in this current world being smart is a person having their friends n ppl from a specific category to get what they want ! AKA kissin ***** !
that's how the world works today ! if u know some1 u get whateva u want ! u just gotta play it right !

*cheers ! >> im drunk n im hyper !

much subjective I must say...
and not easy to answer
smart can be related to looks
or can be related to way of thinking and organizing your things
or can be how you deal with people and go through the different ways in life inorder to gain what you are eager to own!
or can be more of a bookworm

Smart to you might be Dumb to others :D

that's a very interesting answer thug... well said.

I also think smart could be getting what you want in a way that others may not expect

smart can be outsmarting someone in a challenge.

I also think smart is when you accomplish something extremely difficult in an easy way.

May smart also be consider a high IQ?... might be that too...

what I may also think is... gaining knowledge does not necessarily make you smart... but how to USE the knowledge you got may be so.

right?... am i smart or what? :XD:

What is it that would make you say a person is smart!?

Does gaining more knowledge make you smart?
knowledge yes but not education

Someone who knows what the hell they're talking about, who doesn't just say the first thing on their mind without thinking of the ramifications, who UNDERSTANDS what is going on around them.

What is it that would make you say a person is smart!?
to know lotsa stuff n understand quickly

Does gaining more knowledge make you smart?
yeah i guess

Smart is a connotative words, kinda diff 2 explain, depends on each individual's perception..

Being a smart person is being an out spoken person, very bright, not reserved, flexible with all kinds of people around, and adaptive to new communities and habbits very quickly!

Does gaining more knowledge make you smart?
knowledge yes but not education
Sweety... isn't knowledge and education the same?

Members: When you say someone is dressing smart. What does that mean to you?

I dont think so
take for example our grand fathers specially thoese who were merchants, had no education at all but gained knowledge by asking,exploring and experience.

ummm... sweety :p... just after thinking about it...
the definition of education is the act of giving knowledge... literally speaking :p...
our grandfathers received education according to the level of the age they were living in.
so according to their generation our grandfathers were considered educated.

However that can be dicussed elsewhere I guess :p... good point anyway... I get it.

...I Think Everyones Smart In there Own Lil Ways...

Being smart to me is knowing how to deal with different types of people and different situations the right way.

To me, someone who is smart isn't just good at the academic stuff/book smart, but also smart in life. Knowing how to deal with tough situations when you're under pressure, interacting with people, doing stuff on your own without needing asistance from others, the ability to speak well and get your point across easily, etc.

This is Smart

1-Them being smart
2-No, no matter how much you gain from knowledge..you're never smart enough, because you dont know everything ;)

Since there'z another thread about dumb !

then i would say that , bein' smart is knowin' what ur dumb at ! lol

Familiarizing yourself to everything in a short period of time. and instinctively do what the circumstances require..i guess :dev:

Is acting dumb when needed considered as smartness? i wonder... :rolleyes:

acting dumb when needed is a strategy... could be one of the smartest things :p

navigator: great definition.

I think the person is smart when s/he can use what he learns at school in real life ....
when s/he learns something about a certain thing and then s/he figure out another way to use it ...

I also consider a person who learns fast... who can relate to topics, discuss it logically and sometimes teach him/herself things without the help of others as someone smart.

Smartness includes open-mindedness and the ability to use good ol' brain? lol

if u r smart:

-u know what you wanna do in your next step
-you are not so open minded!
- you are not so close minded :os
-and no one call you a dumb! :mmhmm:

Even smart people have their moments of dumbness....it's only human.

^^^ yup! thats right!


ps: nowaday u should kiss @sses to be called SMART!
