We all know smart people. If you're being honest with yourself, you've probably admired their talent from time to time. Now, being smart isn't just about getting the right answers and getting the best grades. It has endless possibilities and encompasses many other areas of life. Being smart means facing the world realistically, displaying courage and optimism, and having self-control and integrity. This video puts those personal traits in the spotlight and offers guidance on how to be smarter in your personal life, work, and everything in between. And since you're watching this, you want to be smarter, so you're already smart! So without further ado, here are 11 things smart people don't do, and what they do instead.
1 no apologies
Wise people take responsibility for their decisions and actions. He doesn't blame others for what happened to him or apologize for his mistakes. They take responsibility because they understand that answering honestly and accepting reality in any situation is the only way to improve. When you take responsibility for your life, you know what worked and what didn't in a given situation. You can learn from the experience so you understand better next time and ultimately get closer to your goals.
2 Don't rely on luck to solve problems
It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that luck will help you, or at least get you through difficult situations. But relying on luck is rarely a good idea. Wise people don't believe that luck will solve their problems. Rather, they face problems head-on and focus on solutions. Instead of expecting a desired outcome, they expend their energy towards it.
3 Don't act on feelings alone
You've probably heard that acting on emotion alone is a recipe for disaster. Also, it is important to recognize emotions. Smart people know when to step back and consider their options before making a decision. Don't be overly optimistic or overly pessimistic. They fully understand their emotional limits without losing sight of their human worth. And this allows them to regulate their reactions to external events rather than getting carried away by them.
4 Don't overestimate your abilities
It's hard to admit that you're wrong or that you're not as good as you think you are. Especially when the ego is involved. But once you know where your strengths and weaknesses are, you can accept yourself and work on areas that need improvement. Smart people are confident in their abilities, but they also understand that no one knows everything. As such, they don't feel the need to lie about their abilities or pretend they're smarter than they actually are. They prefer to focus on improving their skills and gaining more knowledge than embarrassing them by exaggerating them or being proven wrong.
5 Don't expect immediate results
Perseverance is an important trait in all areas, but it is especially useful when pursuing long-term goals. Most people want immediate results and fail. This is not possible. If you don't get results as quickly as you'd like, it's easy to get discouraged and quit. Wise people know that all things of value are earned through continuous effort and perseverance. Whether their goal is to write a book or lose weight, they are realistic about how long it will take to reach their goal and are easily discouraged if their progress is slower than expected. There is nothing to do.
6 Don't rely too much on others
Excessive dependence on others for money, knowledge, information, power, etc. makes us feel weak and incompetent. Just to be clear, I'm not saying smart people don't ask or accept help from others. Of course it is! In fact, asking for and accepting help is a sign of high emotional intelligence. But he is one thing to ask for help when in trouble. Relying on someone as a crutch is another. Smart people know how important it is to be as independent as possible. Because independence conveys competence and strength. It also makes your skin feel stronger and more confident, making it easier for you to achieve your goals in life.
7 Don't focus on things you can't control
No matter how much knowledge and wisdom they have, smart people, like everyone else, sometimes find themselves in situations that are out of their control. But they choose to focus more on what they can do to change their situation for the better. And they do it by concentrating on his one thing, his actions. Instead of wasting energy trying to change things beyond your control, you choose to give life momentum by focusing on what you can control.
8 They don't waste time on people who bring them down
