Why Smart People Struggle to “Be Normal” (Level 1)

Many people want to be very smart. But sometimes, highly intelligent people can act in stupid ways. Why does this happen? First, smart people often use logic for everything. They try to use logic in social situations instead of feelings. This does not work well. Second, smart people get bored easily. Their brains work fast, so they stop paying attention to simple things. This causes careless mistakes. Third, smart people can be stubborn. If they are wrong, they use their big brains to argue that they are right. They do not like to admit mistakes. Also, they use the same rules for everything. A boss might treat his family like his workers. This causes fights at home. How can smart people do better? They need to slow down. They should listen to different ideas and collect all the facts before making a choice. This helps them become truly wise.
