Don't need to be smart in every room there are rooms where you should speak up show your work and make it very clear what you're going to the table and then there are rooms where you sit back and just observe not because you don't understand what is happening.
You just haven't decided yet if it's what you're feeling that you understand people behave differently when they think they are being watched by so intelligent they become more careful with their words and more calculated but let them think by not paying attention you learn a lot more and that's then discernment to me know you what to say is wanting to know you but not to reveal another thing so that is life for you.
