Tee-gurlee.:Your logic is pathetically flawed Faulty premise leading 2 a faulty conclusion. Its like saying good drivers are pipz that don't drink and drive. I dont/didn't drink, therefore I am a good driver. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BTW I don't drink myself, but can't drive a car to save my life 1 Like |

rodeo0070: It’s a concept that can be difficult to come to terms with, but like it or not our intellect (or our perceived intellect) can often work against us in life. The indications are all there once you have the eyes to see them. Have you fell into the “I think I’m too smart for my own good” trap? Don’t worry the big part of correcting a mistake is realizing it exists! Check out these 5 signs you are not as smart as you think you are and see if any or all apply to you. Coming quickly to terms with them and correcting this kind of self-defeating behavior can make you truly smarter fast! And perhaps more importantly, much happier too.

Point #1 Is a bit contendable. Being willing to give the general population what they want and get paid for putting out "popular rubbish" may not expressly connote smartness! Not in Naija entertainment industry it doesnt!! Just shows how many bozos we got in this country... 1 Like |

I think I can identify with this article. I used to think I was super intelligent, primarily because I was a local champion in high school and college. But at a time, I realized a lot of persons were better than me. Before then, I used to always groan when I'm not successful in some selection process that requires some intelligence, like passing a job aptitude test or interview. For example, when I just graduated, I used to refuse to apply to some companies, like banks because I felt I was too smart to work in a bank. In retrospect, I think I was naive. I even turned down some job offers thinking I deserved more pay. With time, I had to humble myself to get to the basics of whatever I want to do, without much expectations from myself. I just had to start from somewhere and keep making steady progress. I think this has made me happier somehow. The challenge lies in trying to gauge your real capabilities. Sometimes, we underrate ourselves and at other times, we overrate ourselves. There are two dangers in thinking you're very smart. First, it'll make you feel relaxed, thinking you do not need to work as much as others - just because you're smarter than them. This can easily lead to failure. Second, you start expecting too much from yourself. When you don't meet up to your expectations, you become frustrated and you blame the "unfair" system; instead of figuring out why you failed. 9 Likes |

There's a vast difference between a smart person and an intelligent person. But as the OP rightly said, it's a matter of opinion and opinions are subjective and not absolute truth! |

It takes a smart person like Maina to steal police pensions and also get away with it. It takes smart boys to dupe foreigners of enormous amount and getting away scud free. It makes a smart man to lie continuously in church and deceive people into giving them their hard earn money. It takes a smart man to deceive a girl by telling her he wants to marry her but in reality he just wants to sleep with her, the list is endless.... 1 Like |

There are exceptions to the rules. A man could be rich and successful and still be foolish. While a man could be poor and be smart. But can we say dat there are no poor people dat are smart? Smartness is actually subjective. 1 Like |

P.Stacks:This is wrong. Nigerians throw up bill gates when they want to excuse their academic ineptitude. He was very book smart actually, coupled with his common sense. 1590/1600 in his first SAT attempt and he rewrote it because he was cheesed off by his imperfect verbal score. 1600/1600 in his next attempt. Dropped out of college cos he was way too smart to remain in slowpoke harvard, not vice versa. |
