If you ever find yourself thinking that you are the most brilliant person in a situation, you are doing something wrong.

It is extremely rare for you to actually be more brilliant than your peers. Believing you are will do nothing to ingratiate you to them, and will result in the host of problems. Drop the ego.

If you actually are the most brilliant person, move on. I enjoy working with people that put me to shame with their abilities. It is the only way to improve yourself.
