think different

The problem with people who are smart is that they like to think about the smallest details endlessly that they never get to the main point. I understand the need to look over the details, but sometimes, the details become meaningless. Meaningless details become so senseless that listeners become irritated the instant the person talks about the details. I must admit I just had the exact same feeling. Being smart may be great. However, as far as I'm concerned, being smart is not something I want to be. Apple says "think different" in many of their advertisements. Thinking is one thing. Thinking different is another. The need to be able to think different may be something I am looking for the past few months.
