Smart is no longer memorization. It’s not worth much.
Smart is no longer access to information. Everyone has that.
Smart is:
• Situational awareness
• Filtering information
• Troubleshooting
• Clarity of goals
• Good taste
• Empathy and compassion for others
• The ability to make decisions that further your goals
Although good taste is quite relative, the rest is solid.
Far too many people think that memorization and access to information are de facto making one smart. Nope.
Overall I think I’m doing pretty well here.
