Ok, here is what I think (now)... maybe later I will change my mind... I dunno yet.
I think there are no smart people. But there are people with the ability to keep their concentration at high level when they do or learn something. They are very good at paying attention, and when it comes to problem solving, they are the "smart" ones. Because their brain works more efficient, they can make decisions faster and can come up with more creative solutions. Unfortunately I'm not good at concentration. Maybe because I do things I'm not much interested in. But on the other way, even if I do something reaaaaaly interesting, after a time I get bored, and my attention drops. That's not very good. I wouldn't call myself dumb, but I'm definitely not very smart. Hmmm. So, experienced on myself, I noticed when I learn something and I understand it totally, that makes me "smarter" in that subject and I even get new ideas, my mind works beyond reality, going wild, whatever... When we can concentrate, we will understand everything easier. This will make a deeper "impact" in the memory and helps the brain to use the information later.
Big eats small.
Strong eats weak.
Fast beats slow.
Smart wins over dumb.
... and at the end the one who survives is the one with more friends.
