Eight Questions. Any brave answers?
- What do you call a person who takes credit for some one else's hardwork?
- Who are these people who indulge in these unethical practices in cheating others of their hardwork?
- Why do they do these things? What are their compulsions & motivations?
- What kind of education would they have received?
- Can we call that education?
- What kind of upbringing , habits, lifestyles would these kind of people have?
- Are they themselves responsible or should we blame their Teachers, Environment, System, Society.
- What can we do with these people? How do we treat them? Do they deserve respect?

Talking of brave/bold answers, the following may sound too straight forward to some. I would love if it rolls out a controversy and the subsequently, the thread…
The other name for such a person would be “short sighted”, because such techniques may help in the short run, but cannot surely be a long term permanent solution to a way of life.
For eg., no parents would have ever told their children to start smoking. But lot of people do. WHY? What are their compulsions and motivations? Wrong HABIT that got developed?
More importantly, it is not a permanent way of life. After damaging many other careers, some day it would come back to their own. “That” day their own lifestyle would change – but would it be toll late? Till that doesn’t happen, they, for sure are living a SMART life… till the time the judges don’t identify that its only the credit that they grabbed, but not the real hard work. Even till that time, they would be treated as SMARTER than the lot, who at least can identify opportunities and grab them on time and make use of them too.
In the discussion above we have sub-consciously assumed that such people will NEVER get into hard work. In those cases, they will still learn it the hard way, at the high cost of others.

Dear Raj
Your's is one of the most studied, objective, dispassionate and sensible reply I could have imagined.
Brilliant!!
Please do keep contributing to this forum. We all need people like you!
What I could decipher from your reply was that you believe that these people are "Smarter". Indeed they are. But I also believe that it is the inherent character of the person, the genetical makeup, which if nutured in an environment and circumstances which aids his/her natural instincts will turn him into this kind of person.
I know of people who are smart enough to realize that they are being taken advantage of, but do nothing / can do nothing because:
1. The other "Smart" person is in a "position" where he can take advantage ( It is like hitting a person who has his hands tied behind him and can't hit back).For example- Take away his "position", and he / she may lose all the smartedge.
2. The victim may do nothing as it is not his inherent nature to hit back, outsmart others, hurt anyone or KILL his conceince in order to prove his smartness.
I feel it boils down to who listens to his / her conceince and who doesn't.

really genious questions and finally the genious answers for all the question.
But in my opinion, these smart people who exist in the beautiful world, you cannot change them.
i agree that these are some genetic qualities and some are situational ar can say that due to the environment.
and finally these smart people are always smart and its not a short tem. in long term also they always get the success as they use all the opportunities to avail others credit. and the people who are not that smart to grab others opportunities thay cannot change themselves as they are teached in that way in the learning stage.
so, the victim always is a victim and the smart person get smarter and enjoy others hard work. and in my opinion its the hard core bottom line of all this questions an answers.

Hi All
Just wondering if only the victims and the less smart people cry foul? Or do "smart" people too crib about people taking advantage of them.
Again if I compare myself to people smarter than me ( Fortunately I can realize if the other person is smarter than I am after some interaction) and how some of them are pretty honest in theri dealings and then I see some people who I presume may be a little less smart than I am, and how despite that, I treat them with utmost respect and honesty, I again feel all this may NOT be a question of survival of the smartest but more to do with one's ethical values and moral concience.
Thieves, Burgulars, Dacoits, conmen etc are supposedly less smart in the chain, but still try to take away other's hard earned money... Almost the same as stealing some one's hard work ....right? You tell me!!
