to me, a truly smart and nice person is someone who......

- of course achieve excellent results but still stay humble and keep on improving themselves
- don brag about how smart they are
- don meddle too much in others' affairs
- is willing to accept defeat
- listens to others' opinions & let them speak
- doesn't think he/she is always correct
- doesn't say everything he/she sees even tho it may be the unpleasant sides of ppl
(knows but kept in their heart)
- keeps their comments by themselves as not to hurt or cause bad feelings to others
- knows when & not to say certain things
- is polite
- don ask for credits for everything he/she does
- does not always try so much to help others with what they've learned
(for the sake of letting ppl know how much knowledge u've got up ur brainie)
- helps others when they met difficulties in concepts/qns when others ask
(simply decide to become a lifelong learner and let go of any need to share or push what you have learned with others. Learning is plenty. You don't need to share it. Really.)

&lastly, is someone who THINKS BEFORE HE/SHE TALKS.

although people are not perfect.

The problem with smart people is that they like to be right and sometimes will defend ideas to the death rather than admit they're wrong. This is bad. Worse, if they got away with it when they were young (say, because they were smarter than their parents, their friends, and their parent's friends) they've probably built an ego around being right, and will therefore defend their perfect record of invented righteousness to the death.
Smart people often fall into the trap of preferring to be right even if it's based in delusion, or results in them, or their loved ones, becoming miserable. (Somewhere in your town there is a row of graves at the cemetery, called smartypants lane, filled with people who were buried at poorly attended funerals, whose headstones say “Well, at least I was right.”)
