People say that I am gifted but I think I am an idiot and being gifted is just a curse of higher expectations.

Gifted pertains to natural intelligence. ‘Smart’ is a general term which accounts for both your natural intellect and *how much knowledge you have*.

To be more precise, one can be a genius from birth yet know nothing so it’s fair to say they aren’t so smart.

‘Smart’ isn’t dictated by how fast you can crunch those numbers, but rather *knowing* where to apply them.

Just remember knowledge is learnt not inherited. The world didn’t make it totally unfair for us non-geniuses out there. 😉
