The world we live in today seems to be designed for the smart guys like you call them, after all, "the end justifies the means" is that not what they say?
But then smartness in this context doesn't always pay, bear in mind that for everything we do, there is a time of reckoning and even if you don't get rewarded for your good deeds now or in your life time, your children might cruise to success on the wings of your good name, trust me in my few days of voyage here on this planet, I have seen it happen.
