How to avoid the bad habit of being too smart

First of all, you must understand what being smart is.

To be smart means to think you are smart and make decisions. Refers to overestimating oneself and acting subjectively.

If you feel that you often act smart, and hope to overcome it. I think it should be like this:

1. When doing things, you must "think twice before you act."

2. When considering a problem, you should look at the overall situation, proceed from the overall situation, and try to take care of all aspects.

3. Don’t “take it for granted” when doing things. Think that what you think will be what others will think. Consider issues from the perspective of other stakeholders.

4. In addition to the above formal aspects, you should read more to expand your knowledge and increase your knowledge.

Being smart is a mental state. I think you should play more chess. In Chinese chess and Go, playing more with others can reduce your own mentality.

PS: I don’t think that “really smart people tend to hide their capabilities and bide their time”. Really smart people are, according to the situation, public when they should be public, and secretive when they should be secretive. When it comes time to show off your talents, a smart person will never be too self-conscious
