I think that there is all kinds of "smart". Some people are really good with words, others with figures, and some are good with building things with their hands. Some people have common sense although they don't have awareness of opera and ballet and classical music and the great paintings and may not know another language. Some people have instinctive good taste and an inborn sense of what is beautiful and others know how to fix engines and washers and televisions. Some people are very smart even though they aren't very educated.

Some people who aren't very good at any of the above can read peoples hearts and smiles and are sometimes referred to as cognitivly challenged.

I think people mostly do the best they can with what they were given.

Except there are some who have been given great gifts and are lazy and I don't respect them at all.

I think that I have far more unanswered questions, each year I grow older and am not at all sure just what "smart" is.
