This is probably an oversimplification, but the way things are going today it rings true. In every office there are two types of people.

Smart people: These people grasp concepts. They are able to think on their own. When they don't understand something they look into it and try and come up with a solution or at least a series of questions that will lead to answers.

Dumb people: These people do not grasp concepts. The second they begin to struggle with anything they run to someone who may know the answer and more times than not, don't just want the answer to their struggle, but want the smart person to do it for them.

I realize this distinction is obivous but you would think my co-workers and I were going steady with the amount of handholding I have had to do today.
