Howard Gardner’s theory proposed that there are multiple ways in which an individual can be considered smart, and that it’s just a case of understanding which intelligence fits you best.

When we talk about self-confidence, we are talking about the belief that we place on ourselves, our abilities and our skillsets.

Working in a team is a task that you will come across in your life quite often, so it is a serious aspect of most college and working environments. It involves the collaborative harnessing of individuals ideas as you all work towards an agreed goal, or outcome, in an agreed timeframe in order to solve a problem.
