benefits of being stupid

I read about this article that stupidity has benefits. Surely, being intelligent would also be good. But if being intelligent was an evolutionary advantage, why aren't we all uniformly intelligent? But is being smart always has a positive effect? Are there instances when stupid works better? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-benefits-of-being-stupid-at-work-190339721.html

Hmm.. I don't know about that. I guess it works the least we expect it. I mean, I guess it is just something we get lucky on. I don't know how to explain in a vivid way. What I'm trying to say is I guess there are times when it is better not to know something.

When being intelligent, you can easily see that it gives more advantage than disadvantage. There will be times that stupidity is better.

I really don't believe in the word stupid anyway, for my own opinion human are rational being, maybe he is just a slow learner or can't grasp directly remember intelligence is not measure on how you perfect the exam or you got zero but on how they made their life survive in this very competitive world we had. Many are school dropouts but they are now millionaires due to their skills and gifts. Whats important is on how to jive in this fast and dynamic world.

Yeah. I also believe in that way. But people label them to be intelligent and stupid. What I do know s that everyone has a potential of being intelligent. Like me, I wasn't good at many things, but I learn and took my time and it will grow some fruit in your effort. I always believe that I am not intelligent, I just always give to effort and perseverance.

Well, maybe there are some instances that the stupidity of a person could actually save him from untoward incidents.
