To maintain the smartness, one has to master a few things to keep moving no matter what happens.

1. Shunning down ignorance

Ignorance, they say is no defense. The right attitude greatly involves shunning ignorance by all means because it is that vice that makes the possible seem impossible.

2. Approach situations in different and new ways

Try to be more creative in solving the challenges that come your way. Do not be afraid to take risks. If you fail, do not give up. Instead, try out different ways that would solve out the problem at hand.

3. Share out your ideas

Sharing what you learn makes it stick in your mind. This also helps to motivate those who think they are unable to achieve something meaningful in life. You are also able to get their view and contribution towards what you have shared.

4. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you

Your growth will be influenced greatly by those people you surround yourself with. Hang out with people who are better than you, this will serve you with great life ideas as well as supportive words that will boost your self-confidence. 

5. Have time on your own

Set out some time from your busy schedule to meditate on the day's plan and successes. This will help in calming your body and re-organising your life.
