This is a list of things smart people will never do.
1. Letting previous failures dictate their current state
People who are smart consider failure as a chance to grow. Many people give too much importance to past making them unable to move on and achieve more. Smart people let past be the past and they see failures as a way of growing and improving.
2. Letting their inner voice run their lives
This is another thing that smart people will never do. They know how to silence their inner voice, the one that runs commentary when you someone is speaking to you. This voice pops up when you are forming opinions and judgments before you get the necessary information. This voice often keeps you from appreciating the things others are telling you. Smart people know how to focus more on the person who is speaking than on what their brain has to say.
3. Pretending to have all the answers
Smart people will never assume they know all the answers because they are aware there is always something new they can learn. They keep learning their entire lives and will never stop. They will always welcome curiosity and reason in their lives.
4. Being concerned about what others think
Smart people know that negativity from others can influence their happiness. There are lots of cynical people out there which smart people choose to ignore and would rather spend time with those who share their ideals and values.
5. Focusing on the negative
Smart people fully control their thoughts and decide what they will focus on. They know that they can achieve whatever their minds conceive. They know there is much more to life if they let wonder, love and creativity inside.
6. Worrying about things they can’t control
A smart person deeply knows that they can’t control everything in life and there will always be unpleasant things around us such as traffic, mean people or illnesses. Instead, they focus on how they respond to circumstances which is something they have control on.
7. Taking things for granted
For smart people, they always appreciate what life gives them. They value the gift of life and every moment it brings. A smart person knows that a simple smile can be powerful enough to change someone’s day.
