The first thing you need to understand is that one of the most important features of your character for becoming an intelligent individual is curiosity. You need to be interested in the world that surround us and understand how the things work in it. It's of no surprise that the more you get to know the more questions you have. This is the point of your constant personal and professional development. Once you learn how something works and see some drawbacks in it, your brain starts searching for the possible ways to improve it. That is how new ideas are born and the world receives new useful inventions. Some people have this urge of learning new things, the others don't. This is where going to college or university can help you a lot.
