which is better, a rich person with no brain or a smart person with no money?

Obviously the smart one with no money isn't starving and survives. The rich one with no smarts must not have had to work for his money and probably can buy anything (anyone) he wants. So if you want to be happy and are strong enough, choose the poor smart one. If you don't care if you find love and are weak, choose the rich one.\nMy choice would be to be strong.

That's a hard question--one is a multi-millionaire who "earned" his money by marriage, lies about the American military and puts his foot in his mouth constantly---the other is a multi-billionaire who "earned" his money by inheritance, lies about the American military and forgets that he left a young girl to drown. toss-up.

The rich people become richer and not the poor, due to rich people's rich luck and Poor people's poor luck. Rich people are born with silver spoon (rather gold spoon) in their mouth, while the poor people are born with empty stomaches of their parents. The rich boy gets a fully established system of his fore-fathers, through which he is able to multiply his waelth. While on the other hand a poor man has to put hard labour on day-to-day basis even to earn his daily bread and butter.\n\nHowever, it is an intelligent question that 'what a poor must do to become rich?' The followings are a must to achieve if a poor man wants to be rich:\n\n(1) Must put sufficient labour to get adequate education somehow or the other;\n(2) Must select some professional or technical/electronic course than to seek a routine type job;\n(3) If he is poor and not able to afford course fee, he must do tuition work even up to his/her own standard. This, besides providing adequate funds for education, also give perfection in learning his/her own course material. No extra revision would be needed for the purpose of examination;\n(4) After acquiring professionalism, try some job even on apprenticeship basis to attain some practical experience. This can be done even during the education period, as theory would be perfected with the practice;\n(5) Don't hesitate to learn even from an illiterate but experience person;\n(6) If you are unable to set up your own business, try to get some good jon. After getting job, devote wholeheartedly to reform the system with the approval of your superiors. You will be able to get early promotions for your positive contribution;\n(7) You should not stick to your old job, must try to change your job with better prospects after every at least 2 years. This provides you more and more opportunities.\n\nHope, you would like some of my suggestions?

I would rather be really smart...\n\nSmart enough to have people THINK I'm really stupid!  \n\nCheers!

Simple answer:\n\nA smart person is someone with head knowledge about topics, events, facts, and figures. But they could be dumb as a skunk when it comes to using that knowledge in the most simplest obvious ways. \n\nA wise person, simply put, is someone who has learned from experience and has had many mistakes and learned from them. \n\nIn a very real sense a wise person could be smarter than a smart person.\n\nThink of it like this. A smart person would be book smart. Whereas a wise person has common sense. \n\nhope this helps.

There are many brilliant people with little or no money.  Often being smart doesn't translate into the ability to earn a great deal of money.   \n\nI'm not sure what I could contribute if I was the smartest person .. cure for cancer?  peace in the middle east? or just the next best video game? \n\nIf I was the richest person in the world, then I could use my wealth to hire the smartest person in the world, and the next 100 smartest, too .. then fund cancer research,  donate to 'make a wish', provide good drinking water, food and vaccinations to the world's poorest countries, and so on.\n\nI guess that I would prefer to be the richest, then.

You can't compare two people who is more intelligent unless both have the same knowledge.

I'd rather have a poor President who was wise that a rich but dumb one.

Yes. Man had to have intelligence first before there could be literacy. \n\nIntelligence is having a high degree of mental capacity and expressing good judgment and sound thought. \n\nIlliteracy simply means having little or no education, being unable to read or write.\n\nThere are many ways one can learn in addition to reading and writing, therefore I believe a person can be capable of intelligent conversation and abstract thinking without having had an education.

the silent. because even if he is dumb, he would be mistaken to be smart or wise.

a rich person can be a drug addict and it won't have any detrimental effect economically. a similar addiction in a poorer person can have a devistating effect on him/her and family

They equate money with intelligence. Since there are fewer people who have very high incomes than there are low-to-medium income people, they assume that the majority people are stupid...and will believe anything.\n\nI've met some very intelligent people at the homeless shelter...and seen some incredibly stupid ones living in mansions...e.g. Ted Kennedy...John Edwards...John Kerry...etc. They're completely out of touch with the real world.

Actually, its harder to be dumb and easier to be smart because you are constantly learning.  A person with knowledge is a person w/ power.  And a smart person would have to work really hard to be dumb because it tends to show in their personality and the way they hold themselves.
