Being born intelligent is only part of the equation. It takes hard work and a little luck, too.
The world is filled with successful people of less-than-average intelligence who simply work hard and are in the right place. On the other side of the coin, there are many highly intelligent people who never find satisfaction or material success.
The game is made up of many aspects. We do best when we don't ignore any of them.
- chrisweekly 7y agoNothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. - Coolidge
