One of my favorite quotes of all time is the one from the movie The Help: “The world could be a very good place if everyone were just a little bit more self-aware.” It’s a great reminder that we have a lot to be thankful for, and it shows that we are each a bit of an individual. Being aware of your own self-awareness leads to a whole lot more awareness and awareness of others.
In many ways, being aware of your own self-awareness is like being aware of your own intelligence. The difference between someone who is aware of themselves and someone who is aware of others is one of the most powerful aspects of self-awareness. Being a bit more self-aware also leads to being a bit more aware of others. That’s not to say that being aware of others is bad. It can be incredibly useful.
When you are aware of your own self, you have the ability to be self-aware of others. And when you are aware of others, you have the ability to be more self-aware. To be more aware of others is to be more aware of yourself. To be more self-aware is to be more aware of yourself.
Being aware of yourself is obviously something quite self-aware of others, so I think this is a pretty important point. Self-awareness is a huge part of self-awareness, not just of self, but also of others. We all look at others and see ourselves in them. We see ourselves in others, and we see what we look like in them.
It’s like the difference between a person with an IQ of 140 and a person with an IQ of 50. A person with an IQ of 140 has an IQ about 140. A person with an IQ of 50 has an IQ about 50. Most people’s IQs are somewhere between 140 and 150.
Self-awareness is one of those things that can be easily confused with being “smart.” This is because the two aren’t actually as different as they may seem. “Smart” people tend to have a large IQ, but a “smart” person doesn’t actually mean they are very smart. This is why the phrase “smart guy” is used liberally in most social contexts.
Self-awareness, like intelligence, is the ability to notice yourself in the moment. Self-awareness also means to be aware of how you react to the world. You don’t have to have a high IQ to be aware of yourself, but a lot of people do have a high IQ, and are often quite intelligent. But being aware of your reactions is not the same thing as having high IQs.
Smart people can also be a little bit arrogant. This is an important distinction that I think is often overlooked. The phrase smart guy is used in different ways, in fact. Smart guy is used when you are not aware of the social context of the phrase. This is the case when you are talking about a man who is intelligent but being very arrogant. Smart guy means that you are aware of the social context of the phrase, and are aware of how others will react to your behavior.
My father was a smart guy. He was a very clever scientist, but he was also incredibly blunt. I am not sure that there is any way to be a smart guy in a society where people are not aware of your intelligence. I think that being a smart guy is a very complex issue. Just as a man is a complex combination of everything that makes up a person, I do not think that a smart guy is just a guy who has high intelligence.
My father was a very good man in a good way. He was always happy to help me, and he was always very nice. He did not have the “smart guy” mindset. So I am very respectful of his position as a man in a society that does not value his intelligence or wisdom, so I do not get upset when he is unkind to me.
