Our success is 70% dependent on our environment. That is why it is important to carefully look closely to the people who are close to you. If among friends "Plant" fools, you can discreetly and with time itself to become so. Even Shakespeare warned that stupidity is like a contagious disease, so you should more carefully choose their environment.
Many of your friends may have several higher educations, easy to solve logical problems, to quote great men, but stay foolish life. And all would do if it concerned only themselves. But, unfortunately, in some way they affect the others, quietly sucking them into its quagmire. How not to fall for the bait of human stupidity and advance review such people should be avoided.
Herd mentality. Some individuals need only hear flashed on the Internet rumor about endangered children or impending cataclysm, they immediately rush disseminate unverified information on all social networks, and their friends, as in those moments they completely disconnected logic and common meaning. It is from these people, you will periodically receive "chain letters", because they genuinely believe that if they are not send time of ten friends, or they will never get his happiness, or precisely because of this come to an end Sveta.
To defend to win a point. Many people may themselves hoarse arguing with an opponent, without deviating an inch from his opinion - it only confirms the quality inherent fool. Smart as a person is not important. His dignity will not be affected, if someone does not agree with his opinion. But for the foolish it would be a serious blow to the ego. And the thing is that stupid people are not able to address the issues from different angles and from different perspectives. They are there only two options - to their opinion and misjudgment.
No sense of humor. Missing a person a sense of humor is not at all in some distinctive indication. The impossibility of perception healthy humor confirms only the fact of immaturity of the mind. You can conduct an experiment and tell the other party is really a funny anecdote. The reaction that followed the reading, to say for itself. Fools is not given to draw the boundaries between truth and sarcasm, well, even more so they do not tend to read "between the lines" - do not waste their time. Such a reaction is not a temporary phenomenon in fools - it remains a chronic the end of life.
The lack of ability to build a dialogue. Here we are not talking about the shy and self-contained people. The point of those who can not listen to others. Such people often interrupt the interlocutor. Themselves, ask questions, they are not able to listen to the end of the answer. They constantly interrupt and eventually built a monologue, where the main party takes a fool, and a smart man only politely listening to him, based on mutual respect for the law.
Overconfidence. Smart people often question the ideal of their appearance, their talents, the right choice in their abilities, so try to improve every day. Fools is so self-confident that they consider themselves, and are so much smarter than the rest.
Demonstrative courage or chronic cowardice. Anyone who does not do anything for fear of losing - stupid. Such a person is better to sit at the very least in the warmth and comfort, than to try to do at least one plunge into life and, even if they lose sometimes, you just take it as a valuable experience.
There is another category of fools - the exact opposite of this. People who are constantly rushing into battle and each time losing everything. These people include the gamblers, too fond of the casino, betting, games. If these hobbies fill a basic human living space, it means that it's incredibly stupid.
The absence of the "golden mean." For fools only two extreme points exist in all situations - "yes" or "no" stupid and smart, rich and poor, black and white. They are always very straightforward and are not able to understand people, but still consider themselves to be, of course, the most intelligent.
