I dunno..Are we?
I guess it depends on what you consider SMART...if Bill Gates / Donald Trump are smart in your opinion then maybe you have a high standard of what smart is. Einstein was smart right...well i think it has a lot to do with our upbringing and how much were exposed to...for example...
When Albert Einstein was five, his father showed him a pocket compass. Albert realized that something in empty space was moving the needle and later stated that this experience made "a deep and lasting impression". At his mother's insistence, he took violin lessons starting at age six, and although he disliked them and eventually quit, he later took great pleasure in Mozart's violin sonatas. As he grew, Albert built models and mechanical devices for fun, and began to show a talent for mathematics...
Did his upbringing help him...maybe...or it was his internal curiosity for the unknown that sparked his "genius"...
I think were all smart in our own ways....where 1 person may be great at Mathematics another may be great at Sports...being SMART as you say has so many levels i believe its in us all...
Really its how we use our smarts to better mankind that splits the fine line between Hero and Villain...corny but true...
Hope the answer helps... |

Depends upon what you mean by smart. If you're talking about IQ smart, then no, we are not all smart. Half of us have IQs of less that 100 which is not considered smart. |

Are you asking whether we are all of above average intelligence?
For what do you admire Bill Gates and Donald Trump? For making lots of money? Would you be happy if you set up your own business and got lots of money? But maybe you admire these men and others for harnessing their intelligences to achieve their high goals. |

EVERYONE has some ability that is superior to others (in the same area) - I have seen people who can not read rip a motor apart in record time, diagnose the problem and fix it in record time. That's still ability.
The people you mention figured out what they were good at and did it - granted an auto mechanic might not get that rich that fast, but if they developed a tool to make a job faster, they could be richer then the average mechanic. |

Sorry buddy, but in this country unless you're an intellectual prodigy (like Bill Gates) it takes money to make money (like Donald Trump) |

I would love to be a self made woman, but unfortunately the chances are that I won't be. Trump and Gates are famous for a reason. |

Yes, we're all smart in one aspect or another. There are very few people who are smart at EVERYTHING. If you admire those people, well maybe you should try to be more like them. |

You just asked that question, consequently, you've proven the hypothesis false. |
