Why do many smart people spend their entire lives at the bottom of society?
What you consider smart: being adaptable and tactful, saying what people want to hear and what ghosts want to hear. Actual intelligence: being able to achieve 100% focus on professional matters, having a very clear understanding of one’s own positioning, and possessing a very definite plan for the future. Many times, people at the bottom often mistake shrewdness for intelligence.
