The Smart Hat helps you make choices about many things including your self image. So far in your life you have been subjected to the reactions and opinions of others in forming your self image. This has even been studied widely. In fact, the American Sociologist Charles Horton Cooley (1864-1929)
referred to this as ' the looking glass self '. However, your Smart Hat can help you reject the mistakes of others. If others have given you a self-image of not so smart that is a mistaken image. When you look in the mirror you can smile. You can say, "I have discovered that I am smart in many ways." Imagine looking in a mirror and smiling. Then see yourself saying to yourself, "I am pretty smart. I learned to smile didn't I?" When people are smiling at each other there is no thought of labels or rankings. There is just here and now communication. Do that for yourself. Smile in the mirror and be happy. Then if there is something you need to learn it will be easier. The happier you are the easier it is to learn. So put on your Smart Hat and smile and laugh all the way to the top of your class.
