How to distinguish an intelligent man from a near one, one mistake betrays a fool Bashny.Net

Smart and stupid people: what are the differences between them? You can hear many different answers to this question from different specialists. But who's right? And can a single obvious mistake testify to the unconditional stupidity of a person?

Today's edition. "Site" will share the opinion of a novice psychologist who is sure that he knows how to unmistakably distinguish an intelligent person from a near one. And it's just one mistake that can at one point complicate the life of this person. Does a wise man really want to be himself?



I have two acquaintances who worked in a pretty large company as economists. Both Peter and Andrey held similar positions, had approximately the same small weight in the company, although there were prospects for growth. And in general, they did not complain about the conditions at first, Pavel writes.



“Then their leader started a new project, more work was done. And the boss of these guys did not shirk from work, came early in the morning and stayed late. But although the workload grew, the salary remained at the same level as the company needed to save money. Of course I couldn't like it.

The head did not have time to solve many personal issues on his own, so he entrusted them to his closest subordinates - Peter and Andrei. Then he asked him on the way to buy something for breakfast, then he asked the child to pick up from school, then he gave some other errands. At the same time, he always behaved correctly, explaining what important things he is doing now and why he does not have time to do something himself.



Once the boss had a wedding anniversary, it was necessary to celebrate the anniversary with his wife. But that same day, he had to meet with important clients on whom the future of the company might depend. The manager called Peter and asked him to arrange a romantic dinner and buy a good bouquet.

As Peter said, “Peter’s patience ran out.” He told the boss all the bad things he thought about him. Peter shouted that the boss did not appreciate him and did not respect him, that he was a miser, that he was so-and-so that he underpaid. And that he (Peter) is actually an economist with an excellent education, who came to the company to grow and develop, and not to run for coffee and bouquets.



They fought, and Petra was fired the same day. Along the way, he still had a fight with several employees before leaving. The impression of the employee completely ruined. The boss called Andrew and made the same request. Andrew was not happy, but promised to organize everything. And he did the best, and the boss and his wife had a wonderful evening after a hard day's work.

Soon, a new project that everyone worked so hard on brought rich clients to the company. Andrey was promoted, he headed the work in the new department. At first it was not easy, but he managed, set up work, helped to recruit smart workers. I started working less myself, but I was getting more money. He had a friendly relationship with the former leader. They even began to relax together.



What about Peter? He didn’t stay long in one place. And once he got a chance to get into a big company for a good position, he failed. The point is that the new leader I called Peter's old company.To find out more about him. And what he heard, he clearly didn't like it.

This is how a person, for the sake of a sense of self-worth, spoiled relations with people on whom his future depended. He didn't go through a difficult time with the company, he didn't try to understand and help, he acted selfishly and stupidly. It has been several years, and he still has not managed to get a good position, says Pavel.



Probably inability to negotiate and skirt A mistake that is often made by poor people. Although someone is sure that Peter acted correctly, that he did not tolerate the treatment that he did not like.
