To be or not to be?

For centuries, powerful leaders and rulers were wary of very smart people around them. When their positions were threatened by these smart people, many got killed, few managed to escape and some found ways to leave and overthrown their rulers. In the modern context, this scenario hasn’t changed a bit. Bosses and employers today are behaving the same. Most do not hire very smart people for fear of being over-taken by them. Almost all bosses like ‘YES’ men surrounding them and just take instructions.

Some smart people just leave before they are axed. Some just pretend to be not-so-smart and do what the boss wants. It’s a choice they make.
