Do you know how to spot smart people? Are they does kind where they could solve mathematical equations in a single and counted the amount of time? Those people who could talk freely in the impromptu speaking that will conquer you in a simple gesture of their hands? How about you are you a smart personality?
If you answered NO your wrong, and if you think you are smart you right.
Let's talked about being smart people at this moment, and at the end of these words I also wanted to hear your different sides and definitions of being smart, and how was the really smart thing began.
In a painting, there is what we called an abstract picture, where you don’t know what was inside. The only thing you see is the colour, texture and pattern within but inside lays a picture that only two or three-person could see. Even the artist doesn't really recognize what you have just seen for he had his own perspectives.
That was a smart people was, you could see something and that thing from nothing becomes anything. The picture that wasn’t in there could be more than what you think it was.
I was also born in the era where people think smart people are only those could calculate the multiplication table within their heads, those peoples who could speak freely in English could be the international assets. Those who has a low grade in school was under the persecution of Class C to E. even the rows of the table was labelled depends on the child capability.
Row one will be the bright student, next row 2 will be the mixed category, and the last row was cursed. When I was young I witnessed a classmate that was scolded by his parent in front of us because he was sitting in the last row. Meaning people think he was dumb or slow learning. This real happened it our time in Grade 3, we don’t have the right to choose what sit we got. The teacher will decide if you will be in the first row or in the last.
It ended up with that issue when a new principal arrived in our school, but the education system still was poor as I remember, simple. Ingest smart people, teachers think had a lot more could do than average or slow learner!
We were in Grade 5 at that time when I witnessed again inhumane happening in our school. My classmate which was my seatmate at that time, because of angriness my teacher for he can't read what was on the board. She forced the boy and carried his arms in the classroom of grade 1. Yeah, I can't judge that classmate the next day he doesn’t want to come again to the school. He dropped.
This time maybe it becomes my alarming scene, to read more. I was honestly a slow learner in elementary, my highest grade was 80 and the always the rest will 75.
Back to my seatmate who choices to stoped. He was a businessman. He never finished Elementary yet he owned a butcher’s shop in the local supermarket. I am his loyal customer indeed and he always gives me discounts when destiny gives us time to see each other LOL, he was the owner and he had the employee that works on him.
See how people see unsmart people in our time. Because of angry and irritation of teachers, they don’t think about their actions, because they wanted someone to become the model for us not to be like, they unvalued people. Yeah, I really don't like the education system we had at that time. Lucky that this day I think it was already been changed.
In the system they called IQ, that’s was the basis in our time, because we could only afford in a Public school. So when there is an event and the public and private school was competing, people again disregard the public institute for they knew how poor was within that time.
Now from IQ, we had now Multiple Intelligent, where it's not only the good speakers or mathematicians could be called smart. Also who was good at dancing, singing, art and drawings.
So if you are good in mathematics you a bright smart, in drawing or digitals art you are artistically smart, doing some incredible TikTok dance you can now call yourself gracefully smart, and others.
Just like the abstract painting. Not everyone could see what you could, not everyone could picture those incredible images you had, and not everyone could create a story that you got.
So I treated everyone who was writing and blogging here as a smart person. Imagine thinking about what to write and you got something to typed, then you are smart. Imagine reading and formulate something to comment to be connected you are smart. We are all smart and talented in a different ways.
Why you think your smart? Share it then. Thanks for reading…
Intelligence is not calculated in the range of a title, you can be a worker or an engineer what makes the difference is the attitude with which you assume life. Knowledge is not acquired by studying alone, it is also obtained by seeking the solution to the problems that we face daily in our lives. I studied in public schools always from one side to the other but that did not affect me at all I learned to defend myself in all areas but there is no denying that each person stands out more in a specific area, I do not know about art but the message is very clear .
