We all consider ourselves to be smart. But the question is “What makes you smarter than others?” Is it your wit, intelligence, sense of humor, beauty or some other secret quality that you still don’t know about? Let’s take a look at the top 5 ways that can make you smarter than others.

1. Have fine manners

The best of intelligence is of no use unless a person has fine manners. You may have the brains to win a Nobel Prize but if you can’t be kind to your friend or show respect to an elderly person, it’s of no use. What makes you smarter than others is that you have the ability to win someone’s heart by your behavior.

2. Learn to say the right thing at the right time

This is more than simply brushing up your communication skills. Knowing interesting quotes, anecdotes, incidents, jokes and telling them at the right point in a conversation is what makes you smarter. By doing this, you will get immediately noticed by others.

3. Network wisely

Have you thought about this simple thing that can make you look smarter than others? If you network and connect with the right kind of people and if you’re seen at the right kind of places with them, others are obviously going to think that you’re a smart person who has made it big in life.

4. Get maximum exposure to the world

Reading, watching television and films, indulging in sports, traveling, making new friends and learning about new cultures is what makes you a smarter person than what you already are. Rich life experiences and diverse perspectives always reflect in the communication and behavior of smart people.

5. Read between the lines

Everyone can understand the words that are verbally presented. But what makes you smarter than the rest? When you understand something that the opposite person has not said, that’s when you can be called smart. A smart person will always observe and understand body language, facial expressions, energy vibes and will read between the lines before making a judgment.
