Smart | The Goal To Be
Smart
Far from being
clean,
tidy, and well dressed, the
word smart
in
this context is about having
or showing a quick-witted intelligence
or
acumen.
It is also about being canny
and shrewd in dealings with others.
There
is nothing wrong about being a smart person but the goal to be
smarter
than
others or everybody else is a like a double-edged sword depending on
whether
one
wants to be smarter than others fairly or unfairly.
The
goal to be smart is a very appealing goal. Moreover, to be smarter
is more seductive
than
to be just smart. If one is smarter than others then one has
an edge. In a fair and
competitive
field like the technology sector, it is a great advantage to be
smarter than the
competitors.
What
is your definition for smart?
Do
think you are smarter than others?
Do
you always want to be smarter than everybody else?
How
important is it for you to be smarter than others?
When
have you outsmart someone fairly?
When
have you outsmart someone unfairly?
How
dumb do you see others?
Do
you always think others are always stupid or dumb?
Does
the appearance, background or behavior of others make you think that
you are smarter than them?
Have
you ever been outsmarted by someone that you have underestimated?
When
was the last time being smarter got you into trouble?
Are
you always in trouble with the law enforcement agencies for trying to
outsmart someone unfairly?
Do
you believe that to outsmart someone for illegal reasons is a fair
game because they
are
just too stupid or dumb?
Do
you believe that one will always win if one is smarter than others?
Those
are the questions that arise when one looks into the goal to be
smarter.
The
goal to be smarter is a dangerous goal if one intends to screw up
others.
A
thief always think that he or she is smarter than others. He is
smarter than others
because
he does not have to work or get up early in the morning. All he has
to do is
to
steal without being caught. He believes he would get anything for
free without lifting
a
finger. Similarly, a frustrated competitor that thinks he is smarter
than others may use illegal means to screw up a dominant player. As
always, he will think that he will never get
caught
because he is smarter than everybody else. Generally, those who
always think that others are dumb or too stupid always underestimate
their opponents. Therefore,
when one is dealing with those beings, one must always make them feel
that they are smarter while one is also building one's defense that
will ultimately outsmart those bastards.
The
Truth About Being
Smart
Every
human being is smart. However, if one says he or she is smart, one
means one is smart in a specific or multiple fields and one has a lot
of knowledge or experience in that field. A person may be smart in
one field but completely useless in another. Does that make him
dumb? May be, it would be fair to say for
example that one
is a
dumb when it comes to a
specific field.
For
example,
an expert financial market analyst
may be completely useless when
it
comes to dancing or acting. Does
that make him a dumb or
stupid?
