You know the hardest thing about being smart?
I always pretty much know what's gonna happen next.
There's no suspense.
Things are falling
the way I predicted
and yet a surprise
found its way to me
Smart I may be
but even I
cannot predict
the winds of fate.

Italicised is dialogue from the movie "Bandits"

do you really think that it happens because of being smart?...I don't think that if one can predict something because he/she is smart, it's up to some other resources, such as intuition, I believe. Curious, what you think of this.
BTW,I like the piece:)

Thank you!

I think part of it is definitely knowing the likely outcomes of actions, and that comes with street smarts. Intuition also helps :)
