It is very rare that I mean really smart people. By smart, I do not mean getting good grades at school. What I mean is that someone whose thinking is wise beyond his years, who is innovative and dynamic, who could carry out an intelligent conversation.
The other day, I met someone like that and I was surprised that he is only 24 years old but he is visionary and runs his own companies for a few years already.
After meeting him, I told a friend of mine what a great guy this person is but my friend also had dealings with him before although he does not know him personally. And you know, my friend told me stuff about this young man that is not so good and I do trust my friend more than I trust this guy, of course, so I believe him.
This made me recall an incident quite a few years ago where I met a smart young man however, the way he managed his company was so bad, bordering on CON that I gave him a piece of my mine. However, I also advised him that he is very talented but make use of the talent doing something constructive.
You know, if he is talented but misuses his talent and then end up going to jail for it, then what would become of him? He won't even have a future, right? After that, our friendship strained and I did not want to keep in contact with him anymore. I wonder what has happened to him. Just now as I was writing this, I Googled his name and nothing recent came up. There was only one result that showed up, an achieved post in a forum years ago.
So, be smart but not over do it!
