I wish I was clever

clever  \kle-var\adj 1. showing skill or resourcefulness; 2. marked by wit or ingenuity
                                             


We all know imaginative people who have an effortless knack for
creativity and style.


Clever people are like people who are innately funny.  It's a gift,
not something you can study or learn.  


Pictures can explain it so much better.
