  • You're thinking about yourself too much. I'm sure you're clever and all, like most people believe they are.

    In fact, most people believe that they are intelligent. Most people believe that they are different, most people believe that they are special and most people believe that they are right. Whether or not they are correct? I can not say. So I don't. But I can say that they are not all correct. In fact, studies have shown that most Americans believe that they are ABOVE AVERAGE intelligence. Statistically, that is not so.

    Accept it, and accept that you may not be everything that you think you are. People are going to disagree with you. No matter what stance you take, no matter how right you feel you are or even how humble you are to admit your faults, someone is going to disagree with you. Use your cleverness to understand that it's a foolish trait to get pissed off because you've been one-upped. There are better things in life to pursue than your own misery regarding the perceived short straw that you have drawn.
