I've given up on humility, I'm smart, atleast relative to my environment. This has become obvious to me during my school years. I've never had to do homework or study before tests, because I'm smart. I know people who aren't dumb who have had to spend a lot of time studying.
It's not hard to know if you're smart or not, what's hard is knowing really how smart you really are. I'm probably not the smartest person on HN, I might very well be among the dumber ones? How would I really determine that? I have no good answer to that. But I am smart. You probably are, too, and the sooner you realize that and admit it openly, the better.
