10 Things You Can Learn From Smart People

Walk in a class and there you would always find a broad bifurcation of students into categories. There would be a group that would prefer sitting by the window lost in their own little world, oblivious to what is happening around. Some others would be quick to march in a class and reserve their seats on the front benches. There will be some who are more than happy and at peace to be able to save for themselves and their friends the entire last row. The remaining few are totally okay to find a seat anywhere in the class.

This fourth category of students has no comfort zones. They manage to be relaxed and at ease no matter what the situation is. Secretly every student in the class envies them, for they wish to adopt their easiness and adapting attitude. These students are more so labeled as the ‘cool’ lot of the class and of course, they are smart too. They are liked and admired by everyone. Here are 10 qualities that ought to be learned from the smarter ones in your list of acquaintance.

The situation becomes somewhat synonymous to that of a bee being attracted to honey. One of the biggest methods to develop a strong aura around you would be being optimistic.

# Intimidating

# Dressing

No matter, whether you don an ethnic wear or something casual, if you are smart, you will be. All you have to know is to know how to carry yourself.

# Sitting and walking posture

It is your posture that grabs the most attention while you are having a conversation with someone important. Smartness calls for not being awkward in your body postures while sitting and standing. You possibly cannot make a lasting impression on someone only on the basis of your talks. Body language counts too. Remember, you are strong and nothing can deter you from achieving what you want to. Let the same reflect in the way you carry yourself. That would be some real smartness.

# Listening and then commenting

Yes, using your brain is smartness too. The ultra smart ones do not blabber. You must have noticed that. You ought to listen, comprehend, frame your take and then utter something. Good listening and comprehension skills can make a large impact on the way you would be perceived by others.

Make it sound as interesting as possible. You are how you behave, be it in something as simple as good communication skills.

# Accept the criticism part

Let others’ opinions about you, make you, and not destroy you. Be open to criticism. How do you think do the smart ones manage to put on their best smile and brave the world?

Once you learn to accept the criticism coming your way with grace, you would unconsciously be training yourself to be strong and one power packed person.
