Why Staying Quiet Can Make You the Smartest Person in the Room

Sometimes you're the smartest guy in the room, but you don't want anybody to know it.

Let them think you're a dummy, you don't know anything.

And they're yapping away, yapping away, yapping away, right?

It's a big advantage.

There's other times when you're not the smartest guy in the room.

But if you keep your mouth shut, nobody knows that.

They don't know it, so you let them talk, commit themselves.

By the time they're finished, then you can become the smartest guy in the room,

because they told you everything, you know.
