Recently I have been proven smarter than the people at the pet shop. As a result, I have been offered jobs at this store. I have also been proven smarter than the owner of the store, LOL, which I think irked the guy. I also realized that, in some cases, I know more than some breeders do (or that or I am just really lucky, LOL). I also found out that the rodent care I have for rats and mice works almost perfectly when I deal with the ASFs.
So has anyone else realized they knew more than they thought, or were dumber than they knew, LOL. Or just about where your knowledge was thought to be???
The scariest part is that my niece is catching up to me in her interest and knowledge of snakes. I find this surprising because I am the only source of reptile information she gets access to.
It's not complete, but MAN, I'm sure 5th graders can write better than you.

The older I get, the more I realize how little I actually do know.

Re: finding yourself smarter than you know
When you realize how much more you have to learn.. then you should consider yourself smart.
When you learn to interact with others, without trying to sound superior, and learn how to impart knowledge to others in a way that they are willing to use, then you'll be smart.
