One of the smartest things I have done this year was to hire someone else to do a job that I could have done myself.

I say "one of the smartest" because I don't like explaining to others, "What is the smartest thing you have done this year," as in, what is your favorite movie? What is your favorite song? What is your favorite food?

Choosing your favorite or your best or your greatest is nearly impossible. One, I don't have a total-recall memory. Two, my favorite-best-greatest changes by the year, month, day or hour.
