the characteristics of smart people

Saturday, 12 September 2015

 Can't say about all but I have noticed few things about smart people :

1. Smart people are often the most quiet people in the room : Smart people learned a long time ago that it is often better to remain quiet and seem smart than to open their mouths and remove all doubt. Smart people sit in a room and absorb as much information as they possibly can from the conversations going on around them.                           
2. Smart people tend to know a lot about a wide range of topics, and not just a few basic things :  They know a lot of things that you know little about and may not have even heard of before. This is because they are genuinely interested in what everyone else is doing around them, not just what they are involved in.
3. Smart people continually look for ways to educate themselves :If they find something they do not quite understand, they will certainly take the time to find out more about that topic until they do understand it and can explain it to someone else in a meaningful way.
4. They tend to read more books, watch more informative television programs and take educational courses in their free time to increase their knowledge and expand their skill sets as much as they can.
5. Smart people find a way to manage work, home life and outside interests very well so that they are always engaged and interested in everything they are doing.
6. Smart people realize the value of balance in every area of their lives, and they ensure that they get enough rest, play and work into each day, maximizing every day they spend on the planet.
7. Smart people typically never make other people look stupid by mocking them or making them feel inferior. That’s because smart people know there is always someone smarter than them out there, too.
8. Smart people usually have extensive educational backgrounds or skills. Most of the time you would never know much about this unless you saw their resume, and most smart people are not going to flash theirs in your face.
9. Smart people are often bored with one type of work, so they tend to engage in several careers over their lifetime. Sometimes a very smart person may be on a second or third career by the time they reach their forties, while many of us are still working on being great at what we have been doing for a while already.
10. When things go wrong for a smart person, they do not tend to dwell on that. This is because they are always thinking of ways out of these types of situations, and they can easily tackle a problem with a well-thought-out solution.
11. A smart person’s brain is always working to help them to deal with anything that life throws at them – and good or bad, they will find a way to deal with every situation effectively.

So, The next time you’re in a group or crowd, study the people in the room and watch for these signs. :)
