ITS GUTS (COURAGE) NOT GENIUS THAT MAKES PEOPLE SUCCESSFUL
I have interacted closely with very successful people in different fields and professions and my finding is this: What made these people very successful is not just their genius or intelligence. NO! The one thing that made them successful is simply having the guts(courage) to do what others fear to do. They had the courage to start something — A project, a consultancy, and/or a business venture. Etc.
They succeeded because they had the courage to be practical about life instead of just falling in love with theories and their academic achievements. You see, many intelligent people are ever planning with little or no execution of those plans and as the saying goes, ‘No guts, no glory!’
I know a lot of geniuses and intelligent people who are struggling to make ends meet. These are Men and Women who got 6 points at grade 12 and graduated with amazing results from the university, just to end up in average paying jobs, late alone struggle to make ends meet.
I have also noticed that People with Guts (Courage) are actually in the habit of employing geniuses to work for them. So If you are a genius with no guts (courage) to convert genius into Gold(profit) for yourself, then likelihood is that a person with guts(courage) to start a venture will come and employ you.
