yes, it's deffinantly better to be smart and act dumb. The only problem with dumb people, is they don't usually realize that they are dumb. I could be dumb, and just not realize it. To me, it seems that most of the rest of the world is dumb, but I could be the dumb one. And shoes have a dramatic effect on how well you will do your job in an office talking on your phone.... just a random bit of info i don't understand cuz I'm dumb. I also am disturbingly quiet all the time though, I don't try to act smart.

Being smart and playing dumb is a good tactic for throwing your oponent off balance. It is similar to a martial arts technique where you act weak when you are strong. It gives the opponent a false impression, and he or she is likely to become over-confident which will give you the advantage.
If you try to act smart when you are really dumb, you will be surprised at how quickly other people will pick up on it. Acting smart is no substitution for BEING smart.

Better to be smart and play dumb because when it comes to work the smart people wins.

Smart & play dumb, that way u will always be under estimated. Which enables u to spring surprises.

If all of your actions are smart, the defintion of dumb just doesn't apply.

I think it depends, You need to identify when u need to be smart and when u need to be dumb

With all due respect, I believe it is better to let people underestimate you. That strategy has less penalty potential.
I am trying to think like you.
