How intelligent people spend their time
Here's a Sanskrit shloka that reflects how intelligent people spend their time:
"विद्यार्थिन: प्रियं तस्य प्रियतरं ज्ञानचिन्तनं।
स्वजनानां च संगतिरतिप्रिया विद्याविनोदिनी॥"
Translation:
"Vidyarthinah priyam tasya priyataram jnanachintanam
Svajananaam cha sangati ratipriya vidyavinodini"
Meaning:
"For the student, the most beloved is contemplation of knowledge,
More beloved than that is association with wise people."
*************
Here's a shloka that reflects the idea of intelligent people spending their time in coordination, cooperation, humor, music, and dance:
"सहकारं सहयोगं विवेकं हास्यमेव च।
संगीतं नृत्यं चेति विदुषां प्रियमेव तत्॥"
Translation:
"Sahakaram sahayogam vivekam hasyameva cha
Sangitam nrityam cheti vidusham priyameva tat"
Meaning:
"For the wise, cooperation, coordination, discernment,
Humor, music, and dance are most beloved."

काव्य शास्त्र विनोदेन, कालो गच्छति धीमताम्।
व्यसनेन च मूर्खाणां, निद्रयाकलहेन वा। ।
अर्थात् बुद्धिमान लोग अपना समय काव्य-शास्त्र अर्थात् पठन-पाठन में व्यतीत करते हैं वहीं मूर्ख लोगों का समय व्यसन, निद्रा अथवा कलह में बीतता है।
