I married into a very high achieving Asian family and I understand what these attitudes do to a person. I am a regular dude who figured out a different strategy. You will observe that there are plenty of successful people who aren’t as smart as you. They just worked hard. Therefore, I reasoned that by just working hard and with a little bit of common sense, I could get better than 80% of most people without being particularly smart. I am a good programmer, but not the best. I’m a pretty decent business person, but not the best. I am a pretty good writer and public speaker, but not the best. Combining these things help me create what by most standards would be a very successful career, despite being kicked out of high school and not finishing college.
