what is smartness?

Actually what is smartness? Many people tend to think, who wear gorgeous clothes or look beautiful or are brave enough to take bold steps or decisions in their life, they are damn smart, but is it true? To me, smartness is a total package, there are many things/criteria. For example, if a person wears nice/ fashionable dress but he speaks in a bad/wrong/in appropriate way and  does not know/not aware what to say and what not to say in a particular situation is not a smart guy. Yes, I can add some more examples to clear my mind; i,e, we may see some people tend to take  tough or bold decisions or attempts about their life without looking back. But, later they suffer a lot, do you think they are really that much smart? You may also see such type of guys who want to attract opposite genders without spending sufficient  time in their study/not trying to improve their qualities, in my opinion, they are also not smart! And, what if, you go to hiking or climbing mountains without having proper training?

Yes, to be a smart we need to learn many necessary things and We should be prudent. Along with it, we must know about our limitations too. Yes, we should be aware what we can and what is beyond our capacity. There must be somethings which we can not learn or achieve! I may not be able to sing to the public but it does not mean that I can not recite or do other thing else.

So, to be smart we need to be wise too. And, yes, proper dress up, get up, your inner quality along with your beauty play a role!

So, be smart, dear friends!

P.S. if you like to come to your workplace without combing your hair, be sure, you are not smart too...lol

  • I know smartness in a positive way...who is educated, knowledgeble,know what to say and what not, who is also aware about his look, dress and bla bla bla....I do not know its another meaning. And, please give me time till tomorrow morning t give an exhustive explanation. Yes, I want to say more as I have found we should be smart.
  • Dear Bet, for others to react adequately, you should make yourself clear about what you mean by SMARTNESS. This word is quite tricky. I have read the comments and I think that most of learners understand it as BEING SMART/CLEVER. Guys, I do appreciate your watching American movies! But this word is a synonym for dandyism, foppishness. So, what do you mean by this word?

  • Well, whatever scientists do...I think they also need to take care of their look.
  • Dear Bet, I do like your blog but I'd like to say that being smart doesn't mean being stylish or even tidy. Most of outstanding scientists were slovenly hermits who didn't care about their look at all. But we will always remember their contribution to science and mankind's development. Present IT specialists, surgeons and many others wear diapers at work as they have no time to visit a toilet in time. So, what are we talking about? 

  • Sorry for the bold sentences, I think, I pressed cap unconsciously....really sorry!

  • Thanks, Luci, Roman, Laboni, ELF!

    @ ELF......you just read my idea! Thanks!

    @Luci....allow me to say, I would like if Scientists also care about their dress up. Because, now I like to think, we all should be a bit careful about ourselves. In my childhood it was very common here that doctors specially lady docs were too unconscious about their look! But, now I can see many of them are a bit conscious and I think to some context it is okay and appreciable. At least I feel good to see a doctor in this way and do not feel good to meet a  untidy person (gender is not a matter here)! Though, till now I sometime wanna come to my office without comb my hair...lol. But, I think, I should be changed!

  • smartness means: managing all Your responsibilities in good way.. looking good, speak well, doing work/task on time.. know how to manage these all task on time..

  • Very good blog . It's may very difficult to say about smartness. Because once I am saying "A" is smart but that time my friends are saying that NO "A" is not smart at all. So it vary man to man or eyes to eyes. Thanks for sharing very nice thought dear Bet sister.
  • Good blog! And i really tried to imagine the smartest human:) But it is hard because as Rajesh, Bet and Luci said it is relative to some factors. Smart people have to choose the main goal! Because there are only 24 hours era. And about the hair:) If i like my hairdo i will not change it only because someone don't like it:)

  • Dear Bet...

    Being smart goes together with our intelligence I would say... remember these scientists who have very high IQ but live just in the laboratory and don't care about appearance - according to your blog: are they stupid? Some people are smart but don't have enough money to look awesome...I would say you mix two things here ;) I got your point about guys who might be clever but don't care about appearance or oposite who look great but speak like illiterate idiots :D
    Anyway, should we call this smartness? I would maybe call it sth like natural way of thinking ;)
