[quote=Anonymous]"It's not how smart you are, it's how you are smart."

My husband went to an elite college and law school, and read the WSJ every day, and is brilliant in business and with numbers. But despite all his fancy learnin', he has abysmal communication skills - misuses words constantly and consistently, and cannot write to save his life. He is gregarious and outgoing but only really relates to people who are like him. He cares a lot - and talks a lot - about where people went to college.

I went to my local state university and earned a bachelor's degree. I am not mathematically inclined and I have no business sense, but I am an strong communicator and writer and I make my living in the arts. I have a high E.Q. and a very diverse group of friends.

I think my husband respects my intellect but wishes I was more inclined to read up on the news and discuss current events, as he loves to do. I wish he was more down-to-earth and compassionate; less stuck-up.

Interestingly (or maybe not), we are both Jews - but I am second-generation while both sides of his family have been here for generations.[/quote]
