Learn by teaching! It's no surprise to me that the greatest masters of science, arts, history, you name it, have been able to become so powerfully intelligent by sharing what they learned. Take, for example, the life of Nicolaus Copernicus, the astronomer. Had he not shared his knowledge with Domenico Maria Novara, maybe he would't become the genius he was. The fact is that our brains are like sponges: the more they absorb, the bigger they become! So, as a thumb of rule, I advice you that, whenever you're in need of learning something new, you should begin by sharing what you already know. Who knows, perhaps you'll get into some genius to get help while learning. or, what is better, you'd turn out to be another one yourself!
