Intellectuals are people who use personal intelligence and logical reasoning to acquire knowledge personally or professionally. Intellectuals are learned people with erudite ideas who propound new concepts and theories. People blessed with brains and those who are concerned with the production and dissemination of ideas are also considered to be intellectuals. Ray Conniff had once remarked, “Don't make art for other artists or for 'intellectuals', make art for people - and if you can touch just one person in a lifetime and make a difference - you have succeeded.”
Society needs intellectuals to flourish and tread upon the path of success. Literate thinkers and people of renowned fame in cinema, music, dance, science and other fields of specialisation are also considered to be intellectuals. Albert Einstein had once said, “Intellectuals solve problems, while geniuses prevent them.”
