“There are three kinds of people- dumb, smart, and super-smart. And you can’t tell the super-smart from the dumb. My philosophy behind the saying has many applications, not only in business but in life. In a competitive, political working situation, a thin-skinned person will always have a hard time making it. I call that person smart. The smart are easy to identify; they’re defensive- their egos are bruised easily. They seek the credit for everything they do and need approval from others. If something is said that they understand to be insulting to them, they take great offense. The other two kinds react differently. The super-smart don’t care and the dumb don’t know.” -Berry Gordy
