Don't act to be smart

The instant a person determines a plot or a game that was frolicked against him he swiftly tries to attest to his enemies that he was clever enough to find out their plan and that's entirely wrong. An actual mastermind can make an over smart person feel safe by performing like a fool. Let them go on with their strategy while seeming to be completely susceptible and then at the right time we can foray back where there will be no time left for them for a counter-attack. It is the same as running from a mugger up until you trap him to a dead-end where you have formerly agreed with the cop to wait for you there. That criminal will feel safe as he will ruminate that he is in a situation of power and as soon as he reaches that place where you wanted him to reach he will see the police waiting for him eagerly. You may not want to act too smart as well in order not to make new enemies. Out of the wish to display off their over smartness, many smart people make the blunder of revealing the way the plot. Intellect is not measured by your IQ alone but its also calculated by your capability to rheostat the sentiments that can avert you from being intelligent. Even if you identify the right things to do you will still be doing the wrong thing if you do not succeed to switch your emotions. When you don't display how your mind works, the over smart person will get astonished by your movements and forget preparing themselves.
