I think there are different kinds of smarts, and ultimately it comes down to your goals. Someone who is a mathematical genius may not be 'smart' with their money, and could end up broke.
i would prefer to be strategic than just being smart alone. Being strategic is a landmark
that exceeds smartness or smartness fully utilized. But if your clever, i surmise your all
of them. Strategy requires a lot of smartness to anticipate and prepare for whatever
endeavor or situation you are facing. I think somewhere along the way being smart and
strategic will line up since they are related if taken seriously to another level, applicable
to both life and business.
