To reduce your stress, try not to have strong opinions about everything.
Smart people are selectively ignorant about most things, and focused on some things.

Smart people are not necessarily stress free people.
Lower stressed people may be selectively ignorant and focused on select things, but not necessarily smart- unless smart is being defined as individuals who have lowered their stress levels.
That's solid advice! It's true that not sweating the small stuff can really help lower stress levels. Focusing our energy only on what truly matters can lead to a more balanced and satisfying life. Smart people definitely know the value of picking their battles wisely!
