neutral  Yuri Yuri: if the quest is "to be smart" then it'd be להיות נבון\נבונה but I feel this word is rather between 'wise' and 'smart' (and more closer to 'wise')

smart - פיקח פיקחית


Explanation:
If we are to stick to the 'smart' then there's a literal translation that I put in the header. If, on the other hand , the driving word is 'intelligence/intelligent' then the first translation that comes to mind would be just those words transliterated into Hebrew - but in Hebrew it means more then just being smart.
