    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.

    They probably do social media. Not always, but probably.They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise wouldn't have come across.

     They never bother their head about the problem of "work-life balance" and somehow manage to seem 100% engaged in what they're doing, on all fronts simultaneously(同时),even though you know they're taking appropriate steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced.

    They know they are the smartest in the room, but they don't spend much time talking about that. That is, they challenge themselves to make everyone else in the room the smartest person too.

    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 that you look bad yourself.

    If they are managers, they will make every effort to get people more connected and more popular than them in their teams.They're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic.(相互促进的).

A. It is not only a chance to listen.

B. They know it is an advantage to them.

C. They take it as a personal challenge instead.

D. They will be smiling even when things go wrong.

E. Now I've got an answer about whether someone's smart.

F. They also ensure their smart people look smarter than them.

G. They deal with home, work and personal interests perfectly.
