The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook. ~ William James

 

The first thing that came to my mind when i read this quote was that if yor smart you will overlook everyones faults. You wont concentrate on them you will look past them and see the person for what good they do have in them. And you also have to ignore the very simple things in life that really dont matter. Like what other people think about you or when certain teams for sports lose. So when you dont let the worthless things bother you, you will not only live a carefeel life but also a (wise) smart life.
