Are you a SMART person?

You are right friend smart means you have confidence and dont afraid to face anybody and any problem

sorry ms surekha rathi i am not agree with your this thought. smart means a person who knows how to handle a situation or who has a problem solving ability not the person who is fearless,then by your openion only murderers or killers are smart becouse to do not afraid anyone.

@ redvakaurvaki Hello there! Oh, do you really believe that by graduating from a university and getting your dream job you can be considered smart? In my opinion, it takes more than that to be called smart. I think there's something extra ordinary about a smart person. Any one can get a college diploma;land on his dream if he strive hard and he does not have to be totally smart. For me, I could not easily assess a person whether he's smart or not. But I do agree with your idea that "good luck" is just as important as being smart too. Have a nice day!

Hello SAMKAT! Maybe those people who make a lot of money online have so much knowledge and information about online money-making. Probably it's not a good idea to compare yourself with them, right? I think you can also earn a good amount of money in due time. You just need to be extra patient in getting acquainted with different web sites and be persevering in learning various strategies and techniques in getting extra income online. In that way,you can start feeling that you're a computer-savvy! Good luck to you!

Hello there surekhrathi! I do understand what you mean. Some people are smart-looking. They dress well and they carry themselves with confidence and authority. I think political leaders and corporate officers need this kind of look. Otherwise, they won't appear credible to their subordinates. On the other hand, you mentioned about being smart in communication. Then I think you have the verbal-linguistic intelligence. If you're typically good in words and confident in using and articulating them, then you're a one true word-smart person! Actually, Howard Gardner a developmental psychologist developed this theory called multiple intelligences. So all people must have different strengths and intelligences, they just need to rediscover it and hone it to be able to become truly smart. I must say that you're lucky because you're able to tap the potentials in you. Good luck and I hope you get to finish your blog!

Hello ritzz07! Maybe you're right. Everyone can be smart in his own way. It's because we are created with the ability to think and to reason out. But I don't mean that if you're confident enough being with your boss, you're already a smart person. I am just asking if some smart people ever doubt themselves or do they feel incompetent some times especially when they face their superior. Are you always confident about yourself whenever you're talking to any body, be it your boss or your subordinates?

Yes, that's one pretty smart answer! But sometimes we tend to do the very same mistakes over and over again, right? Thus, does it make one dumb if he repeats the same mistakes? Or he might be smart but he's not just using his head?

Hello there DavidLamblog. Oh, maybe that's you're opinion. But basing from the dictionary, the word smart is synonymous to the word intelligent. You must have a different view about being smart and being intelligent.

Hello myswirlyagelessmind! How are you? Oh, I am surprised with your answer. After stating all your achievements you still consider yourself "not always wise"? I wonder if you deem these two words- smart and wise as the same thing. For me, one can be "academically smart" yet be totally unwise. I believe being wise is different from being smart. A smart person is a combination of both constant study&practice and the inherent good genes. On the other hand,a wise person is the one who's gifted with the ability to discern and judge rightfully. I think it would be great to become both. Anyways, I do really like your emphasis about the imperfections of human and the need for the acceptance of his failures. This insight must be coming not just from a smart person but from a wise human being as well. It made me think twice about my life; should I still be asking myself about my achievements or should I now start planning about my better version of self? Thanks to you!

Yes, we do all make bad decisions in life. We may be smart most of the time yet dumb at different occasions. I do agree with you that being able to cope in different difficult situations and being able to get up whenever one stumbles down can prove how smart one can be. I must say too that it's important how one looks at himself. Having faith in yourself and considering yourself smart are the two intelligent choices of a smart person.

hello egram! Wow, that's one of the best answers I've ever read. I do agree with you when you said that not all the knowledge we gain from school can be applied in our daily life. this makes me think about the street vendors. These people survive because they are street-smart. No, they didn't have any college degree yet they are able to get by each day.It's their hard work and not the diploma that feeds them. This makes me realize that any person can be smart if he chooses to. It's their everyday struggle and constant hope and courage that make them outwit others. I think one's smartness cannot be categorized in school achievements alone. Being smart is not just being intelligent in school it's also being exceptional in life too.
