There are three things that will get you ahead in life:good looks,smarts,and being considered as being smart.　1　 And unluckily most of us are not good-looking.Let’s explore some different ways to become smarter. 

　　2　 College doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be smarter,just educated.It means you’ll be exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you’ll learn how to think.Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess. 

　　Read books and educational magazines.　3　 Educational magazines are a wealth of knowledge you can share with others,thus making you sound very smart.If you do watch television,try watching something where you can learn. 

　　Expand your vocabulary.Try to learn one new word a week.It doesn’t seem like much,but adding 52 new words to your vocabulary will really make you appear much smarter.Subscribing(订阅)to vocabulary.com is a good start.　4　 This way you’re actually getting 365 words a year,but that is usually more than most people can absorb. 

　　Don’t repeat everything people tell you until you know that it’s true.　5　 They hear a strange claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear.You can do much harm to your seek for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.
