Our education system created the problem by giving exams
then grouping students by their scores. The top group is labeled smart and
assumed the most likely to succeed, but outside of academics being smart will
not ultimately determine their success:
For e.g when working for yourself, Persistence and Discipline is very impt. When
working for others , you need to have dependability . In Public or politics
being smart is just not enough, what’s probably most impt is patience and
Tactfulness & of course foresight. With starting Relationships, you need
Confidence and Respectfulness. Keeping Relationships is even harder , Trustworthiness and Patience . In the Entertainment
business, tops would be Charisma and
Persistence.
As you can see in most of these situations, smarts doesn't
help and can even distract or deter. The ideal situation for a smart person is
being isolated or around other smart people, so they can slowly reason things
out. But even when heavily controlled, life doesn't always allow that, so learn
to emphasize other qualities. For instance, show some patience before calling
someone stupid
