If You Think You Are Smart, You Are

Who decides if you are smart or not?  It has to be you in the long run.  The basic way to check up on your "smarts" is to ask yourself how something worked out.  If you approve of what you want and you are getting what you want then everything is fine.  If you didn't succeed then be smart enough to learn from your efforts and modify your 'try'.  You are the judge.  Watch out for other people's judgments.  Opinions of others do affect how you fit in.  Sometimes that may matter.  But your own self image must be basic.  Intelligence is the ability to learn from your environment.  Sometimes that means changing your environment.  I've dropped out of a few toxic environments and am proud of myself for doing so.  This is my first post of "Your Smart Hat" and I hope you will come with me and have some fun exploring: How Your Are Smart, Ways To Show What Smart Is, How to Watch Out For Control Attempts and more.  Try on you Smart Hat and see how it fits.
