Hey being smart is one thing but look intelligence also matters. Speed is important but efficiency is more important to me. People always complain that you could have been smarter. But we always have limits so how can you just be shut up when someone says you are unsmart . We cannot shun up what people say but yes we can improve.What do you say guys.

I am guessing it only hurts when you are in 20s. After that it does not matter much whether you are being taunted like that or not.

You are absolutely correct. It does not matter much in your 30's or 40's. You just have to carry on.

Just ignore them. They just don't know how smart you are actually...

I ignore these people at first. If they are so persistent, then I will confront them. It is not their job to say my shortcomings at work. It should be the HR personnel.

Yes I think those under whom we are responsible should only comment. Our friends just take it for granted.

I just assume the person is jealous and that is why they said you are not smart.

Those who call you 'unsmart' are themselves 'unsmart' in one way or the other.I have met some of them who appeared to be smart turned out to be fools.

It does bother me if someone calls me unsmart. They do not know me or what is going on in my life and maybe they understand something I do not. That does not mean I am not smart.
