When it comes to proving ourselves 'smart' we are always willing to work hard to come into this territory. Smartness is not genetic quality, or a quality which only can be inherited. Smartness is a means of working things differently but effectively with less time consumption to provide maximum output.To become smart enough, you have to develop some qualities overtime which could definitely help you to perform your duties effectively within due time.
Being smart is not a compulsion, rather it's a choice. And of all choices, this one is pretty hard earned. A smart man hasn't become one overnight, rather he worked confidently over the years, changing his bad habits, accepted some changes, sacrificed some pleasures and spent many sleepless nights to become one.
So make sure you're ready to do all that before you even consider to enter into this territory. If you're ready and determined enough to become one, here are some brief guidelines for you.
Argue With Yourself
Much like the inner voice, smart people who have accepted that their own brains will make careless mistakes all the time, most of which usually go unnoticed until way after the mistake has been made. This is why they understand that every potential action should be double checked before it is committed, even if they don’t feel it's need. They purposely initiate minor arguments with themselves just to be 100% sure that they have done the right thing.
It's like arguing with your own brain to provide justice to the situation and making sure that nothing goes wrong.
Focus on the Message Not the Messenger
It’s very easy to close our minds off from a learning experience due to the nature of the person delivering the material. However, an alternate perspective from an unfamiliar source can be a lot more interesting than annoying if you get past the natural urge to judge. In simple words, you have to overcome your weakness to trap your own mind getting stuck into the intentions of messenger. Rather you have to use your complete focus over the message.
Understand The Time
Smart people never waste their time not even a single second if it doesn't provide them any benefits. Smart people never allow distractions or mental unrest to waste their time in trying to figure something out. They are able to recognize what is conducive to their thought process and their journey to accomplish their goals as opposed to what is only pushing them farther away from working their hardest and staying on track.
Learn to understand the importance of time and surround your life around at in such a way that even you can't waste your time even if you want to.
Calm Your Inner Voice
Smart people are at peace with the fact that there will always be a voice in the back of their head telling them they are wrong, not good enough, etc. They have understood that, as torturous as this may be, that voice is only out to make them miserable and derail them from the fruitful and valuable intentions of the heart. So instead of fighting that, they listen to their inner voice, taking it as a suggestion and use it to be better.
Anger has nothing to do with a smart person. He can even use anger to his own benefit.
Smartness is not a destination, rather it's a journey backed by the hard work and some necessary sacrifices.
