In order for us to be able to control ourselves in a better direction, we must recognize our potential so that we can develop it as optimally as possible. Basically, humans have various potentials and intelligences. Howardd Gardner (1993) calls it the term Multiple intelligences. Gardner shares some of the intelligence that humans have as follows.
- Musical intelligence
It is a person's ability to change songs, sing and play music. This intelligence is commonly found in playwrights, songwriters, conductors, and several other types of musical artists. They have characteristics that are sensitive to tone, emotional strength of music, complex musical compositions, and are very spiritual.
- Body-kinesthetic intelligence
It is a person's ability to use limbs. This intelligence is usually found in dancers, athletes, surgeons, karateka, racers, mechanics, and so on. Like Michael Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, Valentino Rossi, and others. This type has the power to control the body, objects, time, physical response (reflexes), is also strong in terms of remembering.

They have prominent characteristics such as abstract thinking, arithmetic, orderly, accuracy, experimenting, and using logic.
- Speaking intelligence

- Intrapersonal intelligence
It is a person's ability to manage one's own feelings and awareness. This kind of intelligence we usually find in advisors, philosophies, teachers, and the type of people who have high self-awareness. The famous figure who has this intrapersonal intelligence is like Plato, a famous philosopher. The characteristics of people who have this intelligence are sensitive to themselves, very sensitive to their feelings, sensitive to life goals, aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and always want to be different from others.
- Naturalist Intelligence
This is a person's ability to recognize objects around him. This intelligence is usually found in scientists and nature adventurers. They have traits with more curiosity and love for the natural surroundings.
- Spiritual Intelligence
This is one's ability to make sense of life. According to Ian Marshal, people who have this intelligence are able to think realistically, are able to learn from failure, are ready to take risks for their actions, and are consistent with their actions and words. This is included in extraordinary intelligence.
- Spiritual Intelligence
In addition to the multiple intelligences we have mentioned above, humans have a very important intelligence given by God, namely spiritual intelligence. This is a person's ability to be able to listen to his conscience or the whisper of the truth that is within him to make decisions or make choices, empathize, and adapt. This type of person loves the truth, and is loyal to his heart.
To develop all these intelligences, we need to learn and keep learning. Don't stand still, at least walk, if you can run, run as fast as you can to reach your dreams. The intelligence you have is not able to lead you to success without effort.
As I explained above, that every human being has basic abilities in each of them or what we call self-potential, to become something, you must know what capital you have. You can't be a writer if your talent is a sculptor. Maybe you can, but it's hard. So, to be something with perfect results you have to know it.
