How to identify a smart person [mini thread]

1 ) They ask questions

Then they drill down

2/ When you use ambiguous words, they ask you to clarify

When they don’t get it, they as you to explain it to them like they’re 5 years old

Once they understand... they write it down

3/ A smart person may not have a sky high IQ

Better approach to learning + growth mindset = smarter person and better outcomes

4/ No ego

Don't be afraid saying “I don’t know” or “Can you help me understand?”

These simple phrases will change how you learn

And change how you live

As soon as you stop asking questions, you stop learning

As soon as you stop writing down ideas, you forget them

5/ "Empty your cup" / Free your mind

You have to be humble enough to ask question

And *never stop* challenging your assumptions

If you drop your ego

And look “stupid” for a few minutes...

You can get smarter for a lifetime.
