Not that smart

I have never been a Mensa-level intellect, but I've always been a smarter-than-average guy.

Being smart is what allowed me to stay in the game of life with people who were better-looking than me, from better families than me, had better personalities than me or had more money than me.

In the end, though, it was never enough.

Occasionally something comes along to remind me that although I'm smart, I'm not that smart. Lots of people are smarter than me... and I found who some of them are today.

I'm not smart enough to be a success, and not dumb enough to be oblivious to my failure.
