not the looks, not the brains and not even the money.

Then indeed if beauty lies in how beautiful your heart is, then intelligence must be related to your heart as well. It would be difficult to imagine a happy, heartless human and what intelligence lies in leading unhappy, frustrated lives. If all that everyone wants is happiness and satisfaction and escape from suffering in life, then having a highly analytical brain, legs like a supermodel etc can be of little help most of the time. I am no genius, heart, brain or even skin wise but I believe that the answers to these eternal questions does really lie within.

Our 20's shall indeed be spent chasing after a lot of things, money, education, career, love, marriage etc but I hope we shall make some decisions at least which will be more than "skin or brain-deep".
