The popular debate among smart high schoolers…!
I don’t care for either of them.
It’s in my nature to resent popularity. I’m popular among my friends and family. But I was never the kid in school that EVERYONE (Nursery thru twelfth)) knew her name.
And about “smart”? Well, I’m definitely not stupid. But here’s how dictionary.com defines smart:
Smart: having or showing quick intelligence or ready mental capability
I’m more impressed with this one:
Wise: having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion.
Lucky me, I got both! 🙂 But seriously, smarts are overrated.
(If I’d define smart differently, I’d probably attach more importance to it, though.)
