Are Greeks the smartest people in the World?
There is a tendency of Greeks to honor themselves without being asked. This in itself is not necessarily bad; but you have to wonder about the person who always has a need to tell you how smart, great etc he is or his country is. Generally, superior intellect, ability, or the like speaks for itself and does not need to be tooted like some note on a horn. There are certain countries around the globe which prove again and again their citizens make a difference. Whether that is due to their intellect or their kindheartedness we can't say. Both are equally important. I have found Greeks as smart as other world citizens, albeit a bit consumed by conspiracy theories.
Why is it that some people hate about Drew Brees?
I am not a Saints fan, I am a Vikings fan, but I can tell you that I am not one who displays traits of jealousy when watching sports. I appreciate the efforts of a good team or great player. Drew Brees having left San Diego in free agency, probably has developed many haters their... just as you are starting to see from green Bay fans and Favre. Bree's lives in the Garden distric downtown New orleans, is very active in teh community there, contributes to many charities, works tirelessly after practice is over. he motivates his teammates to work harder... he propels their emotions at the beginning of games with a Marine Coprs chant he learned from a physical training instructor in the Marines... he does everything to affect those around him in a positive manner. And like Peyton manning he is a great field general with good vision on the field... so I really can't see any reason someone could hate such a human being other than jealousy..... just my humble opinion.
What is the difference between being modest and being humble?
When one is modest, they have a moderate view of their own abilities. That is, they are not necessarily undervaluing themselves, but they would never overvalue.A person is modest when they do not boast or brag and when they tend to downplay their own abilities.When one is humble, they have a low view of their own abilities. They will always view themselves as weak in that area, even if they are not.A person is humble when they show deference and a willingness to submit to others. Accepting a Compliment with HumilityPeter: Max, everyone has been telling me how much they like working for you on this project.Max: Nah, I’m a tyrant, they’re all just afraid to say so.Peter: No really, there are people volunteering here today solely so they can work for you.Max: I’ll bet they would switch departments in a minute if I would let them off the leash.Peter: Max, seriously, the crew wants you to know how much they are inspired by your leadership.Max: It’s all God’s doing, a trained ape could do the job I’m doing.Accepting a Compliment with Modesty"Your souffle is exquisite!""Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it." "Your rendition of Danny Boy brought me to tears." "Thank you, do you often come to didgeridoo open mic night?" "I love your art." "Thank you, I really love working with paper mache. This piece was inspired by my dog Fluffy." "Your brooch is adorable.""Why thank you! I was just noticing your boots, what a great color."
Why do proud people seem to dislike humble people that exceed their ability?
There is something innately arrogant about humble people in other people's eyes. Something awkward even. Say you were to insult someone humble... there would be no reaction on their part, besides maybe a smile. No comebacks, no crying or reaction really. This would be very awkward for you, and even embarrassing. We tend to resent those whom embarrass us, so there you have it. Of course, if we would just speak to them, we'd probably be humbled ourselves and no longer angry or resentful, because they don't view themselves as better than us, or even act like it.And especially, if you're proud and someone is better than you, you're gonna hate them if their humble or not. If they are humble, it'll be even more embarrassing for you, cause you were probably boasting beforehand about that particular ability. And like I said, embarrassment tends to lead to resentment
Are Famous People Happy?
What do they go through ? They seem really happy with all that money , fame , fans and photoshoots and seeing themselves on Tv ! I heard that most of them are sad !

Try to tell me everything about "The Fortune And Fame Life" Thanks In Advance :)
How to stop people assuming that I'm demure?
To be honest, it doesn't bother me that other people assume that I'm the shy type because I don't talk much, I have a soft voice, they told me I look gentle and harmless (I don't even know if it's a compliment or an insult), and modest and etc. But it bothered me last week 'cause this guy came up to me and asked me out, and I agreed. as soon as he gotten to know me better after a week, he told me "I thought you're the girl-next-door type, turns out you're a weird nerd who has a fetish on cartoons( Correction ANIME)." And then he told me that it's kinda of a turn-off. So it's not like the first time for me to experience that, only 3-4 times. And it's so annoying that when people get to know me more. they would always point out "I thought you were this innocent... bla bla bla.... yadah yadah yadah... sweet shy whatever..." and so on and so forth... I mean, come on! Don't assume I'm that I'm the demure type 'cause I don't talk too much.... I don't talk too much 'cause I don't like people and just brush them off in a good way..... So please help!
What do you think about humble people?
Humble people are like the BMW M5.If you saw one of these, you’d think it was just a normal run-off-the-mill $50k 5 series. It certainly looks like one.But it’s not.It has 600 horsepower which is enough to outrun every single Ferrari made before 2012 in a drag race.It humiliates most lower-end/older Porsches, Lamborghini’s and other supercars of that caliber. And it’s only a four door sedan.It can do 0–60 in 3 seconds flat, but doesn’t shout about it.The people that need to know how awesome it is will know:BMW engineersThe paying customersMembers of the BMW community (like me)The annoying assholes who don’t need to know won’t:The jerk revving his Ferrari at the traffic lights.Your annoying relatives.Parents who sit their kids on top of supercars and take photos.Cops.Insurance companies.Rich-car thieves/vandals.I have a classmate that has a 5.0 gpa, but not once in the four years I’ve known her has she mentioned it.I only know because she’s the valedictorian and her gpa has to be announced.Like the car above, I think she’s really cool.I pity people who feel the need to throw around their achievements. They’re insecure. They’re pathetic.The only ones who need to know how awesome you are, are the important people in your life, your employer/school and YOU.An attitude like that radiates confidence and security - traits that are wonderful to have in any person.Humble people are cool.
