I don't know a lot. Sure academically I'm smart. I'm streetwise, I can socialise, I know how to do things.

I can give good advice, no matter what the topic, but never seem able to take it. I can fix somebody else's problems, their life, but mending my own escapes me.

I can recite the entire periodic table from memory, I can wire a plug blindfolded. Drop me in the middle of a city with 20 quid and a phone and I'll do just fine.

But when it comes to the things that matter, I simply don't know.
