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.
Absolutely right, there are different kinds of smart. Being smart is good as well as being strategic. If I would to choose, I would go with being smart. If you are a smart person then become strategic is always in your mind. Being strategic comes from being smart. Being strategic is good but you cant depend on strategies always, we need to use our knowledge on how to become successful. If a person had the chatacteristic of being smart and strategic, then that person will become successful.
