誰(shuí)不想變得更聰明一點(diǎn)呢，除非你覺(jué)得自己聰明絕頂無(wú)人能敵。問(wèn)答網(wǎng)站Quora上的網(wǎng)友總結(jié)了聰明人的十大標(biāo)志，來(lái)看看你能從中學(xué)到點(diǎn)什么。

Here are the signs of smart people:
下面是聰明人的10大信號(hào)：

1. They don’t talk as much as you, because they know they got smart by listening.
他們不會(huì)說(shuō)太多，因?yàn)樗麄冎蓝鄡A聽(tīng)才能變聰明。

2. They know lots of things other than what they’re specialized in. Theirs is the gift of a broad mind, constantly fed with the stimulant of being interested in what everyone else is doing.
除去專業(yè)知識(shí)之外，他們知道的很多。他們的天賦就是胸懷廣闊，總是對(duì)其他人在做的事情充滿好奇。

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.
他們可以靈活應(yīng)對(duì)家庭、工作和個(gè)人興趣，從來(lái)不會(huì)發(fā)表“平衡工作和生活”這樣的老生常談。當(dāng)他們一心多用，不知怎么的，他們看起來(lái)就是能夠全身心的投入，雖然你很清楚，其實(shí)背后他們努力走好每一步來(lái)讓生活更加完美、更加平衡。

4. They probably do social media. It is not only another chance to listen, but one they use to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise wouldn’t have come across.
他們可能也會(huì)使用社交媒體。這不僅是另一個(gè)傾聽(tīng)的窗口，也讓他們確保能夠關(guān)注到那些前所未見(jiàn)的事情。

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.
即使事情發(fā)展很糟糕，他們也會(huì)面帶微笑。聰明的人永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)生氣，因?yàn)樗麄兟斆鞯拇竽X永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)在壞事發(fā)生之前想好其他的解決方案。

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.
他們知道自己是屋子里最聰明的人，但不會(huì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間沾沾自喜。相反，他們會(huì)把這當(dāng)做對(duì)自己的挑戰(zhàn)：看他們是不是能把屋子里的其他人也變得一樣的聰明。

7. If they are managers, they will make every effort to get people smarter and more popular than them in their teams. They’re not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic.
如果他們是管理者，他們會(huì)努力讓團(tuán)隊(duì)里的人變得更聰明、更受歡迎。他們不會(huì)感到威脅，因?yàn)槁斆饔邢嗷ゴ龠M(jìn)的作用。

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.
不到必要時(shí)，他們不會(huì)展現(xiàn)出自己的隱藏技能，他們無(wú)需為了證明自己比別人厲害而去展示全部實(shí)力。

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.
他們不一定接受過(guò)昂貴的教育，除非看到他們的簡(jiǎn)歷，否則你永遠(yuǎn)都無(wú)從得知。

10. They never, ever, under any circumstances, make you look stupid, even though it would be easy to do so. They’ve learn through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is you look bad yourself.
在任何情況下，他們都絕對(duì)不會(huì)讓你出丑，哪怕這是件輕而易舉的事情。因?yàn)閺倪^(guò)去慘痛的教訓(xùn)中他們學(xué)到，讓別人出丑的唯一結(jié)果就是自己也出丑。

Now you should know who the smart people are. If you want to be the smart one, let me give you this extra advice from Steve Jobs “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
現(xiàn)在你應(yīng)該知道誰(shuí)才是聰明人了吧。如果你想變成聰明人，再送你一句喬布斯的建議：“求知若饑，虛心若愚”。
