We are all smart! We are just all smart in different ways. Some people like words, others like logic, some work well with good music, or maybe they like moving around. There are also people who find comfort in working with the natural environment, and there are those who are great with interacting with others! Some people are excellent at working with visuals, and others work best when they work alone. There are even those who just "get" things in life and know where they want to go. Which kind of smart are you?
