There are way too many of them out there. I encounter them every day. I’m not saying I’m the smartest person in the world – not even close. I am just saying that there are way too many stupid people. Maybe they don’t know how to get smarter? I will tell you. It’s not about smarts – it’s about common sense. Before you let that thought out of your mind:
- Google your question to see if someone else has already asked it.
- Say the question out loud – sometimes you will find that you can answer your own questions just by hearing them out loud.
- Read the entire email – STOP SKIM READING! You’re missing valuable information!
- Read more – it will make your brain work a little harder.
- Play some sort of game that requires brain function – quit the video games and do a crossword puzzle or sudoku.
- Start a journal. Sometimes the best way to clear your mind is by writing down the stupid things you think.
- Take a yoga class – it will help you to focus all that stupid energy of yours into something useful.
- More emphasis must be put on the simplicity of reading a book. Doesn’t matter which one – let’s just work on getting more words into that your vocabulary of yours.
- Stop taking people so seriously. Look up the word “sarcasm” in the dictionary…and then look up a few more while you’re at it.
- Take a walk – clear the cobwebs out of that hazy mind of yours.
