Book Smart-Street Smart
 

i havent posted here in a while but i have a question for you. I had a deep conversation today with my friend-we had been just "hanging out" but we started a discussion on street smarts vs book smart-and who will get further in life. what do you think?

and also if you think thats why some people like diferent kinds of music--like booksmart people are classified as liking classical--do you think its because people can see the geniousnous of it? And some people like hip hop (like mobb deep-nas-ghost face-rza-gza-anyone from wu-tang or playa fly, goodie mobb, old school outkast). do you think its because people can relate to certain things in music andd that defines what they belive

deep stuff huh?

like people will listen to something and be like-"thats not good to me (like mobb deep"--but do you think its because they cant relate running from police and spending late nights in the ccity?

lonely aren't you?

stop talking to yourself. eek:

im giving you stff to think about

I consider myself a mix of both kind of, since i read a lot, and learn a lot from friends, and i always try to take information and save it somewhere (this might sound odd, since i didnt know how to put it in english).
But i do think that the street smart will outsmart the booksmart when it comes to creating a good base to live on, since the street smart most likely learns/learnt the usefull stuff..

true but stret samrt types pay attention to small details--same wiuth soldiers, policemen, adn firemen

Take 20 seconds to look over your post....

There's no such thing as smart there's just not being ignorant, as for types of music etc I think that's a sterotype & it's mostly down to taste.

Booksmart will get you further in life, few people will employ you because you know 'the bruddas in da hood' & booksmart will get you better respect because people can judge you by your own decisions & intellect rather than if you're wearing nike trainers or a bandanna round your head. IMHO I can't understand why people do not strive to become gentlemen rather than street rapping, ghetto plebians. mwah:

A combination of both will take you farther than any single one of them. You
should be mindful of how the world works and have solid knowledge in order
to be successful. I posit that 70% book / 30% street makes the better suited
person for our western culture.

You need both, but the man with lots of common sense will go much farther.

Booksmart people don't like classical. My brother is booksmart and he likes goth shit.
