who would be MORE successful...STREET SMART or BOOK SMART? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers4 months ago

I have watched the 3rd season of Donald Trump's THE APPRETICE and the candidates were divided into two groups as I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE... Street smart were people who managed to climb up the ladder of success though wasn't able to finish their education while the other group called Book Smart was able to finish and most of them even graduated with honors. Between the two... WHO DO YOU THINK would be more successful in the business world and even in the real life? AND WHY DO YOU THINK SO?

I am kind of confused actually?!confusedbut LET US DECIDE like what Mr. Trump did!thumbup

Hi Jhordie, I think street smart will be more successful than book smart. I don't know why but I have the feeling that this kind of stories favored the under dog team. If I'm not mistaken it happen also in real life.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

YES... many STREET SMART manages to be greater than the achievements of some BOOK SMART! but there are some BOOK SMART greater than STREET SAMRT as well. And I can't disagree with you... but don't you think BOOK SMART has the edge because of the education they've got from school?


myLot reputation of 92/100. oliverdt (687)   ranked 1,836 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Yes ofcourse they have, but its up to them to succeed because I believe book smart is very serious people and if they fail sometimes they go crazy because they cannot handle such problems. Unlike street smart they can take good care of themselves and they just lough for the problem they encountered and find solutions for it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Indeed... I understand where you are coming from. Thanks

Hello bro! I don't actually do not know the series but I think a mixture of both would make the most successful person. Come to think of it, he/she would be smart, brave, and one with personality and a conviction. Hope that Mr. Trump made another group that did both. Hehe. Good day.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Bro. Mr. trump hired somebody with the characteristic of only one of those two with a VERY NICE REASON... if you are to hire JUST ONE... which is it? or who will that be? and why?


myLot reputation of 98/100. selece (544)   ranked 39 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Ok Ok... I think it would be... Booksmart... Hehe. Since nowadays, intelligence and a good knowledge in the modern world is needed to survive. happy

Hello my friend Jhordie Ji, without doubt, I would amke choicewith BOOK-SMART, as they reached top and did honors in their subjects. But how do you rate Mr bill gate Ji, who recently laid down his office, after successful career with Big Empire, without much book-knowledge. That means, there are charcters, who can voilate rules as well, so I may go with them, as there is a adventure hidden in tehir progress. Food with spices. have a great day. rasp


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

so you choose BOOK SMART right? just some clarification... Thanks


myLot reputation of 97/100. shalu1975 (1192)   ranked 451 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Hello jhordie Ji,
What is the clearification like. I think book-smart would fair better than sreet-smart and they would prove to be the best, barring Bill gate like charcters. have a great day. rasp


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

2 for the BOOKSMARTS! Thanks

i think it depends on the situation you are in to. but if i have to choose 1 it will be street smart, since theory sometimes is different when you apply it in real life


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Nice answer... REALLY NICE ANSWER... thanks it can help for sure

street smart can do better because he is able to innovate, can think of ways on his own


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

2:3 in favor of street smart... but can't book smart be able to think on their own also? just an inquiry

Hi Jhordie,

I reckon the Street Smart group will win in all departments. How many times have we all heard the stories of normal, everyday people, make a resounding success of their lives.

Indeed, Sir Alan Sugar (Amstrad), the head of the English version of The Apprentice, came from a humble background and he is one of the most successful business people around.

The other thing which I reckon on is this:- when people come from humble backgrounds, they are invariably much more sincere, honest and warm, and I think this shows through - especially in business. I realise that this paragraph is likely to upset the silver spoon mob, but frankly, I don't care ... the truth hurts!


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Thanks for the wonderful answer and an enlightment somehow to my all fogged-up mind. now its 2 vs 4 on STREET SMARTS favor.

Dear friend,
I do have heard that the practical experience is much better than theoritical knowledge. Actually when theory is implemented it becomes practical. Hence I feel those who have practical knowledge might be better than those with theorytical knowledge. Anyhow it also depends were there are to utilised or implemented. Book smart may be smart to give his knowledge to others were has street smart my do it for others. Anyhow both do have their own part but the real test comes when the job or target is ahcieved with better output. lol

but what would be your choice if you need to ghive ONLY 1... please

I think today you need both to really survive and be successful but if I had to choose only one, I would recommend book smarts because no matter what anyone else says education is extremely important regarding success.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Likewise... thats why I keep on studying and studying. thanks for making it 3:4 in favor of street smarts

I think that this is a difficult one as one said before. But If I had to pick just one I would say street smart. You could know everything and be book smark but if you are unable to apply what you have learned in the book out in the streets then you will never make it. But, in my own opinion I think everyone needs a little of both to make it through life and be sucessful.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Jhordie (929)   ranked 45 out of 9,160 in questions & answers  4 months ago

3 vs 5... now street smart are so fast moving up! Just a contrary to what you have said... isn't street smart lacks some knowledge that could better help them to rise another level?
