@yodelerty Smart people know how to maneuver in particular situations. Social or otherwise. They know how to do what they intend to accomplish. That is all. They don't all do everything in the world...I can draw and sculpt, but I can hardly do much of anything else. My personal talents came at a great personal cost of general scholastic knowledge, for example. I know mountain men in the local area that never had more than a 6th-grade education and are the strongest, most reliable, capable men I've ever met, regardless of their educational losses. I still consider them smart. If you are good at ANYTHING, that helps to define who YOU are. That's not who I am, or indeed, anyone else. That helps define who you will be/are and you are "smart" if you use it to your advantage, I think.
