Can you please define "Smart People"?

Really being "smart" doesn't mean you know all the answers yourself, it means you know where to go to get the answers.

If you have to ask, you're not one! ROFL sorry...had to do that.

My perception is that smart people have knowledge on a wide variety of subjects. They are generally well read & articulate. Some specialize in certain fields, but while not everyone is an expert at any one thing, they can usually hold their weight in conversations covering a variety of subjects. And last, but not least....if they don't know what they are talking about, they sound like they do.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it. After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing. Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do. I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time. I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do. If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking. I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress. Love and blessings Your brother Don

A smart person is somebody who does the right thing at the right time for the right reason. Being clever, intelligent or wise has nothing to do with being smart.

"smart" is a layman's term for someone who either has lots of common sense or someone who performs well on tests that require some form of cognitive mental functioning, whether it be amath/science test, iq test, or one of life's test. this can include a range of people from someone who solves a difficult problem such as the formula for pi to someone who wore a condom while having a one night stand with a slut

Intelligence! Someone's ability to learn and understand new things. Also their ability to come to conclusions by partnering relevant facts about a situation. Usually the people who do not understand the concept of intelligence are the ones who aren't.

Well, they're normally gurus, Guru. The difference is they're not self-titled.

At work, it means you are useful.

At school, it means you are intelligent.

Among men, it means you dress well.

In public, it means you are a good B.S.'er.
