I think what the author is trying to get at is that brilliance, ideas, energy etc can be a curse. I am sure everyone here knows of a few young entrepreneur types jumping from idea to idea never quite sticking with anything for a long enough period. Success is rarely about ideas but about execution. If you look at the most successful entrepreneurs today they rarely got where they were by doing something totally original. They got where they are through execution. Its about detail and escaping the grasshopper mindset of jumping from idea to idea.
