Inner intelligence, is that more than being smart? or the same.?

Question

I'm glad, in some way. And of course I'm extremely proud of him. He's younger than me, he has won a lot of prizes at school. I haven't. I just read all day and fantasize. I write poetry, I can't live properly not even one day without my notebook and fountain pen. I ask myself philosophy question, wonder about the world. I'm intelligent, I think, but not smart.
How should I feel about this..
please try to give me a deep answer, as I am making a big confession here, nobody knows.
Please, no typical answers..
Thank you.

At first I was talking about my younger brother, he's smarter than me.

Answer 1

Someone who has inner intelligence...normally is thought to have the ability to achieve at a high level. It also means they might not be "book smart" or even do really well in school. They are inately smart.

I wouldn't put yourself down. I think you sound quite intelligent.
Reading opens your mind and your soul while fantasy tickles our imagination. Writing poetry combines all those things and sings them to the world. If that isn't an important contribution to the human race ..I don't know what is. So, don't try to compare yourself with anyone. We are each as unique and special in our own ways as you are

Answer 2

Okay, I get your point. Inner intelligence is a lot more different from being smart. When you say smart or intelligent, it shows off. You have good grades, people notice this characteristic of yours, and you really do well in school. But, when we say inner intelligence, its a deeper term of being smart, yet connected to the term 'wisdom'. Its being knowledgeable about the simplest things, but, the difference with the smart ones is that you look beyond the numbers when talking about inner intelligence. You notice the very small and simplest things in life, and get very deep perspective about it. In a way, its better to have inner intelligence than to just be smart. Coz in the real life, there are no numbers, only realities. Hope you understood what I meant..Sorry for the not-so-understandable advice... =)
