Is it normal i wish i was smarter?

89% Normal
13 Comments

My thing is that I am an ambitious person and I really want to change the world. I'm determined to get out there and stand up for what I believe in. However, one "little" problem, I'm not that smart. I have my blonde moments, I'm slow, etc. I just wish I knew more than I do like others so I have the confidence to do what I want to do. There are a lot of intelligent people out there who are not as driven as I am and it stings me since thats not fair. This small problem here (sarcasm) is kind of holding me back. I don't know what to do unless there's some sort of solution to curing dumbness. Is there anything I can do? Anybody in the same position?

Is It Normal?

    Life isn't fair. I know a lot of rich people who spend their money on fur coats, whereas I could be spending it on an animal sanctuary.

    Back to you, though, what kind of intelligence do you want? 99% of what anyone needs is in books (specifically books, NOT the internet). The only thing you can't really learn is genius; that ability to form links between previous unconnected concepts. If you want to change the world with art, music, science or literature, it'd probably help to have that spark. But if you just want to be a world leader, intelligence is almost a barrier to success.

      You're on a roll today. If I paid you, would you come and stand in the corner of my room and just... say things! :D

        Sure. Pretty much my job description. Sometimes I don't believe I get paid to say stuff like this and say to myself in front of my boss "I'm fired!"

        But they don't let me go. Lol :D

    How about a specialty , focus on one thing , area , that's very important to you . Study that and become an expert in that field and then your in a position to work on changing the world in your chosen field and you'll be able to hold your own. you'd be amazed how smart you are when it's something that really holds your interest and passion.
    Good luck

    Why call yourself dumb? Thats dumb. Don't dumb yourself down over a few goofy moments. Just because you have blonde moments sometimes, doesn't make you a stupid person. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

    And I think its normal you want to be more intelligent. I think it would be abnormal if you wanted to be an idiot. The fact that you're eager to learn, says a lot about yourself anyway. ;) Give yourself a little more credit.

    You don't have to be smart, there are serial killers with 140+ IQ's and a Nobel Prize winner that had one of 98. hmmmmmmm...who made the better change?

    Yeah, study something you find interesting.

    Your learning capability drastically increases if you take a personal interest in the content.

    I'm kind of the same way, except I don't know how I would change the world. The best advice I can give would be to just be a good citizen and try to be a good person. Who knows, maybe your kindness will probably be contagious and eventually the whole world will be infected.
