1.他们说的话没有你多，因为他们明白倾听是明智之举。
They know lots of things other than what they’re specialised in. Theirs is the gift of a broad mind, constantly fed with the stimulant of being interested in what everyone else is doing.

2.除了本身擅长的东西外，他们懂的还有很多。广阔的眼界是他们的禀赋，与之相随的还有对他人所做之事抱以的浓厚兴趣。
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.

3.他们灵活地游刃于家庭、生活和个人兴趣之间，绝不会依靠老调的“工作生活平衡”一说。在兼顾三者的同时，他们会百分百地投入到所处事情上，协调好各个方面，即使你知道表象的背后是一步步精心的安排，他们还是会保证生活处于完美和谐的平衡。
They probably do social media. Not always, but probably. It is not only another chance to listen, but one they use to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise won’t have come across.

4.他们也许会使用社交媒体。时间少，但却会。这不但是另一种倾听的方式，还能保证用他们无法接触到的事物来补充大脑的营养。
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.

5.即使事情已经到了崩溃边缘，他们还是会保持乐观。聪明人从不会被难倒，机智的头脑在灾难来临前会给他们想出退路。
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.

6.虽然他们知道自己是一群人中最聪明的，但也不会把时间浪费在沾沾自喜上。相反，他们会挑战自己，看能否将别人也变得一样聪明。
If they are managers, they will make every effort to get people smarter, more connected and more popular than them in their teams. They’re not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic. They also make sure that their smart people get to look smarter than them for the same reason.

7.如果他们是管理者，他们会使出浑身解数让团队中的人变得更聪明，更团结，更受欢迎。他们不会威慑别人，因为他们知道和谐才是妙招。他们也相信聪明的人会因相同的原因变得愈加智慧。
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.

8.不到需要之时，他们不会把隐藏的才华展露出来。他们根本就不需要施展浑身才能来证明自己的出众之处。
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.

9.他们或许有亦或许没有接受过昂贵的教育。单是凭相处的直觉你无法得知，除非你亲眼看见他们的简历。
They never, ever, under any circumstances, make you look stupid, even though it would be easy to do so. They’ve learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is you look bad yourself.

10.无论在任何情况，他们都绝对不会让你难堪，虽然那很简单。因为过往艰苦的经历告诉他们，让别人丢脸的唯一结果就是自己也会丢脸。
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.”

现在你应该知道谁是真正聪明的人了。如果你想成为其中一员，让我再给你一条来自史蒂夫.乔布斯的建议“求知若饥，虚心若愚。”

如果你觉得你是聪明人，那么就留下你的十五字……
