No, a smart person understands their own capacity for making mistakes, observes the patterns in their mistakes, and implements strategies to prevent them moving forward.

"An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field." -Niels Bohr, physicist, Nobel laureate

A smart person is one who knows they are not the smartest person and one who knows how to turn failure into success.
