Definition of Shrewd

The term sagacious is used to refer to that individual who stands out for his cunning, foresight and prudenceThat is to say, the shrewd person will never be anticipated or surprised by things, the successors, but quite the opposite, because he, before that happens, will know how to take the pertinent forecasts. Certain professions, such as lawyer, military, investigator and politician usually require yes or yes of this quality if you want to succeed in those actions that are filed.

The sagacityas the aforementioned capacity for foresight, cunning and prudence that the shrewd individual displays, is a intelligence attribute that it is in no way innate, that is, there are individuals who possess it and cultivate it to exacerbate it, while there are others who do not have the aforementioned capacity for sagacity.

Although on many occasions it is related to shrewdness and therefore the shrewd person is linked to dishonest situations, dishonesty has nothing to do with shrewdness, that is, shrewdness is a totally positive quality that, as we said, implies a special disposition in favor of foresight and prudence when acting; sagacity is not bad or negative per se, but what makes it negative will be its use in favor of bad actions that have nothing to do with good customs. So, in these cases there is no bad sagacity, but individuals who possess such capacity and use it to achieve petty and negative objectives for the common good.
