Being smart is very subjective. I know someone who is very skilled at retaining large amounts of detailed information and he works as a high profile lawyer. However, he wasn't capable of figuring out how to change the battery in his remote control, let alone set up the TV channels on his newly bought TV. He reminds me of a lot of politicians I see on television; perceived as smart but actually quite dumb. Then I know plenty of people who aren't highly educated at all but they are some of the most creative thinkers I have come across in my life. I'm sure that reading a lot of books will broaden your horizon and awareness of one's "lack" of knowledge will put you into a good position since you're willing to learn and you're not assuming you know it all. That's good.
