    every person have a different knowledge,skill,and needs,human are social creature so that's way we have to make a lot of friends, if you meet a right friends then you will completely perfect,almost perfect,because your friends,will covering your weakness.

    in yahoo answer don't try ask using Quiz or IQ, because they will look like completely stupid,if they have wrong answer.so they will not answer your question,means they will not make a friends with you,because you look like "Einstein", remember Einstein don't have a friends,real friends.How do you know? he don't have a wife in the last days he die.satisfy now!!

    he only have a student if you smart enough use Riddle.they will answer your question.

    For example i am look like stupid, because i can't answer your question.and i fell dumb right now "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW"!!

    PS. "just kidding Bro,thanks 4 your invitation."lol:-)
