Smartness, Intelligence and Reason
Jenn Zhu
_____________________________________________
bother to become an intelligent person? It has to be clear that
intelligent people tried to slow down in their decision-making,
doesn’t mean they are slow in creating good ideas. The reason
they are slower in making final decision is that they have quite
a lot of ideas coming out and it takes a higher level of mental
process to pick the optimal choice. The clever people without
good training come out with some ideas quickly, which,
however, may not quite suitable for that particular
circumstance. If they hastily apply that immature idea to their
action, it may not help things, instead make them to face
failure, or even get themselves into trouble. We can say that it
would be beneficial for all people to become more learned
and more reasonable, no matter they are clever or not.
