Can you solve “1 + 1 = x”? Mr. Intelligent : Sure, why not? It’s 2. Piece of cake. I have a hundred ways to prove it to you. Let me show you all of them. *starts writing and drawing on the board* Mr. Clever: It’s 2. If you want to understand why, I’ll gladly bring you to my friend, Mr. Intelligent. He’ll prove it to you using a hundred ways. Mr. Wise: He understands that he has no need to solve this question (according to his personal situation) and simply moves on. An intelligent person utilizes his mental capacity to solve problems. A clever person uses resources around him to solve problems. A wise person picks the right problem according to his personal situation. You can have a combination of these qualities.
