We place a premium on higher education. No doubt it shows a level of determination and intelligence to earn a degree. But there’s more.
There are two other types of intelligence beyond our IQ. Our personality plays a large part in how successful we become. If you can’t get along with people, you probably won’t get very far because we need other people to work with us.
The greatest success comes to those who show a high level of adaptability. Being flexible and adjusting to change quickly is tantamount to successful outcomes. Applying what we know while being adaptable inspires the creative talents we all possess.
It’s good to be smart. It’s better when you are adaptable…
John the smartest person I know was my dad. He only finnished the 8th grade. He went to work during the depression to help feed his brothers and sisters.
