Facinating Thoughts

Learn How To Be Stupid March 21, 2011

I want to be stupider. Seriously I’m working out everyday in order to be dumber. I’m tired of thinking smart, talking smart, and looking smart, for I need that much dose of stupidity to get anything done.

It used to be that there were few smart people around. Those days people lined up outside post office to ask a couple of smart guys to write letters. If you knew enough to be a professor, the salary you commanded would make today’s top managers envy. As of rest of the mass, they were pretty dumb and minded their meager businesses all their life, stupidly and uncomplainingly.

How much different today’s world has become! If you showed up to any gatherings of people lately, you’d know how many smart people are out there. Everyone looks educated and full of ideas. Everyone is bright looking and talk intelligently about far away countries and new technologies. You feel brighter too. Armed with decades of education as well as all the Internet can offer, you are two hands full of brilliant ideas and action plans.

Yet hardly anyone ever gets anything done anymore.

I’m especially full of ideas and feel very smart of myself. Years ago I invented earring-necklace cellphone, stylish jewelery phone that would surly be favored by women, during my lunch break. I talked about it enthusiastically for half an hour. And fashionable women all around the world today would surly love to possess a dozen or more of these beautiful jewelery phones as part of their treasured collections. I could have been a billionaire because of this tidy idea. Unfortunately by the time the lunch break was over, my contribution to this neat invention ended too. Years later I still thought about it from time to time. BUT I’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

A smart person could be blessed with a different idea everyday. All of them are brilliant.  All are worth pursuing. Each one is better than the idea of previous day. Yet non of ideas is given more than one day’s of attention. Nothing gets done.

A stupid person hardly has any ideas. Even they are lucky to get one, the idea is usually not that fantastic. However being stupid, the dumber knows nothing else but to do something about the only idea he ever got. Years later, the not-so-brilliant idea becomes something real, the stupid person collects his billions.

Twitter is a stupid idea. Who wants to be limited to 140 characters?
