Mikhail BulgakovWhy do smart people exist, if not to figure out convoluted problems?
About This Quote
Most people love to learn and enjoy puzzle solving. When we’re faced with a problem, we want to solve it as soon as possible. We want to know how something works and how it will affect us, and we want to understand why something is the way it is. The truth is that there are a lot of smart people out there who work much harder than us, yet they still find the time to do the things they love to do.
They make time for family, friends, and hobbies. They dedicate their time to figuring out complex problems. They make the world a better place by thinking outside the box and coming up with innovative solutions.
Why? Because they enjoy thinking, and because they want to make life easier for the rest of us.
