INTELLIGENCE IS NOT ENOUGH.
INTELIGENCE IN OTHER WORDS COMMON SENSE OR JUDGEMENT. SOME SAY IT IS ABILITY TO ADAPT ONESELF TO JUDGE WELL, UNDERSTAND WELL AND REASON WELL.
IT IS A CAPACITY OF SUCCESFUL ADJUSTMENTTT IN ALL SORTS OF SITUATION.
INTELIGENCE IS NOT ENOUGH. SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ARE ALSO IMPORTANT FOR SUCCESS.
INTELLIGENCE alone is not enough; it has never been enough on its own. You may be an ordinary student but you can be an extraordinary success at whatever you choose to do. The two most important ingredients for a successful life are a goal and persistence with confidence.
according to martin luther king
We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living."
It is a mistake to assume that intelligent people are necessarily good thinkers. Intelligence is a potential. Without the ability to harness that potential through ‘thinking skills’, however, it can be wasted.
here are social games, money games, status games and little mini-games within each professional discipline.
Intelligence doesn't necessarily give you an advantage in all these games, it might even handicap you (e.g., the social game). Either because a game is simple enough that it doesn't take more than average intelligence to fully master it, or perhaps more commonly because the game is too unpredictable / chaotic for intelligence to model it usefully at all.
For example, it doesn't matter how smart you are, you can't predict the weather reliably more than a week into the future, because the weather is a chaotic system. Predicting the weather isn't just a random example. In the real world you're much more likely to come up against non-linear problems than linear ones. Chaos makes fools of the best of us.
Unfortunately for the unusually intelligent there aren't many of them around and life is generally not a math puzzle or a game of chess. Being more intelligent certainly makes you different but it won't make you more successful unless you're very careful to choose a lucrative field that can take full advantage of it inside a support structure that frees you from most of the drudgery.
