The state of Dumbness.
We know there are dumb people in the world, that is never going to change, but what we don’t know is that the number of dumb people in the world is higher than we think. See it this way, the dumb man or woman doesn’t know that he is dumb, it takes a sharp intrusion of the common sense embedded in the cosmic sphere to get any one to come to the realization of dumbness. It also takes a further zeal and power of the person in question to come out of the alleys of dumbness and get over being dumb. Dumbness is in the street, on the side walk, on the television, being watched on television, being practiced as a way of life in some places around the world and maybe , just maybe, it’s just around the corner in between your ears and mine. If you think the sole purpose of this article is to let you know that you are as dumb as a door knob, you may be correct. If you also think the purpose of this article is to let you embrace your state of dumbness, you may also be correct. If you believe however that this article would help you deal with your state of intense dumbness, so you can get over it. You are correct!
I KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING
Have you ever heard this statement? Chances are, you have and most people who have said it , didn’t know what exactly they were saying. Being in a state of conflict and argument over everything is a great sign of being in a state of dumbness. Every response to your Facebook post , every YouTube comment that doesn’t go your way must be argued out until you let the other dummy know that you know what you are saying and eventually drown them in the pool of their own ignorance. Fact is, smart people don’t do that, their words are few, well thought of , well articulated, they don’t respond to every lousy exercise of the buccal cavity, they are not superficial, they are not dumb. Energy wasted on debates and arguments would be better channeled in youth development. The inability to listen when others speak or taking over a conversation all the time to drive it in your direction is also a surefire way of being not only dumb but being loud about it.
SEE THE PAIN YOU CAUSED ME, IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT.
Words like this are bound be spoken by someone in a chronic state of dumbness. When people show you who they are , believe them. When you really see people for who they are as against who you think they should be, you would be doing yourself a lot of favour. Nobody would be able to cause you any harm if you have not in one way or the other permitted or encouraged it. The only problem here is , it takes a smart person to know and put that into practice.
NOBODY IS PERFECT
No!, dumb dumb, some people can do no wrong, not because they are perfect, but because they are smart enough not only to leverage on their strengths but also to effectively manage their weaknesses. When nobody is perfect becomes your sing-song and defense, you are in a state of dumbness. On the path to youth development lies excellence, Excellence is a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards. Studies have shown that the most important way to achieve excellence is to practice .Excellence looks like perfection.
BOOKS ARE FOR NERDS
Books are for nerds and nerds rule the world. Books with deep, thought provoking and youth development enhancing content as against some mediocre fictional piece are what are actually refereed to as books . You are a product of the books you read or don’t. The universe would not reveal everything you need to know to you in a dream or a lightning flash, you would have to commit to finding it yourself among piles of books

If it really does, then clocks would have been made in the shape of birds or airplanes. If you are stationary and something is moving away from you, there is a very high probability to overestimate it’s speed. Time management is something smart people know how to do well. If you always end up doing less than half of what you planned to do in a day, then you lack time management in both planning and execution, and you are dumb enough to think time is flying away from you.
SUCCESS
This is the greatest indication of dumbness. Being a failure is as a result of being in a constant state of dumbness. Smart people are usually able to leverage on their strengths, skills, knowledge, opportunities to give themselves somewhat of a success in their life. So if you still at the stage of wishful thinking and you are still trying to make a point to the world about how smart you are, hear it here first, Robert Heinlein was probably talking about you when he said, "never underestimate the power of human stupidity". Never Underestimate Your Dumbness
