Intelligence or street smarts?

Tweet

Cassandra is a classmate in college. She came to the city for university. An honors student, she was able to gain entry into state uni. She and her clique were quite focused on their studies. They were all not from the city so they had the freedom to do what they wanted. They could have partied all night, wake up late, and skip classes however, they did not exploit this. And unintentionally, all of them had no boyfriend since birth. After we graduated and held our jobs, she had a lot of suitors. Her work had her constantly traveling and she had suitors in every city she visited. A few years ago, I learned that she got pregnant. One of the ladies from her clique was a close friend and she updated me regarding her situation. I don't really get surprised anymore when I hear that someone I know in college already has a baby. We are all grown up now. I don't even mind if one had the baby out of wedlock. I was dumbfounded, when her friend told me that she did not know who the father was. I was worried for her and her family. Imagine bearing a child, whose father you do not know. This is only one of the stories I can share about smart women that got into this difficult situation. My mother once said, it does not matter how intelligent you are, what matters is how smart you are in life. One can be very intelligent but someone will always be better and lesser than you. One's list of accomplishments might be endless, but it is impossible to win at everything. Cassandra is a nice person she does not carry herself on a high horse, however some think highly of themselves. But only remarkable people know how to get a strike in life. They are able to topple down all bowling pins.
