There are no “easy ways” to get smart. Being smart takes a lot of effort to get there, unless people are what they call “intelligent”.

Book smart … go back to school, get a college degree.

World smart … involve yourself in politics, and the latest happenings. Be aware of what is going on around you.

Life smart … learn from other people’s mistakes. Know what you want, and see how others have gotten it and try not to walk into the same trap like the others did who ended up being nothing. If you set out on a mission and quit it cuz something “unexpected” happened, then it’s not “god’s will”, it’s called being dumb.

P.S. college is a good brain exerciser. =)

Reading and watching educational programs is the best way to get started. Many people learn best by putting their learning into practical application or at least by discussing what they know and having their ideas challenged by others. That is one good reason to go to college so that your ideas can grow, making you smarter and more ready to think. A lot of people say those Sudoku puzzles are really good for keeping the brain sharp but I never had the patience for that sort of thing. Learning a foreign language also really challenges the brain and changes the way you look at your other studies. I never was good at writing papers in English class until I had to learn to write them in French as well. A foreign language is also useful in traveling around the world which can offer you a type of practical experience and information you could never gather in a classroom.

GO to College or uni and read some books.

You will feel a better person and more well rounded.

If you don’t God help you.

I don’t mean that disrespectfully but it will enlighten you and help you in every step of your life.

You will feel more secure in yourself.World smart or any other smart brings you no respect from anyone, sorry to say.

Not even being fashionable or street smart.

It only brings a head fool of nonsense and clothes you will not wear in 5 years or so and a photo shown in ten years you will say ‘cheese’ cringe.

Reading and education is essential to being “wordly and book smart.” Don’t limit yourself to non-fictional books, but read some fictional as well.

Involve yourself in many clubs with different specialty interests and make sure to meet people from different backgrounds. Try any kind of food and travel!

Don’t ask stupid questions on Yahoo! Answers. It won’t make you smarter, but you won’t appear as stupid.

Go to school.
