"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt"
- Bertrand Russell
About this Quote
This quote by Bertrand Russell speaks with the concept that the world remains in problem because those who are not smart are extremely confident in their beliefs and decisions, while those who are smart are filled with doubt. This is a problem due to the fact that those who are not intelligent are making choices without thinking about the effects, while those who are intelligent are too hesitant to act. This can result in a lack of development and a lack of options to the world's issues. It is very important to discover a balance between confidence and doubt, so that the world can progress. Those who are smart need to be motivated to act and trust their decisions, while those who are not must be encouraged to believe more seriously and think about the consequences of their actions. Just then can the world progress and progress.
