Like “Poo” said “Mai apni favrouit hu” I know you say “Mai sabse smart hu”
But are you really that smart?
What do you think smartness is judged by seeing? Looks? Body language? Way of talking? High IQ?
I am sure the friend of yours who has the best looks is the smartest for you, or the person who has answers to all the questions is the smartest, or maybe the one who has a class in way of living probably.
What I believe is that there is no one definition of smartness!
You can be smart in several ways, but what is believed is what is considered by the majority. Therefore, the ones who use the maximum of their minds, have the thinking that could be different and higher than all, could use their thinking to give a product to a huge number of people or bring an impactful change is what is considered smart.
Smart is nothing but intelligent.
Now tell me, are you intelligent? Do you consider yourself the most intelligent person on the planet earth? Have you given anything to the world using this intelligence that can make everyone believe you are the smartest?
