How to be the dumbest person in the room

Went to a breakfast gathering at our local member of parliament office walked to find out it was for all the heads of the local schools 15 to 20 principals ,deputy principals & school heads, have to say I felt very uneducated

Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that its stupid (Albert Einstein)

How would the fish even know that it had been judged? Let alone develop an inadequacy  complex about it.?:|

beacuse they may be a higher up in the education sector does not mean they are intelligent 😉 Having spent 12 years on school council one starts to wonder how some ever get to a principal status.

i used to be a school admin assistant.  as I would type up letters the principal gave me i would correct his spelling... that is when i could read his writing.  believe me not all principals are smart.

It's an anthropomorphic analogy. Does that help you understand its meaning?

Kilroy, a person's IQ has nothing whatsoever to do with their level of education.

I know highly qualified academics who can barely cross the road on their own.

I know people who didn't finish school who are assessed with a high IQ.

It is all very well to be impressed with intelligence. 

However this fades to nothing when compared to  kindness and wisdom in a person's character.

sheEl, anthropomorphic has always been one of ,my favourite words because I see it applied almost daily to human values.

You were smart enough to go to a free breakfast weren't you? 

Thanks for that word She_Ele.

I always feel dumb when I ask my junior receptionist, who could be my granddaughter, how to access certain features on my new mobile phone.

No mater how you cut it ,I may well be more worldly than some , but educated ,I don't think a high school drop out quite matches it with a room full of school heads

I bet you could run rings around them in the grand scheme of things! School doesn't educate, life educates.

High school drop out number #2 raises hand.
