Not as dumb as I pretend.

I need supervision. Guidance. Coaching. Mentoring. Because I don’t know it all. Though I may act like I do. But in my most honest moments. I have to confess. I’m so stupid. That I don’t even have a clue. About so very many things. I need to be educated. One good thing. I have the ability to learn. Much more than I’ve learned so far. But still, there’s stuff I’ll never learn. Because I’m downright stupid. I have only so much brain power. That annoys me. Wish I had more. But I’ve come to the conclusion. That some people are smarter than me. That’s a blow to my ego. But I’ll find a way to adjust. By telling myself. I’m not as dumb as I pretend. --Jim Broede
