Santa Clara Meditation Q&A by Members – Can someone be smart and not have good grades?
As a middle-aged woman, in my experience, getting good grades in school doesn’t necessarily mean a smart person. There are many socially successful people around me who did not graduate from a good university or did not have a college diploma at all. So, who are the smart and wise people?
1.Smart people have the pain of failure
If you look at the personal histories of successful people, they are either poor or have experienced many failures. They are people who don’t just ignore their shortcomings or sit down and work hard.
2.Smart people live with others
Smart people have an instinct and experiential concept of ‘together’. Never work for their success. Rather the opposite. Goodwill to help others is in their hearts.
3.Smart people make sacrifices
They are honest and foolish to help others succeed, even at their own expense. Clever people can’t stand such a loss. But something amazing happens. Your sacrifice changes the behavior of others. With the help of others, smart people eventually succeed.
