There are 2 kinds of smart people in this world:

-Book smarts
-Street smarts

Social intelligence falls under the 'street smarts' category.

You become upper echelon when you're book AND street smarts.

'Idk bro. Social intelligence seems like a scam.'

Nah, it's the real deal.

And it is your DUTY to teach yourself this crucial life subject.

'Why should I? I already have enough on my plate. Nintendo, Netflix & Twinkies.'

Fool!

There are 3 MASSIVE reasons you need to level up your social skills.

3 reasons that could potentially change your life forever...

Let me explain 👇

REASON 1: You will stand out

Look around you.

How many people are socially intelligent nowadays?

'Uh...'

Exactly.

Due to social media & abundance of comfort, most people from our generation have become lazy!

They have opted to only talk behind screens, rarely in public.

'Why?'

Because it's the easy thing to do!

People with social skills are as rare as a Charizard Pokemon card.

No lie.

Lesson?

Be the Charizard and you'll radiate like fire in any room.

REASON 2: Spot snakes

Snakes are highly socially intelligent.

They can do everything that I mentioned in the initial tweet with EASE.

If you're a social dummy, you'll have no clue when a potential snake is in your presence.

Why?

Because you lack SOCIAL AWARENESS.

The beauty of building social skills is that your social awareness skyrockets.

When you have awareness on your side, your mind is present.

A present mind allows you to listen to your gut.

Your gut always lets you know when something seems off.

Now you'll FINALLY listen!

REASON 3: Social Assets

You ever heard: It's not what you know, it's who you know.

'Of course!'

It's 100% true.

Knowing the right people saves you a lot of time in the real world.

While the book smarts kid is reading and reading away, the street smarts kid would have made 2 phone calls & got the job handled.

'Well, that doesn't seem fair.'

Life ain't fair homie!

Deal with it.

Just like anything in life, if it's worth it, then it will require hustle.

The only way to build your social intelligence is by being more social.

Rocket science, right?

While your counterparts are watching TV all day, go out to Toastmasters meeting.

While your counterparts wait for an event to be set up, go set one up yourself.

While your counterparts only know how to text, pick up the phone & call.

It's easy as fuck to stand out in today's world.

We are living in the Golden Era of Social Dynamics & everyone is too glued to their phones to even notice.

But not you!

The only thing that separates social awkwardness from social intelligence is EFFORT.

If you want to cross that bridge, you know what to do.

Now get out there & become a street smarts GENIUS.
