Smart People

In my long life (I am soon to be 69), I have discovered many things to be truism. One truism that I have yet to find a simple exception to is that:

  1. Smart people never brag about how smart they are. They show you.
  2. If someone mentions that they are smart they are; they prove themselves wrong fairly quickly.

Think about. Do you Albert Einstein went around saying “I am a smart dude, so listen to me”? Naw. He showed it. Also, smart people seem to be aware of just how really limited their intelligence really represents in a global basis. I always think a smart person is on who is aware of his/her limitations and is willing to defer to the expert.

On the other hand, I have constantly encountered people in my life, both personally and professionally, who made a point of trying to emphasize me how damned smart they think they are. Sometimes it was totally dilusional supported by neither intelligence or education. Sometimes it because they have obtained an educational accomplishment that they thought automatically endowed them with intelligence that had never existed. And sometimes the person thought that their lofty position in life embewed them with intelligence by their obtaining that position.

Problem is, now matter where they are coming from; dumb people are dumb, no matter what they obtain in life. You cannot buy smart. And you cannot change it by telling everyone you are smart. Only stupid people will believe you, although that might be enough if you are a pathetic enough of a person.

Think about that Donny.
