This rings true to me. The smartest person sporadically makes important contributions, but the most energetic person pushes things forward every single day. The most successful person I know has boundless energy at work, and is often used as a resource for many other people, helping them get their work done. She's on the national board of the professional association that oversees her field. She takes exceptional care of her extended family, and somehow manages to squeeze in vacations, nights out dancing, and time with her friends watching football on the weekend. Furthermore, she volunteers for an organization that helps new immigrants feel welcome, get settled, and find employment. Also, she decided to teach at the local college two nights a week for the last few years and gets glowing reviews from her students. Makes me tired just typing it all out.
