I am smart enough to argue with my boss, rvolt against injustice and move alone without any support from others.
Some call me fool. Some call me intelligent. Even some call me smart. We certify others as per our own understanding. What is your understanding of smartness?

I read someplace that a difference of just 15 IQ points makes it difficult for two people to communicate. That's why the smartest people may seem to have poor social skills. Among their own, they do just fine. But, when communicating with with people of average intelligence, they may seem awkward.
So, I'm not so sure being smart is any kind of advantage unless you want to trick those with less brain power. Having balls is more important than having brains. |

So, I'm not so sure being smart is any kind of advantage unless you want to trick those with less brain power. Having balls is more important than having brains. ok, well, I would have to disagree. I was sucker punched once by a muscle bound idiot. You see, he was jealous that the girls were paying attention to me because I could hold an intelligent conversation with them. So ... he hit me. I was having a good time, so when he hit me, I was really surprised. I wasn't working out and about 160. This guy had 6 inches on me about 230 and all muscle. I was going to get my a$$ beat. But still I wasn't upset or afraid. After he hit me I was just flat confused. He shattered a lens of my glasses and knocked me off the bar stool and I stumbled about 6 feet before catching my balance. I resigned myself to a fight and turned to look at him to see if he was still going to fight. When he saw that I wasn't afraid or angry he didn't know what to do. So he sat back down again. Guess who got all the girls attention then!  Any idiot can throw a fist. Takes some brains to know what is worth fighting for... |

My point was that sometimes smart people spend too much time calculating the risks while the people with balls just go for it. It's often better to do the wrong thing than do nothing. By doing the wrong thing you at least learn.

By doing the wrong thing you at least learn. Still disagree. Jumping in with both feet and screwing it up more often than not takes more time to fix than if you had a plan that would work before starting. That is assuming what got screwed up can be fixed. Sometimes you just will need to toss it. Generally what is learned by these mistakes is to: stop and think before jumping... |

So, would you prefer the fire fighters talk about how to best put out your house or just start shooting water at it even if that may not be the best thing to do? I've had so much trouble from being smarter than a boss. He wants something done a certain way and I explain why my way is better and he agrees that my way is better. But, then his ego is bruised and he's got it in for me. I have lost more than one job by being too smart. |

Well, first, the firefighters already know how to put out a fire and generally, yes they do talk about how they are going to attack it before going in. Usually a 60 second conversation. Should they skip that and have them all doing their own thing or have a coordinated effort to put it out??? As far as being smarter than you boss, listen to him, agree with him and when he is gone you ignore him and do it your way anyway. All he wants are the results. You can think your boss is an idiot, just don't call him one. |

To me smartness is,
Knowing when I you can fix something and fixing it, knowing you cant do anything about it and letting it go. Being able to be thankful for eveything you have and not waisting your time on wishes. Getting up everyday and being happy from the inside out.. To me that is being smart |

Sometimes some work seems to be next to impossible but once we start we get the solution.
