I think, I am very smart in messing up with a completely perfect scenario and ruin it all. Then, to top that, I never cease to add up to it with my smart moves to cover it up.
A total smart mess - that's what I am! 
What about you guys, what are you smart at?

If you smart at messing up scenarios, then i'm smart at misunderstanding them, opening my extra smart mouth at the wrong times and conveying the wrong things.
Now who is the smarter person ?
Now there are those times that i don't understand things at all or maybe it's delibrate. Now isn't that smart or would you say that is cheeky ?
But jokes apart Mimpi.
I believe this quote to be most apt in my case.
Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

Catch 22 indeed. But here is how i would understand it
Wise means a higher average outcome and smart means spectacular well in a few.
Lets say 80/100 in 8 out of 10 is wise
95/100 in 4 out of 10 is smart
A wise person knows what to do in most situations
A smart person would know what to do in some situations where others would know little
smart people often miss the wisdom that is readily available to everyone.
[i]A smart person knows what to say, a wise person knows whether or not to say it
[/i]
[i]Difference between a smart person and a wise person is that a wise person knows how not to get into situations that a smart person knows how to get out of.
[/i]
Both have their place, and of course one would like to be both.

hehe i am pretty good at exams and stuff so people tend to think i am smart but i have absolutely no common sense whatsoever, which i think i would be a lot better off with to be honest!! hehe i tend to go the long way round to do things because it makes sense to me but not to anyone with an ounce of common sense!! hehe! i'm pretty good at having people think i'm all sweet and innocent, when actually i'm a bit of a naughty one!!! lol xxx

Trust me munchie, most of us lack that! And we are very smart at messing up even the straightest of things.

I've been told a number of times, especially by those who know me well, that I'm a smart mouth. I guess I'm smart at? or with? the mouth. Who knows...

Smart mouths are smart at their approach towards life. They are transparent and honest and you better be that way, Sisi.

You are smart outright! I know you are smartest when comes to crises and when comes to life in general.
But I bet you are not as smart when it comes to decide on the gender of a person.

hmmm...wondering what I'm smart at.

I guess I'm not as smart as I think I am....I can't even think of one thing I'm smart at!
I got it.....I'm smart at confusing myself and everyone else around me.
I'm also smart at fielding verbal traps aimed at me (except at the home front).

You may be the KING but I am the QUEEN of SECONDS (the second position). I am not the smartest in anything, always no.2.

That may be true but the mediocrity in me never made me the boss. You being a boss yourself speaks a lot of your smartness.

You have not told what all you mess up in your life? And how wo you cover it up, once you have noticed that you have messed up the things. I also messed up the things many a times, but I feel that I should reveal the truth to the other fellow, instead of covering up, sometimes covering up proves counter-productive for me and I get caught in my own game. So I try to be transparent so that I should not feel guilty about coverying up anything.

I better not tell anyone of the mess!
There are so many, I would mess with choosing this time. Being transparent is good but that doesn't save you from a mess.

I thought had you told the details of the issues, which got messed up by you, I would have learnt a lesson from you.

dear friend, i think the philosophy ideology make me smart.because i learn many useful and helpful things from this subject.I think most smart people have this feeling, after you learn the philosophy,your mind is clearer and smarter which makes the complicated things to the simple things. so we can find the real spirit easily.so i think that is thing which makes me smarter than before.lol
good luck

I ma smart at making me fool most of the times. because I am a smart(as most people think )I end up making a fool out of me, like when I offer an answer and the people would look at me in weird way because they think my answer is not appropriate or something that they don't know. arg! and just like now, I am hurrying up answering and I think I have posted some 2o response and I think I just made a fool out of me, trying to beat the time.
