There is a tendency of people to try to make you believe only a few people are smart. As a brain surgeon, I know better than that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am not sure that I am that smart. I think we work harder. When I was at university, there were a lot of smarter people than me, and they seem not to have done quite so well.
For a crowd to be smart, the people in it need to be not only diverse in their perspectives but also, relatively speaking, independent of each other. In other words, you need people to be thinking for themselves, rather than following the lead of those around them.
Smart people are a dime a dozen. What matters is the ability to think different... to think out of the box.
I've been blessed to find people who are smarter than I am, and they help me to execute the vision I have.
People are smarter than you might think.
Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.
It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are ignorant.
I might not be very smart, but I surround myself with smart people.
I actually don't think that I'm that much smarter than anybody else. It's just that I frequently just seem to know what to do, and I think that's wisdom.
When somebody tells you they're not very smart, they're saying exactly the opposite.
