Smartness means,: Marked by acuteness or shrewdness; quick in suggestion or reply; vivacious; witty; as, a smart reply; a smart saying.

I think it's a person's inborn nature. To a certain extend, smartness can be developed by self development. But only those who are born active & shrewd & witty can make themselves smart.

Whom do you consider smart? I think that has to be first question you need to answer then questioning why some people are so smart. In a society, family or even in a nation, some persons are born with extra skills and talents and it is god-gifted by nature. It becomes impossible to surpass them as they carry an infinite aptitude that can’t be challenged. It makes us feel great or special about them and so we feel that some people are very smart. Some persons are good-looking, some are intelligent and some persons are born lucky and posses great wealth by birth. Such persons always prove to be connoisseurs of the society and others follow them for their great skill and unchallenged luck.

In my opinion, more than anything else, 'Smartness' comes from within, I mean the good self-esteem. People with great self-esteem often be so smart. Good self-esteem is important because it helps you to hold your head high and feel proud of yourself and what you can do. It gives you the courage to try new things and the power to believe in yourself. It lets you respect yourself, even when you make mistakes. And when you respect yourself, adults and other kids usually respect you, too. Having good self-esteem is also the ticket to making good choices about your mind and body. If you have good self-esteem, you know that you're smart enough to make your own decisions. You value your safety, your feelings, your health - your whole self and you're smart none the less, credits to great self-esteem!

Some are gifted with good genes, and with natural talent, others are of average intelligence, yet have to work hard to be smart, though some have little intelligence and don't use it at all, it seems.

It is also noteworthy that true geniuses are very stupid in certain areas, for though einstein was amazing with math and science, he could not tie his shoes or operate a cash register.

From the very beginning you are being told to compare with others. This is the greatest disease; it is like a cancer that goes on destroying your very soul. Because each individual is unique, and comparison is not possible. I am just myself and you are just yourself. There is nobody else in this world you can be compared with.

Smart comes from two things. One it is hereditary..meaning in the genes. Generally it can be seen that children of smart parents are smart.

Second reason for smartness can be attributed to family culture & environment, upbringing, friends, society where one is born and brought up. teachers & elder persons as well as our own experiences in life. All these factors combine together to form a smart individual.

To be smart one just can not do with good clothing and wearing perfume and speaking sweetly. What one needs is the confident to face any person or a situation and tackle them accordingly.
