There are no smart people or stupid people, just people being smart or being stupid.
Being smart means thinking things through - trying to find the real answer, not the first answer.
Being smart means continually
seeking knowledge until death. True knowledge does not mean obtaining a degree that will let one earn an income and guarantee a good standard of
living. Learning is the elixir that makes the human brain the most powerful
organic decision-making and problem-solving tool on the planet.
"So long as you are seeking
knowledge you are knowledgeable, but as soon as you abandon this pursuit you
become ignorant."- Ibn Abi Ghassan
Imam Sufyan Bin
'Uyaynah gave an excellent answer when he was asked, "Who is most in need
of seeking knowledge?" He said: "Those who have the most
knowledge." He was asked, "Why?" and he replied, "Because
if they make a mistake, it is worse."
That's why we can conclude that being stupid means stop seeking knowledge.
Being stupid means avoiding thinking by jumping to conclusions. Jumping to a conclusion is like quitting a game : you lose by default.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
