Recently, it has become very fashionable to memorize outdated words or scientific terms, replacing them with everyday phrases. Even if you say some small-minded platitudes using these phrases, many people react as if it is something intelligent, deep, and even express admiration.
However, to appear intelligent among those who are affected not just by knowledge, but by reflection, you will have to learn to draw conclusions from the facts. Reading helps with this, and there is no specific list – any book is a series of conclusions and thoughts that can lead to some other thoughts that can already be expressed. At a minimum, say the book ideas in your own words when it comes to the moment.
Express your thoughts and argue them with examples from different areas of life(for example, from history);
Learn something using different resources and share new knowledge with your friends;
During conversations, briefly translate the topic into something that will show your erudition.
As you can see, you can't create an empty impression. You should forget about obsession altogether. For example, loud statements about erudition on the vkontakte wall will be taken for posturing, and brazen statements in the spirit of “do you know what?…” will simply not be listened to.
The bottom line is: don't shout about yourself and add to your knowledge. Good luck!
ALEXEY, there is a method that has been proven for centuries. Just keep quiet. I'm serious! Practice your “smart face” in the mirror and keep quiet when others are talking. And nod, not often, but from time to time. Let people “tell you everything” themselves, ask short questions quietly and insinuatingly, listen and nod, you can add “yes-yes”. I guarantee that in 3-4 months you will be considered both smart and erudite, because you will allow people to invest their projections in you “in terms of erudition and intelligence”. Cheslovo, check it out!
If a person is intelligent and erudite, then they don't need to make an impression. You can't hide your mind even if you don't say anything.�
If bozhenka has deprived the gray matter, then there is a universal remedy-just keep quiet. Believe me, this is better than opening your mouth and voicing outdated words or scientific terms.
