Som: Not a problem.

My very own and deeply felt ideas are (as I mentioned in the previous post):

[A] A person pushing him/herself to do the best is acting intelligently.

[B] When the ego takes over ("I am the best") then s/he is not acting 
intelligently.

[C] An indolent, complacent person is not acting intelligently to begin with.

Way of intelligence is to pursue [A] and avoid [B] and [C].
