十个标志说明别人比你聪明

Unless you think you’re the smartest, who doesn’t want to be smarter? Of course I want to be smarter too, so I try to find out who’s the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from. James Gardner has got me an answer on Quora about whether someone’s smart or not.
Here are the signs of smart people:
1.They don’t talk as much as you do, because they know they got smart by listening.
2.They know lots of things other than what they’re specialised in. Theirs is the gift of a broad mind, constantly fed with the stimulant of being interested in what everyone else is doing.
3.They juggle home, work and personal interests with dexterity and never fall back on the tired old refrain about “work life balance”. And when they’re juggling, they somehow manage to seem 100% engaged with what they’re doing, on all fronts simultaneously, even though you know they’re taking appropriate steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are perfectly, serenely balanced.
4.They probably do social media. Not always, but probably. It is not only another chance to listen, but one they use to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise won’t have come across.
5.Even when things go very badly wrong, they’ll be smiling. Smart people never get ruffled because their smart brains present them with alternatives faster than the bad stuff can happen.
6.They know they are usually the smartest person in the room, but they don’t spend their time dwelling on that. Instead, they take it as a personal challenge to see if they can make everyone else the smartest person in the room too.
7.If they are managers, they will make every effort to get people smarter, more connected and more popular than them in their teams. They’re not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic. They also make sure that their smart people get to look smarter than them for the same reason.
8.They have hidden skills that never get rolled out until they’re needed. They don’t have any need to show their full capabilities for reasons of proving they’re better than others.
9.They may or may not have expensive educations. You’d never know just by being with them unless you had their CV in front of you.
10.They never, ever, under any circumstances, make you look stupid, even though it would be easy to do so. They’ve learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is you look bad yourself
除非你是最聪明的，谁不想更聪明呢？我当然也想更聪明，这样我就可以找到真正的聪明人，可以向他学习．詹姆斯伽登在Quora给出了办法．
下面是聪明人的十个标志：
１他们言语不多，因为他们懂得通过倾听来使自己变聪明．
２他们了解很多被认为是其专长的之外的事情．他们天生思维开阔，始终保有对其它事物的兴趣．
３他们在家庭，工作，个人兴趣之间游刃有余，从不落入有关＂工作与生活的平衡＂的老生常谈之中．他们做起事来，总是能做到全力以赴，全面开花，尽管你知道在力图使其日子达到完美宁静的平衡的表面背后，他们采取的是合适的步骤．
４他们或许会涉足社会媒体．不是经常，或许会．那并非是又一个倾听的机会，只是他们可以以此确保自己的大脑能获得其他方式不能得到的东西．
５即使事情变得十分糟糕，他们也会展露笑颜．聪明的人从不急躁，他们的大脑总能更快地给出别的选择，不让糟糕的事发生．
６他们知道自己经常是屋子里最聪明的人，但他们不沉溺于此．取而代之，他们把能否让房间里其他的每个人也都成为最聪明的人视为一项挑战．
７如果他们是管理者，他们会努力使团队中的人们变得更聪明，变得比他们在团队中还要富于联系还要了不起．他们不是团队的威慑，因为他们知道协作才是最明智的．他们还要确保团队中每个人都会在与人协作中表现得更好。
８他们有着不到需要时不表现出来的深藏不露的本事．他们无需显露自己全部才能来证明自己比别人强．
９他们或许接受过或许没接受过昂贵的教育．仅仅和他们共事是不会知晓的，除非你面前有他们的简历．
１０他们永远不会在任何场合中让你显得愚蠢，就算很容易也不会．他们曲折的经历告诉他们：让他人难堪的唯一结果就是让自己难堪
