Smart can have many definitions. But generally speaking smart people;
- question everything while seeing commonalities in everything.
- love to read and learn.
- see everything as being a math equation to be solved.
- are referred to as walking encyclopedias and can quickly recollect information they have already absorbed from years before.
- know that to retain it, you must maintain it, so journaling is a habit they adopt when they are young.
- are creative. Most are born with natural talents in art, music, etc.
- enjoy their alone time.
- can suffer from anxiety and addictions. ( Believe it or not, geniuses are not exempt from addictive behaviors..)
- understand that they don't know everything. Therefore, they crave to understand everything they possibly can while they are here.
- work best independently.
- are open-minded.
- admit when they are wrong or could be wrong.
- are honest to a fault.
- are mostly optimistic and driven to meet their goals, no matter the time and work involved.
- Can set their own pace.
- are argumentative and curious as children.
- are genuinely curious as adults which leads to awkward interactions with others.
- ask “why” a lot in their formative years.
- give excellent one-liners.
- are often misunderstood by the world around them.
- can suffer from imposter syndrome as both a child and adult.
- Their explanations are like lightbulbs going off in their heads and yours, too.
- are human, but some will seem of another world, place, or time.
- make you question your own life without even trying.
- are born this way for a reason that they aren't even sure of as to the why, but will always be in search of the answer for the rest of their lives.
