Don't try to be clever! "If you want to live a happy life, attach it to a goal and don't let anyone or anything drag you off track," stated Rogers. We will address the necessity of sticking to ideas and goals in our lives in this book, as well as why it is necessary not to be too smart for our own good. We can become engrossed in our own thoughts and lose sight of what actually important in our lives if we are too smart for our own good. Principles and goals provide us with a tangible goal to strive for; they offer us direction and keep us on track when everything else seems out of reach. The phrase ‘Don’t be smart’ is probably one of the most commonly used phrases in our daily lives. It is very similar to ‘don’t try to be clever’ or ‘don’t try to be too wise thinking success can come without working for it or it can come by mistake’. The phrase basically means that we should not try to be clever or that we should not put off principles and rules that the world adheres to, hoping to have success that depends on those principles. In short, it is a warning against trying to cut corners in other to gain success that depends on some basic principles.
