Its not about being the or smartest, it's about doing what you have to do
Unless you have to do sales/marketing, in which case - tough luck! You can't be silent.

At the end of the day, you've got to do your best with what you've got.
You definitely don't need to be the smartest! Hard work comes up first.
But if your moving in silence all the time, how is anyone suppose to know you're moving? I guess its a chicken vs the egg issue, but I'm trying to be less silent these days about what I'm up too.
If people don't know you're working hard, it's hard for them to give you the opportunities you're looking for. I'm not necessarily advocating you blog your life and activities, but it doesn't hurt to have some type of paper trial or audit trail of what you're working on so people can follow along.
This doesn't mean you need to follow the "build in public" mantra, but posting on Twitter or blogging here or there is a basic requirement these days, whether we like it or not. Otherwise, the world won't know what you've been up too, and we won't be able to celebrate your efforts.
